The strategic battle for top spot was evidenced from the opening lap at Formula E’s 4th US venue, as positions and race leaders changed corner by corner in groups five and six wide at times.

The Kiwi got to the front several times and finally got the better of the competition. Cassidy held fast for a third win of 2022/23. Teammate Sébastien Buemi finishing in fifth.
