Porsche lodges appeal over da Costa’s Misano Formula E disqualification
Da Costa won his first race of the season at the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli in Formula E’s debut visit last weekend, passing Oliver Rowland to secure the victory in a race marked by 19 lead changes over 28 laps. However, his triumph was short-lived as he was later disqualified due to a regulation breach involving an ineligible throttle damper setting on his car. Porsche, Da Costa’s team, decided to appeal the decision within the 96-hour window following the disqualification, aiming to overturn the ruling. Prior to this race, Da Costa had a challenging start to the season with no points in three races before showing improvement in Sao Paulo and Tokyo. Despite the setback, Da Costa remained positive and vowed to continue racing with determination in the upcoming events.
