 2024 Tokyo E-Prix

The 2024 São Paulo E-Prix, officially known as the 2024 ABB Formula E São Paulo E-Prix, was the fourth round of the 2023/24 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship, staged at the São Paulo Street Circuit centred on the Anhembi Sambadrome in São Paulo, Brazil.[1] The race would constitute a race long brawl at the head of the field, before being decided in the final few moments as Sam Bird pulled a stunning move on Mitch Evans in the final pair of corners to snatch victory.[2]
Qualifying had seen the second closest result in the Series' history, with Pascal Wehrlein claiming pole position by just 0.002s in an engrossing final duel where the gap between the duo ebbed and flowed before ultimately ending up in the German pilot's favour.[3] Wehrlein would have to overcome Edoardo Mortara and Maximilian Günther in order to reach the final, beating both comfortably, while Vandoorne fended off challenges from Mitch Evans and then teammate Jean-Éric Vergne on his own run to the final.[3]
The start of the race saw a flawless getaway from Wehrlein, with the German pilot storming off the grid to secure an unopposed lead into the first corner, the field behind simply unable to keep with the #94 Porsche.[2] Behind, Evans eyed a move down the inside of the both of the DS Penskes but ultimately had to settle for splitting the duo, while Bird briefly entertained a lunge around the outside of Vergne before having to scrap with Mortara through the following corners to maintain his grip on fifth.[2]
The race quickly settled into a peleton style affair as has happened in the inaugural 2023 São Paulo E-Prix, with Wehrlein drifting back into the pack before arming his first Attack Mode boost on lap three, followed by Vandoorne.[2] They dropped back into the pack behind Vergne, Evans and Bird, with António Félix da Costa also managing to muscle his way past Vandoorne, before the lead duo took their first AM boost on lap four to hand Bird the lead.[2]
Bird's first boost saw him rejoin without losing the lead, a result of the two Porsches fighting together to get to the head of the pack, before the Brit was duly passed by the Stuttgart powered duo.[2] With that the second round of AM boosts came and went with Jake Dennis joining the fight for the lead as a result, before the race was tamed for the first time on lap sixteen when Nick Cassidy smacked into the wall at turn nine after his front wing, damaged from earlier contact, dropped under the car and robbed him of any steering.[2]
After four laps the race resumed with Bird leading the charge, the #8 McLaren not bolting away from the rest despite the Safety Car intervention reducing some of the energy pressure on the field.[2] He was duly overtaken by Evans as the top six began to ease clear in the closing stages of the race, with Evans and Bird joined by the two Porsches of Wehrlein and da Costa, the Andretti-Porsche of Dennis, and the factory Nissan of Oliver Rowland, who had quietly got himself into the lead group with a series of stealthy overtakes.[2]
Onto the final lap and Evans and Bird were able to run almost flat-out, allowing them to duel for victory as Wehrlein and Dennis scrapped for third, the #1 Andretti suffering with battery temperatures.[2] Bird had half a look into the first corner and then the hairpin, before deciding to wait until after the chicane to make his bid for victory.[2] Yet, Bird would stun everyone when he did pounce, throwing the #8 McLaren around the outside of the #9 Jaguar of Evans through the flatout kink of turn nine, before expertly diving on the brakes into turns ten and eleven to seal the move.[2]
It was a stunning overtake and a few seconds later Bird swept across the line to claim his first FE victory since the 2021 New York City E-Prix II and the first for McLaren in FE.[2] Evans was a humble second, while Rowland stormed past Wehrlein and Dennis out of the final corner to claim third to put two Nissans on the podium.[2] Wehrlein himself leapt ahead of Dennis to secure fourth, da Costa trailing them across the line having been unable to keep with the scrap, with Vergne, Vandoorne, Günther and Sébastien Buemi rounding out the scorers.[2]
Background[]
Almost eight weeks would pass between the chequered flag falling in Diriyah and the field arriving in São Paulo, a result of the Hyderabad E-Prix, scheduled for 10 February 2024, being cancelled and not being replaced on the calendar.[1][4] Regardless, the 2023/24 Formula E tour would find itself in familiar surroundings at the Anhembi Sambadrome in São Paulo, with the São Paulo Street Circuit unchanged for the series' second visit to the city.[1] Likewise, there were no changes to the entry list after the trip to Diriyah, while Attack Mode would remain set at two activations lasting for a total of eight minutes.[5]
Manufacturer Celebrations[]
The break allowed for a lot of off-track changes for the series, with a major addition coming to the rules with the creation of a Manfacturers' Trophy the most significant one.[6] This new trophy would be awarded to the highest scoring manufacturer across the season, with points awarded to each manufacturers' two highest place cars at each E-Prix according to the results of each E-Prix, with additional cars ignored in order to fairly score manufacturers with customers against those who did not.[6] The points from the opening three rounds were added retroactively to the table ahead of the trip to São Paulo, with Jaguar leading the charge with 103 points, 33 ahead of Porsche in second.[6]
Six entries to the trophy were registered for 2023/24, namely: Jaguar (4 cars); Porsche (4 cars); Mahindra & Mahindra (4 cars); Nissan (4 cars); Stellantis (4 cars); Electric Racing Technologies (2 cars). The Stellantis entry was created from the combination of DS and Maserati, both of which were brands/manufacturers owned under the Stellantis group umbrella.[6]
Mini Support[]
Elsewhere, Formula E unveiled a new support series named the NXT Gen Cup, which was set to be a championship entirely focused on developing junior drivers in a fully electric series.[7] Based around the electric version of the Mini Cooper SE built for racing by Lestrup Racing Team and named the LRT NXT1, the NXT Gen Cup was hoped to become a genuine feeder category for Formula E, which would familiarise young drivers with the demands of racing electric vehicles and the challenges it entailed.[7] Founded in Sweden, the series was expected to support FE at all of its European rounds, beginning with a double header in Misano in April 2024, while also featuring at two rounds of the DTM series in 2024.[7]
It was hoped that the series would prove more relevant than FE's previous support series, the Jaguar I-Pace eTrophy Series, which had suffered from small grid sizes, a general lack of interest and had even disrupted the wider FE schedule several times due to accidents caused by the heavy Jaguar I-Pace base car.
Logistics, Records and the Cloud[]
Away from the FE series itself and Formula E would unveil a new logistical headquarters at the Circuit Ricardo Tormo in Valencia, Spain, which had effectively become the series' home during the off-season and sole host of pre-season testing since 2017.[8] The move ended the series' relationship with Donington Park in the UK, the location for FE's very first tests with the Spark-Renault SRT 01E and the very foundation of the series, with the logistics hub being moved from the British circuit to its new home in Spain.[8] Initially FE would move into temporary buildings at the circuit, before a purpose built structure in the paddock specifically created to cater for FE's needs would become the permanent home for the series at the Circuit Ricardo Tormo.[8]
As work began on the permanent hub for FE in Spain, Reem Al Aboud, a Saudia Arabian racer, would take to the wheel of the GENBETA development car for a record attempt, aiming to set a new acceleration record for and FIA accredited single seater.[9] Al Aboud duly set a new benchmark 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) time of 2.49s, beating the record held by Formula One and its 2022-26 ruleset.[9] The GENBETA car had been tweaked since its debut and Guiness World Record display at the 2023 London E-Prix I, with FE's latest partner Google Cloud having gone through the data with an AI tool to better improve understanding of the data from the GENBETA.[10]
Cassidy Class[]
Victory in only his third race with Jaguar Racing had sent Nick Cassidy to the top of the standings as the second race weekend came to a conclusion, the New Zealander having claimed three straight podiums and 57 points in the first three races. Pascal Wehrlein had made way for him and dropped to second, some nineteen points behind, while Jean-Éric Vergne was a further five behind in third. Jake Dennis' non-score saw him drop to fourth and 29 points behind the early leader, Mitch Evans was 36 behind his new teammate already, while Oliver Rowland and Sacha Fenestraz earned their first points of the campaign to take the total number of scorers to fifteen after three races.
In the Teams' Championship Jaguar Racing had eased further clear as they established themselves as the pace setters in 2023/24, the British squad leaving Diriyah with 78 points and a healthy 31 point advantage at the head of the field. DS Penske were the closest challengers to the factory Jaguar squad in second, while Porsche had moved back up to third ahead of their customers Andretti Formula E. The American squad themselves had suffered a rare non-score as they slipped to fourth, level with Envision Racing but ahead courtesy of Dennis' victory at the 2024 Diriyah E-Prix I, while the Nissan Formula E Team had become the latest team to add their name to the scoresheet, leaving the two Mahindra powered squads as the only pointless teams after three rounds.

Qualifying[]
Qualifying for the 2024 São Paulo E-Prix would be conducted according to the knockout format, introduced ahead of season eight.[12] The field would be split into two groups of eleven drivers, based on Championship position, with each group then getting ten minutes on track to complete as many laps as they wished at 300 kW.[12] The fastest eight overall would then proceed to the knockout phase, now running at the maximum 350 kW qualifying mode, with the fastest from group A against the fourth fastest from group A and so on, until four drivers were left.[12]
Those four would move on to the Semi-Final, with the winner of A1/A4 taking on the victor of A2/A3, while the triumphant driver of B3/B2 would take on B4/B1's winner.[12] The winners from those duels would then go into the final, with the winner of that duel taking pole ahead of the runner-up, with any grid penalties applied after the conclusion of the duel.[12]

Standings[]
Nick Cassidy had his strong start to the season to thank, for his first non-score of the campaign had not resulted in the New Zealander being toppled from the top of the Championship standings with a quarter of the season completed. His lead had been reduced to just six points however, Pascal Wehrlein having retained second place with his pole and fourth place finish, while Mitch Evans was a further fourteen off his teammate in third. Jean-Éric Vergne was level with Evans on 39 points in fourth, Jake Dennis rounded out the top five just a further point back, while António Félix da Costa had become the sixteenth scorer of the season with his first points of the campaign.
In the Teams' Championship it was Jaguar Racing who continued to head the charge leaving Brazil, their lead standing at 35 points over second placed Porsche. DS Penske had moved aside for the German squad and slipped to third, four points behind, with the McLaren Formula E Team having leapt up to fourth after their maiden victory in FE. Andretti Formula E then completed the top five ahead of the factory Nissan Formula E Team, while Mahindra Racing and ABT Cupra remained the only pointless teams with a quarter of the season gone.
In the new Manufacturers' Trophy, which had had the points from Mexico City and Diriyah retroactively added it was Jaguar who led the charge, 28 points clear of Porsche in second. Nissan's third win had pushed the Japanese manufacturer up to third ahead of the Stellantis group, ERT held fifth, while neither of the Mahindra powered squads had registered points in Brazil to leave the Indian manufacturer without a point at all in 2023/24.
