Cassidy win secures Formula E team title for Envision
New Zealander Nick Cassidy set aside the disappointment of losing out in the drivers' championship by winning Formula E's season-ending race on Sunday to secure the team title for Envision Racing.
The lights-to-flag win from pole in the rain-delayed all-electric race was his fourth victory of the campaign and came a day after his title hopes disappeared with retirement on the same indoor-outdoor track at the ExCeL Centre.
Cassidy led home compatriot Mitch Evans, for Jaguar, and Britain's new world champion Jake Dennis for Avalanche Andretti.

Dennis ended the season with 229 points to runner-up Cassidy's 199 and Evans on 197.
