Antonio Felix da Costa won the Portland E-Prix for the third time in four races, with his victory solidifying his position among the championship contenders. Despite Mitch Evans crossing the finish line first, a penalty relegated him to eighth place due to a collision with Jake Hughes. Evans criticized the penalty, while his teammate Nick Cassidy seemed poised for victory before spinning out of contention on the penultimate lap. The race also saw Oliver Rowland benefit from the misfortunes of his rivals, gaining ground in the championship standings. In the end, da Costa emerged as the first three-time winner of the season, although his title chances remain slim due to a slow start. Cassidy maintains the championship lead, followed by Wehrlein and Evans, with the championship race heating up with three races remaining.
