During the second E-Prix in New York this year, Sam Bird came out on top. The Brit won the race from pole position and takes 25 points back home.

Pole and win for Bird!

On the Brooklyn circuit, Jaguar's Sam Bird started from the first spot on the grid. After 45 minutes of racing, he won the race and took over the lead in the championship. The other men on the podium were Nick Cassidy and Antonio Felix Da Costa.

It could've been an even better day for Jaguar if Mitch Evans didn't run into problems late in the race. He drove second for most of the race, but a small touch with the wall in the last laps of the race made sure he dropped out of the points.
