Da Costa pulled off a sensational move on Vergne to take victory in the Cape Town E-Prix. Full report and results:
The Portuguese had surged from 11th on the grid to factor into the leading battle, taking the lead from on the 24th lap with a brave outside pass in the flat-out Turn 8 before motoring off into the distance.
The Porsche driver did not give up the fight, looming large in Vergne's mirrors over the final laps and using the slipstream to get level on energy with his former DS Techeetah team-mate. Da Costa and Vergne had moved up into the top three following Maximilian Gunther's lap 21 crash as he hit the wall at Turn 1 and, as the Maserati MSG driver pulled up to stop, a full-course yellow period was introduced just as the leading pair of Cassidy andWhile Cassidy held on, Fenestraz lost positions to da Costa and Vergne at the introduction of the short yellow-flag period while Gunther's car was cleared from the Turn 4/5 chicane run-off.
Cassidy completed the podium after leading most of the final two-thirds of the race, and although the New Zealander fell behind polesitter Sacha Fenestraz, the Franco-Argentine driver crashed on the final lap to allow Cassidy to claim a second podium on the bounce.
