Key Information
Career
[edit]Cassidy began his racing career in karting when he was just six years old and remained in karting till 2010. He participated in midget races from the age of eight.[3]
After driving in Formula First championships, Cassidy started racing in the Formula Ford championships in New Zealand and Australia. In 2009, Cassidy was runner-up in the New Zealand Formula First Championship, and in 2010, he was runner-up in the New Zealand Formula Ford Championship. Both times, he was named Rookie of the year.[3]
In 2011, Cassidy began the year for Giles Motorsport, in the Toyota Racing Series. After five podium finishes, he won two of three races on the last race weekend. He was named Rookie of the Year and finished runner-up in the championship to his teammate Mitch Evans.[citation needed]
Cassidy started a few races in the Australian Formula Ford Championship, such as the ADAC Formel Masters and the Formula Abarth. He competed in five races in the Fujitsu V8 Supercar Series. In 2012, Cassidy participated in the Toyota Racing Series again, remaining with Giles Motorsport. In two consecutive weeks of 2018, Cassidy lost final-round title battles in both Super Formula and Super GT, finishing second in both series.[citation needed]
In 2019, Cassidy completed the 'triple crown' in Japanese motorsport by winning the Super Formula title.[4] He made his Formula E debut in the 2020–21 Formula E season for Envision Virgin Racing, replacing Sam Bird.[5] He also made his debut in the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters for a combined entry of AF Corse and Red Bull Racing, replacing Red Bull Racing Reserve Driver Alex Albon in the final round of the 2021 season at the Norisring. He drove Red Bull's Ferrari 488 GT3s for the 2022 season.[6]

Formula E
[edit]Envision Racing (2021–2023)
[edit]
Cassidy began competing in Formula E for the Envision Virgin Racing team starting with the 2020–21 season, partnering Robin Frijns.[7] Having failed to score during the first three races, Cassidy scored his first pole position during a wet-weather session at Rome.[8] However, Cassidy spun out of the lead on the opening lap as a result of a software glitch, before being pushed into the wall and out of the race by Oliver Rowland.[9] He scored points in the following rounds in Valencia and Monaco before achieving his maiden podium at the Puebla ePrix.[10][11] At the next race in New York City Cassidy scored another pole and led the race until the closing laps, when a misjudged move by Jean-Éric Vergne forced the Kiwi down to fourth.[12][13] He returned to the podium on Sunday, though this would be his final podium of the year, as Cassidy finished a chaotic season of Formula E 15th in the standings, 23 points behind champion Nyck de Vries.[14][15]
For the 2021–22 season, Cassidy remained at Envision, once again partnering Frijns.[16][17] The opening half of his season yielded little success for the New Zealander, who only took three points finishes in the first ten races. Just like the previous year, Cassidy qualified on pole pole position for the first race in New York, one he would convert into his first Formula E victory despite being involved in a multi-car pileup thanks to a sudden rain shower late in the race, as the event was aborted and countback rules were applied to the classification.[18][19] He qualified on pole the following day only to be sent to the back of the grid as repairs to his car forced the team to use a fifth radiator of the season, earning Cassidy a 30-place grid penalty.[20] Cassidy finished on the podium at London as a result of a penalty for De Vries and ended the season eleventh in the standings, four positions behind teammate Frijns.[21]
Envision retained Cassidy ahead of the 2022–23 campaign, with him being partnered by Season 2 champion Sébastien Buemi.[22] After two events that earned him points finishes, Cassidy scored back-to-back podiums at Hyderabad and Cape Town before missing out narrowly on victory to Mitch Evans at the São Paulo ePrix.[23][24][25] The Kiwi continued his championship assault in Germany, winning the second race of the Berlin ePrix, narrowing his gap to leader Pascal Wehrlein to four points.[26] At the next round in Monaco, Cassidy charged from his starting spot of tenth to second within the opening seven laps, before executing a pass on title rival Evans to take victory in the principality.[27][28] Cassidy struggled in Jakarta, finishing seventh on Saturday before losing out on points on Sunday after damaging his front wing in a self-inflicted accident with Wehrlein, though he would return to form with a win at Portland, having managed his car's energy well in a pandemonious, peloton-style race.[29][30][31] Rome brought a podium on the opening day for Cassidy, however a crash caused by Evans on Sunday caused Cassidy to finish in a lowly 14th.[32][33] Still with good chances to win the title, Cassidy qualified second for the first London race but was promoted to pole after Evans's penalty for the Rome accident had been applied.[34] During the race, drama ensued: Cassidy, who had been leading the race until his first attack mode activation dropped him back to fourth, became the victim in a teammate collision as miscommunication caused him to rip of his car's front wing, with Buemi, who had been ready to help Cassidy in his title ambitions by letting the Kiwi through, received no communication from his team.[35] As Cassidy retired due to the damage, Jake Dennis managed to take the title on Saturday.[36] A win from pole on a rainy Sunday acted as consolation for Cassidy, who finished the season second in the championship.[37][38]
Jaguar Racing (2024–2025)
[edit]
Cassidy switched to Jaguar TCS Racing on a multi-year contract, replacing Sam Bird and partnering fellow Kiwi driver Mitch Evans for the 2023–24 Formula E season.[39] Having been consistent through the first half of the season, Cassidy scored two victories and six more podiums. He entered the 2024 Portland ePrix with a lead of 25 points over Pascal Wehrlein. Cassidy was leading race 1 of the Portland ePrix until the penultimate lap, where he spun out. He left Portland with no points scored across the two races. A disastrous qualifying in London race 1 and an accident in race two with António Félix da Costa meant Cassidy could only finish the season in third place.
Cassidy left Jaguar following the end of the 2024–25 season.[40]
Citroën (2025–)
[edit]
In September 2025, Cassidy was announced to be joining new team Citroën Racing for the 2025–26 season alongside double champion Jean-Éric Vergne.[41]

Nick Cassidy
View on GrokipediaEarly life and education
Early life
Nick Cassidy was born on 19 August 1994 in Auckland, New Zealand.[6] He grew up in a family with strong ties to motorsport, as his father and uncle were both club racers who inspired his early interest in racing.[7] His father's involvement in local racing particularly encouraged Cassidy to pursue the sport from a young age.[8] Cassidy's first exposure to racing came at age six, when he began competing on local tracks in New Zealand.[9] By age eight, he had progressed to midget racing on speedway-style circuits, further fueling his passion for motorsport.[9]Education and initial racing influences
Nick Cassidy was born and raised in Auckland, New Zealand, where he attended Westlake Boys High School as a teenager, balancing his studies with an intensifying focus on motorsport.[10][7] Cassidy's passion for racing was profoundly shaped by his family, particularly his father, Peter Cassidy, and his uncle, both of whom were active club racers in the New Zealand motorsport scene.[11][7] These familial role models introduced him to the thrill of competition and the intricacies of vehicle preparation from a young age, serving as his primary mentors and inspiring him to pursue a similar path. Peter's enthusiasm for motorsport, including attending races and discussing strategies, played a pivotal role in igniting Cassidy's interest, while the uncle's involvement reinforced the cultural significance of racing within New Zealand's tight-knit motorsport community.[11][8] At the age of six in 2000, Cassidy began karting, often spending hours with his father tinkering on karts to understand engine tuning and chassis adjustments.[12] This initial regimen emphasized practical skills over formal coaching, with family-led sessions at local tracks fostering discipline and technical proficiency. However, in his early teens, Cassidy faced significant challenges, including limited access to high-quality equipment and funding, as the family relied on modest sponsorships and personal resources to sustain his progression through New Zealand's karting circuits.[7] These hurdles tested his resolve but ultimately honed his resourcefulness, with the family's collective efforts enabling him to overcome financial constraints and maintain momentum in his development.[7]Karting career
Domestic karting achievements
Nick Cassidy began his karting career in New Zealand at the age of six, progressing through the junior categories with early success in domestic competitions.[6] In 2003, at age nine, he won the North Island Sprint Championship and NZ Top Half Series in the Cadet class.[13] The following year, in the Cadet class, he secured the national title at the 2004 Kartsport NZ National Sprint Championship held in Auckland, marking a major domestic victory in the sport's entry-level category for young drivers.[14] This win highlighted his potential in age-restricted classes using 100cc Yamaha engines, typically raced on tracks like those at KartSport Auckland.[15] Advancing to the Junior Restricted category, Cassidy continued his dominance in regional and national events. In 2005, he claimed first place in the NZ North Island Sprint Kart Championship in the Junior Restricted class, competing on circuits across the North Island, and finished second in the NZ Top Half Series. The following year, 2006, saw him win the Kartsport NZ National Sprint Championship in the 100cc Junior Restricted class, solidifying his status as a top junior karter. These achievements came while affiliated with local teams supporting his development in Yamaha-powered karts, emphasizing his skill in sprint formats that tested acceleration and handling on technical tracks.[14] Beyond national titles, Cassidy amassed multiple club-level successes, including four class titles in North Island championship meetings and four in the CIK Trophy of New Zealand events through the late 2000s.[15] These regional victories, often in Junior Yamaha or Formula Junior classes, provided consistent racing experience and contributed to his progression toward senior karting by 2010. By age 14, he had won nearly every available North Island karting event, establishing a strong foundation in domestic competition before transitioning to single-seaters.[16]International karting forays
Cassidy's first significant international karting experience came in 2008, when, at the age of 14, he represented New Zealand at the Rotax Max Challenge Grand Finals held at the La Conca circuit in Muro Leccese, Italy. This prestigious event gathered top junior karters from around the world, providing Cassidy with exposure to high-level global competition beyond his domestic successes. In the Junior Max category, Cassidy demonstrated competitive pace by qualifying 11th overall in the preliminary sessions.[17] He ultimately finished the Grand Finals in 11th position, a solid result that highlighted his potential against international rivals despite the challenges of adapting to a new track layout and varying weather conditions typical of European autumn racing. The long-distance travel from New Zealand to Italy, spanning over 19,000 kilometers, underscored the logistical demands of overseas competition for young drivers from remote regions. This outing marked Cassidy's primary foray into international karting, as subsequent years saw him balancing karting with the onset of single-seater racing. By 2010, following his final major karting commitments, Cassidy fully transitioned to junior formulas, leveraging the global experience gained from the Rotax event as a foundation for his career progression.New Zealand and Australian junior formulas
Formula Ford career
Nick Cassidy transitioned to single-seater racing in 2010 by entering the New Zealand Formula Ford Championship, building on his extensive karting experience that had honed his racing fundamentals since age six.[9] In his debut season, driving a privateer entry, he finished as runner-up overall behind Martin Short, securing three race victories and earning Rookie of the Year honors.[18][19] A standout performance came during the opening round at Pukekohe Park Raceway, where Cassidy claimed pole position and dominated all three races, demonstrating immediate adaptability to the Formula Ford's open-wheel design, which features exposed wheels and emphasizes precise car control at higher speeds compared to karts.[12] His karting background provided a strong foundation in chassis feedback and cornering technique, aiding the shift to the series' 1600cc Ford engine-powered cars that demand greater management of aerodynamics and tire wear.[9] That year, Cassidy also made his Australian Formula Ford Championship debut as the youngest driver in the field, contesting a round at Townsville with Evans Motorsport and achieving a podium finish en route to 15th in the standings.[20][21] In 2011, Cassidy continued in the Australian Formula Ford Championship with a Mygale SJ11a, competing in 22 races and finishing 14th overall, with consistent results that showcased his growing proficiency and paved the way for advancement to more competitive series.[13]Toyota Racing Series
Cassidy made his debut in the Toyota Racing Series (TRS) in 2011, a prominent off-season single-seater championship held in New Zealand that utilizes identical Tatuus FT-50 chassis powered by Toyota engines and serves as a key development pathway for emerging international talent aiming for European Formula 3 and beyond. Competing with the established Giles Motorsport team after success in Formula Ford, the 16-year-old New Zealander impressed as the top rookie, securing five podium finishes and clinching a round victory at Taupō International Speedway with wins in the final two races of the season to finish runner-up in the standings with 805 points behind champion Mitch Evans.[9][22] Returning to Giles Motorsport for the 2012 edition, Cassidy dominated the 15-race calendar across circuits including Teretonga, Timaru, Taupō, Hampton Downs, and Manfeild, capturing the championship with 914 points—over 170 ahead of runner-up Hannes van Asseldonk.[23] His campaign featured multiple victories, including an early-season win from outside the lead group at Mike Pero Motorsport Park in Timaru, along with several pole positions that underscored his qualifying prowess and consistency in the competitive field blending local and overseas drivers.[24] In 2013, Cassidy switched to M2 Competition and defended his title amid fierce competition from British driver Alex Lynn and Austrian Lucas Auer, who between them claimed most race wins but faltered due to penalties and inconsistencies.[25] Despite securing only three victories—highlighted by a strategic drive in race two at Highlands Motorsport Park and a dominant performance at Hampton Downs—Cassidy's seven podiums and reliable points hauls propelled him to the championship with 915 points, over 100 clear of second-placed Lynn and marking back-to-back triumphs in the series.[26][13]New Zealand Grand Prix
Nick Cassidy achieved a remarkable hat-trick of victories in the New Zealand Grand Prix, winning the prestigious national open-wheel event in 2012, 2013, and 2014, becoming only the second driver to secure three consecutive triumphs after Craig Baird from 1991 to 1993.[27] The race, recognized as New Zealand's premier motorsport event with a history dating back to 1950, drew significant media attention for Cassidy's dominance, highlighting his emergence as a top talent in single-seater racing.[27] All three wins occurred at Manfeild Circuit, where the 35-lap race tested drivers on the 2.0 km track's technical layout featuring high-speed straights and tight corners.[28][29][30] In 2012, at age 17, Cassidy claimed his first victory driving a Tatuus-Toyota FT-50 for Giles Motorsport, leading the race after rivals encountered mechanical issues, including an electrical failure for polesitter Mitch Evans with seven laps remaining.[31] This win not only secured the Grand Prix but also clinched the Toyota Racing Series championship for him on the same weekend.[28] The following year, 2013, Cassidy defended his title with M2 Competition in another Tatuus-Toyota, starting second on the grid and executing a flawless launch to overtake teammate Alex Lynn at the first corner, leading every lap of the 35-lap race under fine weather conditions.[29] He set the fastest lap time of 1:03.472, marking him as the youngest driver to win the event twice and underscoring his strategic prowess amid incidents that eliminated several competitors.[32][33] Cassidy's 2014 triumph completed the hat-trick, again at Manfeild, this time with Neale Motorsport in a Tatuus-Toyota, where he managed a "perfect" car setup despite earlier weekend challenges like overheating and a broken axle.[27] He pulled away to victory ahead of Jann Mardenborough and Andrew Tang, though a late yellow flag prevented him from setting a new lap record.[27] These successes across three different teams amplified the event's prestige, positioning Cassidy as a national hero and propelling his career toward European series, with media outlets praising his consistency in the high-stakes race known for launching international careers.[34][27]European single-seater progression
Formula Renault 2.0 Eurocup
Nick Cassidy began his European single-seater career in the Formula Renault 2.0 Eurocup in 2012 with Fortec Motorsports. Limited by funding, he competed in only the first three rounds, retiring in Race 1 at Motorland Aragon but securing a best race finish of 6th in Race 2 there and ending the season 24th overall with 8 points. In 2013, Cassidy joined AV Formula for a partial campaign, contesting two races across the season. Despite not scoring points, the experience helped him adapt to the competitive European field and varied track conditions, including wet weather challenges common in the series.[13][35] Cassidy's most consistent Eurocup season came in 2014 with Koiranen GP, where he participated in ten races and achieved multiple top-5 finishes, including a podium. He concluded the year 18th in the drivers' standings with 20 points, demonstrating improved pace amid the logistical demands of traveling across Europe from his New Zealand base.[13][36][37]FIA Formula 3 European Championship
Cassidy entered the FIA Formula 3 European Championship in 2013 following his experience in the Formula Renault 2.0 Eurocup, contesting a partial schedule of six races as a guest driver (three with EuroInternational and three with Carlin) and demonstrating strong pace without securing podiums.[38] In 2014, he switched to ThreeBond with T-Sport for the final two rounds, participating in six races as a guest driver (ineligible for points), with a best finish of 11th despite the abbreviated campaign.[13][39][40] Cassidy's 2015 season was also partial, limited to six races with Prema Powerteam, where he earned two podium finishes and ended 16th overall, marking an improvement in consistency.[13][41] He completed his stint with a full 2016 campaign alongside Prema Powerteam in the Dallara F314 chassis powered by Mercedes, achieving one race victory at Circuit Zandvoort, eight podiums (including the win), one pole position, and one fastest lap across 30 starts to claim fourth in the championship standings.[13][42][43][44] Throughout his time in the series, Cassidy's progression from guest appearances to a competitive full-season role with Prema involved key team changes and intense on-track battles, notably with teammate Lance Stroll, who secured the title that year.[43]Macau Grand Prix
Cassidy first contested the Macau Grand Prix in 2014 as part of his guest appearances in the FIA Formula 3 European Championship with the Japanese team ThreeBond with T-Sport.[45] The event, held on the notoriously unforgiving 6.12 km Guia Circuit—a narrow, wall-lined street track that tests drivers' precision and bravery—saw Cassidy qualify seventh fastest.[46] In the qualification race, he recovered from an early setback to finish fifth, setting him up on the fourth row for the main event.[47] During the 15-lap main race, Cassidy ran as high as second, pressuring race-winner Felix Rosenqvist before being overtaken by Lucas Auer in the closing stages, securing a breakthrough third-place finish as the top rookie.[48] He later reflected on a tense moment when he brushed the barriers near the end but managed to hold on without losing significant time.[49] Returning in 2015 with TOM'S, Cassidy endured a tougher weekend amid mechanical issues and on-track incidents that hampered his pace. Qualifying 24th after struggling in practice, he advanced to 17th in the qualification race before clawing back to 12th in the main event, though a series of misfortunes prevented a higher finish.[50][51] In 2016, now with SJM Theodore Racing by Prema Powerteam, Cassidy showcased strong one-lap speed by qualifying eighth on the slippery Guia surface, where multiple red flags from crashes disrupted the session.[46] He held 11th in the qualification race but encountered challenges in the main event, retiring after an off-track excursion at the Faraway corner amid the race's intense battles and safety car interruptions.[52][53]Japanese racing career

In 2015, following a competitive campaign in the FIA Formula 3 European Championship, Nick Cassidy entered the Japanese Formula 3 Championship as a rookie with the Toyota-backed Petronas Team TOM'S, driving a Dallara F314 chassis powered by a Toyota engine.[54] The 20-year-old New Zealander, new to the demanding Japanese circuits, rapidly adapted to tracks like Suzuka and Motegi, leveraging his prior European experience to build an early points advantage over established local drivers.[55] His quick acclimatization was evident in consistent qualifying performances and race pace, helping him navigate the series' tight fields and variable weather conditions at venues such as Fuji Speedway and Okayama International Circuit.[56] The Japanese Formula 3 Championship that year consisted of nine championship rounds held across prominent Japanese circuits, structured as double-header events with each race typically lasting around 20 minutes plus one lap, awarding points to the top 10 finishers based on a descending scale.[57] Unlike some prior seasons, 2015 featured no dedicated non-championship rounds, focusing entirely on the title fight with support from the Super Formula calendar. Cassidy dominated the season, securing seven victories out of 17 races, including sweeps at Okayama, Fuji, Motegi, and the season finale at Sportsland SUGO.[57][56][58] Facing stiff competition from teammate Kenta Yamashita, who claimed five wins, Cassidy maintained a commanding lead throughout, entering the final round with a 16-point advantage.[57] He sealed the title decisively by winning both races at SUGO, finishing the season with 129 points—16 ahead of Yamashita and well clear of third-placed Mitsunori Takaboshi on 92 points—while achieving 16 top-five finishes and no results outside the top 10.[59][57] This dominant performance, marked by seven poles and multiple fastest laps, showcased Cassidy's versatility on diverse track layouts and elevated his profile within Toyota's junior program.[60] The championship triumph provided a crucial stepping stone for Cassidy's career progression in Japan, directly facilitating his securing of a full-time seat with TOM'S in Super Formula starting in 2017 after a return stint in European F3.[61]Super Formula
Nick Cassidy entered Super Formula in 2017 following his 2015 Japanese Formula 3 title, but it was in 2018 that he established himself as a title contender. Driving for Kondo Racing in the Dallara SF14 chassis powered by a Toyota 2.0-liter turbocharged V8 engine and fitted with Yokohama tires, Cassidy secured his maiden victory at Fuji Speedway in July, leading from pole position after a strong qualifying performance. He achieved four podium finishes across the seven-round season, including runner-up results at Motegi and Twin Ring Motegi, but narrowly missed the championship after finishing second to Naoki Yamamoto by just 0.654 seconds in the decisive Suzuka finale. His consistent results earned him second place in the drivers' standings with 37 points, marking him as a standout international driver in a series dominated by Japanese talent.[62][63][13] In 2019, Cassidy moved to the factory-backed Vantelin Team TOM'S, piloting the newly introduced Dallara SF19 chassis with the same Toyota powertrain and Yokohama rubber, which featured improved aerodynamics and a more powerful engine producing around 550 horsepower. The season highlighted the integration of international drivers like Cassidy and Sergio Sette Camara into the grid, bringing diverse racing styles to compete against established Japanese stars such as Kamui Kobayashi and Naoki Yamamoto in intense on-track rivalries. Cassidy claimed victory in the chaotic season opener at Suzuka, starting 12th and capitalizing on incidents and strategic tire management to overtake leaders mid-race. He followed with consistent podiums, including second places at Autopolis and Sugo, and third at Fuji, accumulating 36 points despite only one win due to the series' tight competition and frequent safety car interventions. These performances clinched the drivers' championship for Cassidy at the Suzuka finale, where he finished second behind Tomoki Nojiri, becoming the first non-Japanese champion in Super Formula history and completing a "triple crown" of Japanese motorsport titles alongside his prior successes.[64][65][13][66]Super GT
Nick Cassidy transitioned from single-seater racing to the team-oriented GT format of Super GT in 2017, joining the prestigious GT500 class with Lexus Team KeePer TOM'S in the Lexus LC500. This move allowed him to adapt to endurance-style events and shared driving duties, contrasting the individual focus of series like Japanese Formula 3. Partnering with fellow TOM'S protégé Ryo Hirakawa, Cassidy benefited from a balanced dynamic where both drivers, aged 22 and 21 respectively, alternated stints in races ranging from 250 km sprints to the 1000 km endurance round, emphasizing strategy, reliability, and teamwork over outright pace.[19] In his debut 2017 season, Cassidy and Hirakawa clinched the GT500 drivers' and teams' championships, securing victory in the opening round at Okayama International Circuit where Cassidy led much of his stint. Their consistent podium finishes across the eight-round calendar, including a strong performance at the Suzuka 1000 km endurance race, culminated in clinching the title with a second-place finish in the Motegi finale, securing the championship by 2 points over the Nissan NISMO duo of Tsugio Matsuda and Ronnie Quintarelli. At 23 years old, Cassidy became one of the youngest GT500 champions in Super GT history, highlighting his rapid adjustment to the class's high-speed prototypes and tactical elements.[67][68] Remaining with the same team and partner for 2018, Cassidy and Hirakawa mounted a title challenge, finishing runner-up in the GT500 standings after a season of podiums, including third place at the Suzuka GT 300 km. They entered the Motegi finale with a mathematical shot at the crown but were edged out by the Honda Raybrig NSX-GT of Daisuke Ito and Jenson Button, despite strong qualifying and race pace. The year underscored Cassidy's growing synergy with Hirakawa, as the pair maximized the Lexus's handling in mixed conditions across sprint and endurance formats.[69][68] Cassidy's 2019 Super GT campaign again ended in second place in GT500, with the duo scoring four podiums and a victory at the Motegi season finale that kept their title hopes alive until the end. They also triumphed in the non-championship Fuji Super GT x DTM Dream Race, a special lights-to-flag win in GT500-spec cars against international DTM competitors, showcasing Cassidy's versatility in a hybrid event blending the series' endurance ethos. Balancing this with his concurrent Super Formula commitments, Cassidy's three-year GT stint solidified his reputation in Japan's premier touring car series through reliable performances and adaptive driving.[70][71][72]European and American sportscar racing
Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters
Nick Cassidy made his debut in the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters (DTM) in 2021, joining the Red Bull AlphaTauri AF Corse team in a Ferrari 488 GT3 Evo for the season finale at the Norisring, replacing Alex Albon. Competing in two races, he scored points with a fifth-place finish in the first race, contributing to his teammate Liam Lawson's drivers' title charge, and ended the season 16th overall with 11 points. This limited appearance came amid Cassidy's transition from Japanese racing series, where his Super GT experience with GT3 machinery provided valuable preparation for the DTM's GT3-based format introduced that year.[73][74] In 2022, Cassidy expanded his DTM commitment with the same Red Bull AlphaTauri AF Corse squad, contesting 11 of the 16 rounds while balancing duties in Formula E, which led to substitutions like Ayhancan Güven at the Norisring. He secured his first DTM victory in the second race at Spa-Francorchamps, fending off Sheldon van der Linde after a intense battle, followed by a dominant lights-to-flag win in the opening race at the Red Bull Ring despite carrying success ballast. These triumphs, combined with consistent top-10 finishes, propelled him to 13th in the drivers' standings with 64 points, marking a strong adaptation to the series' demanding GT3 cars and European circuits after years based in Japan. The car's handling required adjustments to the DTM's Balance of Performance regulations, presenting challenges in variable weather and close-quarters racing, but Cassidy's pace highlighted his versatility.[75][76][77][78] Cassidy's multi-year contract with Red Bull in DTM emphasized his role as a key talent bridging single-seaters and GT racing, but overlapping Formula E obligations limited his full-season participation and ultimately led to his departure after 2022 to focus exclusively on the electric series with Envision Racing. The DTM's shift to GT3 regulations in 2021 revitalized the championship with closer competition among manufacturers like Ferrari, BMW, and Audi, though Cassidy noted the physical and strategic demands of returning to European time zones and high-stakes sprint formats as ongoing hurdles.[79][80]IMSA SportsCar Championship
Cassidy made his sole appearance in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship at the 2019 Rolex 24 at Daytona, driving the No. 14 Lexus RC F GT3 for AIM Vasser Sullivan in the GTD class.[81] He shared the entry with co-drivers Jack Hawksworth, Richard Heistand, and Austin Cindric, with the team qualifying 14th in class but starting 13th after adjustments.[82] The quartet delivered a strong debut for the newly formed AIM Vasser Sullivan squad, navigating challenging conditions including heavy rain that led to two red flags during the event.[82] Cassidy, in his first outing at Daytona International Speedway, adapted quickly to the hybrid road course-oval layout, describing the banking as "cool" but the track overall as "simple" compared to circuits he knew from single-seaters.[83] He noted the Lexus RC F GT3's user-friendly nature, which emphasized tire feel over aerodynamics—contrasting with the higher-downforce GT500 cars he raced in Super GT—allowing for consistent stints amid heavy prototype traffic.[83] Night racing proved particularly demanding due to depth perception issues and lights in mirrors, managed through spotter radio support unfamiliar to Cassidy from his European and Japanese racing background.[83] Team dynamics played a key role in the performance, with Hawksworth providing guidance on transitioning from open-wheel machinery to the GT3 format, leveraging his prior IMSA experience.[83] The car crossed the line sixth in GTD, securing 22nd overall after 561 laps.[84] This one-off endurance test aligned with Cassidy's winter schedule, fitting between his Japanese commitments without conflicting with future Formula E obligations that began the following season.[13]Formula E career
Envision Racing (2021–2023)
Nick Cassidy made his Formula E debut with Envision Virgin Racing in the 2020–21 season, partnering Robin Frijns in the Audi-powered Gen2 car. He scored points in his first race in Santiago with a ninth-place finish and achieved his maiden pole position in the wet qualifying for the second Rome E-Prix, though he finished fifth after a strong start.[85] Cassidy secured his first podiums later in the season with third places in Mexico City and Diriyah, contributing to a solid rookie campaign that ended with 76 points and 15th in the drivers' standings.[6] His prior experience in the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters helped adapt to the series' close-quarters racing and energy management demands.[86] In the 2021–22 season, Cassidy improved markedly, claiming his first victory in the inaugural Jakarta E-Prix when the race was red-flagged and results taken from the lap before, fending off Lucas di Grassi. He added a podium in Berlin, showcasing strong attack mode activations to gain positions during overtakes, and ended the year eighth overall with 113 points as Envision finished third in the teams' championship.[87] Cassidy's qualifying prowess shone through with multiple top-five starts, emphasizing his ability to extract maximum performance from the Gen2 car's powertrain in duels. Cassidy's breakthrough came in the 2022–23 season, where he became Envision's lead driver and mounted a title challenge in the final Gen2 year. He won four races, including dominant performances in Hyderabad—his first from pole—and Cape Town, where strategic energy deployment and timely attack mode use allowed him to pull away from the field. Further victories in Monaco and the second Jakarta race highlighted his consistency, with 10 podiums overall and a runners-up finish on 199 points, just 30 behind champion Jake Dennis.[88] Cassidy set multiple qualifying records for the team, including fastest laps in challenging conditions, underscoring Envision's competitive edge before the Gen3 transition.Jaguar TCS Racing (2024–2025)
Nick Cassidy transitioned to Jaguar TCS Racing for the 2023–24 season (Season 10), partnering with fellow New Zealander and childhood friend Mitch Evans to form an all-Kiwi lineup aimed at challenging for the drivers' and teams' titles. Building on his strong foundation at Envision Racing, where he had secured multiple podiums and a near-title contention, Cassidy adapted quickly to the Jaguar I-Type 6, the team's Gen3-era car featuring advanced front and rear powertrains that enabled up to 600kW of regenerative braking for enhanced energy efficiency. He claimed his first victory for the team in the Diriyah E-Prix Race 2, starting from pole and leading comfortably to take the win, which propelled him to the top of the drivers' standings early in the season. Cassidy added a second triumph in the Berlin E-Prix, staging a remarkable recovery from 21st on the grid through strategic energy management and overtakes, finishing the season third overall with 176 points while contributing to Jaguar's teams' championship victory—their first since 1991.[89][90][91] The duo's partnership emphasized collaborative strategies during dual-driver title pursuits, with Evans and Cassidy frequently supporting each other through data sharing and tactical decisions, such as energy allocation in close races, to maximize team points. In Season 11 (2024–25), Cassidy elevated his performance, securing four wins aboard the refined I-Type 6, which benefited from Gen3 efficiencies recapturing around 40% of expended energy via bidirectional charging. Notable victories included a dominant pole-to-flag performance in the Shanghai E-Prix and a charge from 20th to first in Berlin Race 2, showcasing the car's improved power deployment and braking regeneration. He also swept the London double-header finale, converting pole in Race 16 and starting from fifth in Race 15, ending his Jaguar tenure on a high note. These results helped Cassidy finish runner-up in the drivers' standings with 153 points, just 31 behind champion Oliver Rowland, while Jaguar again contended strongly in the teams' battle.[92][93][94][95][96][97][98] Cassidy's time at Jaguar coincided with Formula E's broader media expansion, as the series' global fanbase grew 13% to 422 million by the end of Season 11, driven by increased digital engagement and high-profile events like the Tokyo and Monaco E-Prixes. His consistent podium finishes and race wins amplified Jaguar's visibility, fostering a dedicated following among electric motorsport enthusiasts and highlighting the team's role in advancing sustainable racing technology.[99]Citroën Racing (2025–present)
In September 2025, Citroën Racing announced that Nick Cassidy would join the team for the 2025/26 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship (Season 12), partnering with double champion Jean-Éric Vergne to form a highly experienced driver lineup.[100] This move marked Cassidy's transition from Jaguar TCS Racing, where he finished as runner-up in the drivers' standings during the 2024/25 season.[101] The signing leverages Cassidy's proven track record in Formula E, including 11 victories and 25 podiums, to bolster Citroën's debut as a factory team in the series.[102] Citroën Racing, a division of the Stellantis group, enters Formula E with a strong technical foundation drawn from its storied history in the World Rally Championship (WRC), where it secured 8 manufacturers' titles and 10 drivers' championships between 2003 and 2012.[103] The team replaces the outgoing Maserati MSG operation and operates under Team Principal Cyril Blais, utilizing the Gen3 Evo chassis provided by Spark Racing Technology, rebranded as the Citroën ë-C4 single-seater.[103] This setup benefits from over 11 years of Stellantis Motorsport's involvement in Formula E, focusing on electric powertrain innovation, energy recovery systems, and sustainable mobility technologies honed through rally expertise.[103] The car's specifications include dual motors delivering up to 350 kW of power, a 47 kWh battery, and advanced regenerative braking capable of recovering 600 kW, enabling acceleration from 0-100 km/h in 1.86 seconds and a top speed approaching 320 km/h.[103] Preparatory efforts culminated in the official pre-season testing at Circuit Ricardo Tormo in Valencia from October 27 to 31, 2025, where the team completed extensive runs totaling over 2,000 kilometers to validate systems, simulate race scenarios, and optimize energy management.[104] Cassidy recorded a best lap time placing him 10th overall, just 0.184 seconds off the pace set by Porsche's Pascal Wehrlein, reflecting a solid integration into the team's setup during its inaugural sessions.[105] Citroën Racing has set ambitious targets for Season 12, aiming to contend for podiums, victories, and ultimately the drivers' and teams' championships while advancing electric vehicle performance in line with the brand's commitment to innovative, responsible motorsport.[103] The contract covers the 2025/26 campaign, positioning the team for potential long-term growth in the series.[100] In Round 2 of the season, the Mexico City E-Prix, Cassidy secured victory for Citroën from 13th on the grid, marking the team's first win in Formula E. Pole-sitter Sébastien Buemi lost the lead early after erring at Turn 1, and a safety car was deployed following an incident involving Nyck de Vries. Cassidy held off challenges from Edoardo Mortara in second and Oliver Rowland in third to claim the win.[5]Future commitments and other racing
FIA World Endurance Championship with Peugeot
In September 2025, Peugeot Sport announced that Nick Cassidy had signed a full-time contract to race in the FIA World Endurance Championship's Hypercar class for the 2026 season, driving the Peugeot 9X8 alongside the Team Peugeot TotalEnergies squad.[106] The New Zealander, coming from a strong background in single-seater racing including Formula E, described the move as a "dream" opportunity to compete in endurance racing with a prestigious manufacturer.[107] This signing marked Peugeot's strategy to bolster its Hypercar program with drivers experienced in high-level open-wheel competition, building on Cassidy's prior sportscar exposure in series like the IMSA SportsCar Championship and Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters.[4] Cassidy joins a revamped six-driver lineup for the two-car team, which retains Loïc Duval, Malthe Jakobsen, and Paul di Resta, while adding Théo Pourchaire and reinstating Stoffel Vandoorne to replace departing drivers Mikkel Jensen and Jean-Éric Vergne.[108] Specific car assignments for 2026 have yet to be finalized, but Cassidy's role will involve sharing driving duties in one of the Peugeot 9X8 entries across the season's eight rounds, emphasizing teamwork in long-stint endurance events.[109] The calendar consists of the Qatar 1812 km (26–28 March), 6 Hours of Imola (17–19 April), 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps (7–9 May), 24 Hours of Le Mans (10–14 June), 6 Hours of São Paulo (10–12 July), Lone Star Le Mans at Circuit of the Americas (4–6 September), 6 Hours of Fuji (25–27 September), and 8 Hours of Bahrain (5–7 November), with particular focus on preparing for the iconic 24 Hours of Le Mans through pre-season testing, simulator sessions, and aerodynamic development to optimize the 9X8's performance in varied conditions.[110][111] To manage his dual commitments, Cassidy will balance the WEC schedule with his continued participation in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship for Citroën Racing in the 2025/26 season (Season 12), leveraging synergies within the Stellantis group—Peugeot's parent company—which owns both brands and facilitates calendar coordination to avoid direct clashes.[2] This arrangement allows him to maintain his single-seater sharpness while adapting to the endurance format, with initial Hypercar familiarization already underway through garage support roles and post-season tests in 2025.[112]Additional racing appearances and tests
In early 2020, Cassidy made guest appearances in the Asian Le Mans Series with Eurasia Motorsport in the LMP2 class, competing in three races and securing pole position at the Shanghai round before finishing ninth in the drivers' standings.[113][13] In September 2025, Cassidy supported Peugeot Sport TotalEnergies during the FIA World Endurance Championship's Lone Star Le Mans at Circuit of the Americas, followed by a post-race shakedown test of the 9X8 Hypercar where he gained initial mileage in the prototype.[106][114] During the FIA World Endurance Championship's post-season rookie test at Bahrain International Circuit on November 4-5, 2025, Cassidy made his official debut laps with Peugeot in the 9X8, sharing driving duties and completing 59 laps across two cars to post the third-fastest individual time of 1:49.376.[115][116] In late October 2025, Cassidy joined Citroën Racing for its inaugural Formula E pre-season test at the Circuit Ricardo Tormo in Valencia, where he expressed satisfaction with the team's setup and his integration into the squad alongside Jean-Éric Vergne.[104][117]Racing records
