RIYADH: The ABB FIA Formula E World Championship returns to the Big Apple this Saturday and Sunday with the New York City E-Prix on the streets of the Red Hook neighborhood of Brooklyn.

Going into the weekend’s double-header of races with Rounds 11 and 12 of the biggest-ever, 16-race season, it looks to be a four-horse race in both the Drivers’ and Teams’ World Championship.

Edoardo Mortara (ROKiT Venturi Racing), Jean-Eric Vergne (DS TECHEETAH), Stoffel Vandoorne (Mercedes-EQ), and Mitch Evans (Jaguar TCS Racing) are ahead of the drivers’ pack while their respective teams hold the exact same position in the standings.

Mortara fired himself to the top of the Drivers’ World Championship last time out in Marrakesh, with a third win of the season after holding off intense pressure from DS TECHEETAH’s Vergne and Antonio Felix da Costa.
