The first race was won by Jake Dennis, with Nyck de Vries and Alex Lynn rounding out the podium. Alex Lynn took his maiden Formula E victory in the second race, finishing ahead of Nyck de Vries and Mitch Evans, as original race winner Lucas di Grassi was disqualified for failing to serve a drive-through penalty.
This result left 18 drivers in contention for the World Championship coming into the final two races of the season at Berlin.
