291ds agoThe Formula E World Championship returned to
New York City for its fifth year this weekend.
Twenty-two international drivers in 11 teams went
head-to-head for a spot on the podium.
Formula E brings together the world's best electric car manufacturers
and drivers for 16 races around the world. The cars are fully electric and can
go up to 174 miles per hour.
Heavy rain caused several drivers to slide off into the
barriers, but no one was hurt. Officials did have to end the race nearly 10 minutes
early.
New Zealand driver Nick Cassidy took home first place.
Second and third place went to Brazil’s Lucas di Grassi and Dutch driver Robin
Frijns.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams also attended the event to
congratulate the drivers.
Round 12 of the race will take place in Brooklyn on Sunday
before the racers head to London and then to South Korea.
