Nick Cassidy signed off his last race for Jaguar TCS Racing in style with a double-win to take second in the FIA Drivers' World Championship after a dominant Round 16 at a packed Excel London, while Porsche sealed both the FIA Teams' and FIA Manufacturers' World Championship titles.
The New Zealander had scored only one point from the first six races of the 2024/25 season, but this win - from lights-to-flag - saw him bag a consecutive hat-trick of victories. That also made it five wins in six for Jaguar TCS Racing on the weekend that both he and Team Principal James Barclay leave the outfit, the latter after overseeing the brand's return to World Championship motorsport and all 127 of their Formula E races to date.
Cassidy crossed the line 13.5 seconds ahead of Mahindra Racing's Nyck de Vries – the second-largest winning margin in Formula E history, and only António Félix da Costa has won three in a row before. Another second spot for de Vries helped Mahindra Racing seal a best Teams' standings finish of fourth since the 2017/18 season.
Sebastien Buemi (Envision Racing) followed up a Jakarta podium with third, up from 19th on the grid at the outset. Jake Dennis (Andretti Formula E Team) came home fourth, with Mitch Evans (Jaguar TCS Racing) following in fifth - a five-second penalty for speeding under Full Course Yellow conditions costing him the second place he'd secured on-track.
Both Nissans had to finish in the top four to have a chance of beating Porsche to the Teams' and Manufacturers' titles, but it wasn't to be despite champion Oliver Rowland attempting to lead the charge. Contact with Nico Mueller on Lap 16 ended both his and the Andretti driver's races. Rowland was on hand though to be crowned Drivers' World Champion and soak up the adulation of a sold-out home crowd, having taken the honours back in Berlin.
That meant Porsche has secured maiden Teams' and Manufacturers' World Championship titles, with Jaguar TCS Racing also beating Nissan to second in both the Teams' and Manufacturers' standings.
