Jaguar TCS Racing’s Mitch Evans produced a sublime performance to take the title fight in Season 8 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship to the final day after winning the inaugural Hana Bank Seoul E-Prix.
Formula E made its debut in Seoul on Saturday in what was the first time in nine years that South Korea has hosted a major motorsport event – the most recent being the 2013 Seoul Grand Prix – and also the first world championship sporting event held at the Jamsil Olympic Stadium since the Olympic Games in 1988.
Ad Stoffel Vandoorne (Mercedes-EQ) went into the weekend the heavy favourite to secure the World Championship title with a 36-point lead over second-placed Evans in the drivers’ standings.
