The Portland ePrix is an annual race of the FIA Formula E World Championship, an all-electric single-seater racing series. The race was held on a modified version of the Portland International Raceway (PIR) for the first time on June 24, 2023.[1] Nick Cassidy won the inaugural race for Envision Racing, with Jake Dennis and António Félix da Costa completing the podium.[2]
History[edit]
After construction in the Red Hook area of Brooklyn caused the New York City ePrix to be taken off the calendar for 2023, Formula E signed a deal with the City of Portland and PIR in order to keep the American interest in Formula E alive over the stop-gap period in New York. FE co-founder Alberto Longo said that the Portland motorsports fanbase and the city's "ecological credentials" were vital in choosing the city to play host to Formula E.[3] The ePrix will be the first of its kind in the Pacific Northwest, the first ePrix on the US West Coast since the 2015 Long Beach ePrix, and the fourth United States ePrix following Long Beach, NYC, and the Miami ePrix.
Circuit[edit]
The Portland International Raceway will be home to the event, [4] and unlike other FE races at permanent circuits such as Valencia, there were no changes to the circuit layout (although the barrier at the entrance to the Shelton Chicane was tightened) proceeding the ePrix.[original research?] With the ePrix debuting in 2023, this will mark the third auto race held at PIR alongside IndyCar's Grand Prix of Portland and the NASCAR Xfinity Series Pacific Office Automation 147.
