Controversy Surrounds Portland Formula E Race.
Originally Published 2 years ago — by The Race
The Portland E-Prix saw a record 403 overtaking moves, with drivers jostling for position while trying to save energy. Some writers praised the new racing style, while others criticized it as being too fabricated and counter-intuitive. Safety concerns were also raised due to the extreme lift-and-coasting. However, the podium trio of Nick Cassidy, Jake Dennis, and Antonio Felix da Costa showed the skill involved in handling this type of racing and positioning oneself at the front with the right amount of energy to deploy. Overall, the new racing style may generate new fans, but it remains to be seen if it will get old quickly.
