2014 Beijing ePrix

Nicolas Prost claimed pole position for the race for the e.dams-Renault team{{cite web|url=http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/115842 |title=Beijing Formula E: Nicolas Prost claims pole for inaugural race |publisher=Autosport.com |date=13 September 2014 |access-date=13 September 2014}} and, with the exception of one lap during the pit stops, led the race up until the final corner. That was the moment when Nick Heidfeld had closed the gap to Prost and made an overtaking manoeuvre. Prost hit Heidfeld while they were side to side, sending the German driver into a spin. Heidfeld's car then hit the kerb sideways, and flipped into the barrier. The collision forced both drivers to retire from the race, and Lucas di Grassi went through to claim victory. Montagny finished second, while Daniel Abt was third on track, but was penalised 57 seconds for exceeding "the maximum permitted electrical power during the race," relegating him to tenth position, which promoted Bird to the final place on the podium.{{cite web |url=http://formulaspy.com/news/formula-e-news/daniel-abt-loses-third-place-finish-electrical-transgression-5807 |title=Daniel Abt loses third place finish for electrical transgression |publisher=Formula Spy |date=13 September 2014 |access-date=13 September 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140914022248/http://formulaspy.com/news/formula-e-news/daniel-abt-loses-third-place-finish-electrical-transgression-5807 |archive-date=14 September 2014 |url-status=dead }} Jaime Alguersuari and Katherine Legge also received 57-second penalties: Alguersuari for the same transgression, and Legge for a pit violation.

Despite his retirement, Prost collected three championship points for his pole position, and Takuma Sato, who was also unable to complete the race, gained two points for recording the fastest lap of the race.{{cite web|url=http://www.electricautosport.com/2014/09/lucas-di-grassi-wins-dramatic-first-formula-e-race-beijing/ |title=Lucas di Grassi wins dramatic first Formula E race in Beijing |publisher=Electric Autosport |last=Larkam |first=Lewis |date=13 September 2014 |access-date=13 September 2014}} During the race, three drivers were able to gain benefit from a "fan boost" which gave them an extra 30 kilowatts of power for two five-second stints. The drivers voted to receive this were Bruno Senna, Legge, and Di Grassi. However, none of the drivers actually used the boost of energy during the race, leading the organization to mandate the use for coming races.{{cite web|url=http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/116864 |title=Formula E drivers told FanBoost use compulsory after Beijing issues |publisher=Autosport.com |date=21 November 2014 |access-date=25 November 2014}}
