A sudden illness has thrown a curveball at Nissan’s Formula E title hopes. Oliver Rowland, who has consistently graced the podium throughout the season, is sidelined for the crucial Portland E-Prix double-header.
This unexpected setback forces Rowland, a frontrunner in the championship chase, to prioritize his health. But amidst the disappointment, an opportunity emerges for a new challenger to step into the spotlight.
Enter Caio Collet, Nissan’s reserve driver who has been diligently honing his skills behind the scenes.
This young Brazilian talent boasts an impressive racing pedigree. He’s achieved success in Formula 3 and currently sits a strong third in the Indy NXT championship.
Collet hasn’t been idle while waiting in the wings. He’s been putting in the hard yards, impressing everyone with his talent during rookie test sessions, and meticulously sharpening his skills in the team’s simulator.
As the Portland E-Prix gets underway, all eyes will be on Collet to see if he can fill the void left by Rowland and deliver a strong performance for Nissan.
