The seasoned Jean-Eric Vergne of DS Penske won an action-packed Hyderabad E-Prix on Saturday, marking a successful return of a high-profile motorsport event in India.
The 33-lap electric race had thrills both on and off the track.
The organisers raced against time to get the Hyderadbad Street Circuit ready for Formula E's debut in India but in the end, they pulled off the event amid a lot of fanfare.
Vergne held off a strong challenge from Envison Racing's Nick Cassidy to cross the chequered flag in the first place despite having less than 0.5 percent energy left in the car.
Mahindra Racing, in their first home race, recovered from an ordinary qualifying session earlier in the day to seal a points finish via Oliver Rowland.
