Long Beach - Nelson Piquet Jr has captured the Formula E grand prix race Saturday, 35 years after his father's maiden Formula One victory at the same race venue.
Brazil's Piquet became the sixth winner of the electric car series in as many Formula E races this season, finishing ahead of Andretti driver Jean-Eric Vergne and Audi Sport ABT's Lucas di Grassi.
China Racing's Piquet started third in the grid but was able to grab the lead over polesitter Daniel Abt on turn one.
