Race 4 at Hyderabad, India

Porsche has achieved a strong team performance at the Hyderabad E-Prix: After a spirited race with the Porsche 99X Electric, António Félix da Costa clinched third place – his first podium result of the season and his first as a Porsche works driver. His teammate Pascal Wehrlein took the flag at the Formula E debut in India in fourth place. With this result, he extended his lead in the drivers’ standings, with the TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team moving to the top of the leaderboard in the team classification for the first time.

The premiere of ABB FIA Formula E World Championship in the capital of the southern Indian state of Telangana was an outstanding advertisement for fully electric racing. On the 2.816-kilometre street circuit at the shores of the Hussain Sagar Lake, the 22 drivers treated fans to gripping battles for positions and spectacular overtaking manoeuvres. After 33 laps, both Porsche 99X Electric fielded by the TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team finished in the top four.

In the drivers’ standings of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship, Pascal Wehrlein, the winner of both races at Diriyah, leads the drivers’ standings with 80 points after four of 16 races. António Félix da Costa has moved up the rankings to ninth place with 21 points. The TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team is the new leader of the team classification with 101 points.

Race 2 and 3 at Diriyah, Saudi Arabia

Porsche has celebrated an outstanding weekend in Formula E: Pascal Wehrlein (GER) won both night races at the Diriyah E-Prix, at the wheel of the new  Porsche 99X Electric Gen3. 

The double strike in Diriyah makes the start of the season perfect for the new Porsche 99X Electric Gen3. So far, the Weissach-developed electric racing car has won all season 9 races: after Porsche’s customer team Avalanche Andretti won the season opener in Mexico, Pascal Wehrlein has followed up with two victories in Diriyah for the TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team. His teammate António Félix da Costa (POR), the 2020 Formula E champion, crossed the finish line on the city circuit in the capital of Riyadh in eleventh place.
