Nelson Piquet has won the FIA Formula E Championship, competed for a spot in the Red Bull Global Rallycross Championship, raced in the Indy Lights race car for Carlin and tested IndyCar for the Penska team. To this he will now add the race of champions, RoC. Namely, he will join his compatriot Felipe Massa in the champion's race, which will take place on November XNUMX and XNUMX in London. "It's a great job for me and there's no better way to finish it with a race," says Piquet, who won the Formula E title in London, adding: "I have fond memories of London. I fought for the title in Formula E there, I got it for only one point. I hope it will be a good trip for the championship race as well. "
Moscow was the penultimate stop of the FIA Formula E championship last Saturday and the scene of Nelson Piquet’s second win (Nextev TCR) of the season. With the victory, the Brazilian increased his advantage in the overall standings, the top of which is the same as the result of the Moscow race: Lucas di Grassi (Audi Sport Abt) was second and Sébastien Buemi (e.dams-Renault) third. The latter received a 29-second penalty mark-up after the race and therefore slipped to ninth place in the official standings. Nevertheless, the e.dams-Renault team, with Buemi's ranking and the fastest lap of the race and Prost's eighth place, won so many points that it has a solid advantage in the overall standings before the final races, which will take place in London at the end of the month.

The former UK Grand Prix venue in Brands Hatch has hosted modern Formula 1 race cars for the first time in seven years, as Lotus has organized a filming day. Romain Grosjean, Pastor Maldonado and reserve racer Jolyon Palmer showed off the ride in this year's E23 and the Lotus 72E, driven by Emerson Fittipaldi and Ronnie Peterson between 1973 and 1974. Both race cars were on the track in the afternoon, while Lotus spent most of the morning filming in different parts of the racetrack, in the pits and showing the starts. The team opened a boxing street for fans during lunch. It was the first event at Brands Hatch after Lewis Hamilton drove a demonstration ride in the 2008 DTM with an MP4-23 race car, which he drove the same year.
