Nick Cassidy says Formula E title fight this year would be seen as ‘a great season’ in the championship

Envision Racing’s Nick Cassidy is relishing the chance to prove he is in the mix for the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship title ahead of this weekend’s inaugural Cape Town E-Prix. Early signs would suggest that Cassidy is certainly capable of being in the mix for the Season 9 crown and the weekend offers an opportunity to further prove his title credentials on Saturday. Ad The 28-year-old registered his first podium of the season last time out in Hyderabad and will be looking to go one better this weekend as the all-electric racing series heads to sub-Saharan Africa for the first time in its history.

In fact, the Kiwi’s form has been so strong that he’s recorded just one less point than Season 8 champion Stoffel Vandoorne since winning the 2022 New York City E-Prix in Round 11. Speaking ahead of Saturday’s race, Cassidy admitted he sees himself as a member of the chasing pack for the title this season.

“I think I'd like to be in the fight for the top three and the championship,” he said. “That would be in my eyes a great season. It depends on circumstances, because I think in motorsport, there can always be things outside of your control.

But I think that's our potential. “We have the potential to be in the points every race and so that's ultimately got to be the target. And then we will see in London where we are and if that's true or not.
