The circuit – Portland E-Prix
The Portland International Raceway hosted many motorsport events, from NASCAR Truck Series to Indycar. The circuit is 3,190 kilometers long and has one of the longest tracks ever experienced by Formula E. The layout used during the E-Prix will be slightly different from the Indycar’s one, with FIA choosing to add 20 meters.

- DS Penske – 139
