Jake Dennis admits he has been waiting all year long to race in the New York City E-Prix, with the Briton aiming for two strong results around the Brooklyn Street Circuit this weekend.
The BMW i Andretti Motorsport driver comes to the United States on the back of two top five finishes in the Puebla E-Prix three weeks ago, and he currently sits eighth in the 2020-21 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship standings with three rounds and six races remaining.
And Dennis is looking to take the momentum from Puebla into this weekend’s double header in Brooklyn as he bids to bridge the gap between him and those at the top of the championship standings. He currently is only eighteen points behind championship leader Edoardo Mortara.
“I have been looking forward to this event since the race calendar was published,” said Dennis. “I’ve always wanted to go there since I was a kid, but I’d never made it.
“I can hardly wait to see the Statue of Liberty and the Brooklyn Bridge and to race in such a cool part of New York.
