Nissan Formula E driver Oliver Rowland will miss the Portland E-Prix doubleheader this weekend due to illness, and Caio Collet will replace him as the team’s reserve driver. The team’s statement before practice confirmed the news and expressed hopes for Rowland’s swift recovery for the London race next month. Rowland’s absence is a setback for his championship aspirations, as he is currently 36 points behind the leader with only four races left. Collet, a 22-year-old Brazilian, has been with Nissan since the beginning of the season and has experience driving for the team during the Rookie Test after the Berlin E-Prix. In addition to his role with Nissan, Collet is competing in the Indy NXT series where he is currently in third place with four podium finishes, including two second places in the latest round at Laguna Seca.
