ThePortland ePrix (known as theSouthwire Portland ePrix thenHankook Portland ePrix for sponsorship reasons) was an annual race of theFIA Formula E World Championship, an all-electric single-seater racing series. The race was held on a very slightly modified version of thePortland International Raceway (PIR) for the first time in 2023, and again in 2024.[1]Nick Cassidy won the inaugural race forEnvision Racing,[2] whileAntónio Félix da Costa andPorsche swept both races the following year.
After construction in the Red Hook area ofBrooklyn caused theNew York City ePrix to be taken off the calendar for 2023, Formula E signed a deal with the City of Portland and PIR in order to keep the American interest in Formula E alive over the stop-gap period in New York. FE co-founder Alberto Longo said that the Portland motorsports fanbase and the city's "ecological credentials" were vital in choosing the city to play host to Formula E.[3] The ePrix was the first of its kind in thePacific Northwest, the first ePrix on the US West Coast since the2015 Long Beach ePrix, and the fourth United States ePrix following Long Beach, NYC, and theMiami ePrix.
The Portland International Raceway was home to the event,[4] and unlike other FE races at permanent circuits such asValencia, there were no major changes to the circuit layout (although the barrier at the entrance to the Shelton Chicane was extended to tighten Turn 1). With the ePrix debuting in 2023, this marked the third auto race held at PIR alongside IndyCar'sGrand Prix of Portland and theNASCAR Xfinity SeriesPacific Office Automation 147.
