Formula E's first visit to Cape Town produced one of the series' finest races yet. Antonio da Costa's win, meanwhile, could have been scripted in the stars...⬇️
In 1488, the Portuguese explorer Bartolomeu Dias became the first European to navigate the Cape of Good Hope, the peninsula that protrudes from the land that would later become part of South Africa in the modern era. He named it “The Cape of Storms” before it gained its current moniker later on, and it became a key landmark in early European sea trade to Asia as global exploration by boat later reached its zenith in the 1500s.
Perhaps it’s fitting, then, that on Formula E’s first visit to the bustling trade hub that spawned just to the north, it was another Portugal native who successfully traversed the Cape; from 11th on the grid, Porsche’s Antonio Felix da Costa weathered the storm to clinch his first victory of the season in scintillating fashion.
