At race 11 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship through the streets of Brooklyn, the Porsche 99X Electric von Pascal Wehrlein (GER/No. 99) and André Lotterer (GER/No. 36) remained within striking distance of the top most of the time. At the flag, they narrowly missed out on claiming the third podium result of the season after Rome and Valencia: On the street circuit with Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty as a backdrop, they crossed the finish line in positions four and five, thus earning critical championship points as they head to the final events of the season in London (24/25 July) and Berlin (14/15 August).

Race 11: Both Porsche 99X Electric made it into the Super Pole for the first time. Pascal Wehrlein took up the race on the Red Hook Circuit from the fourth grid spot, with his teammate André Lotterer on sixth. The pair made it through the hectic start with a safety car phase in the very first lap unscathed and settled in behind the leading group. In the final laps, they made up positions and joined the pack fighting for podium spots behind the leader: At the flag, less than three seconds separated them from claiming a podium step.
