.afelixdacosta pulled off an outrageous overtake on Jean-Eric Vergne to claim his first FormulaE victory of the year in a wild CapeTownEPrix. Report ⬇️
The Portuguese had surged from 11th on the grid to factor into the leading battle, taking the lead from on the 24th lap with a brave outside pass in the flat-out Turn 8 before motoring off into the distance.
The Porsche driver did not give up the fight, looming large in Vergne's mirrors over the final laps and using the slipstream to get level on energy with his former DS Techeetah team-mate. This opened the door for da Costa to continue his compelling charge through the field, with Cassidy falling to his gutsy move.
Guenther did not cede position to Fenestraz, earning an investigation for his efforts, and the Nissan driver then fell behind Cassidy during this initial foray into the attack mode zone.
