Portland International Raceway

The Portland International Raceway plays host to the inaugural Southwire Portland E-Prix. The permanent circuit is a familiar stop for American motorsport series such as Indycar, and the layout has a history of providing some close battles. In 1997, the premier American single-seater series saw the closest three-way finish on a road course as Mark Blundell bested Gil de Ferran and Raul Boesel by half a tenth.
