The New Zealander won the first of the two Brooklyn races, following the red flagging of the race as torrential rain enveloped the circuit, which caught Cassidy in an aquaplane moment and sent him into the Turn 6 barrier.
Lucas di Grassi and Stoffel Vandoorne followed Cassidy into the wall, both hitting the stranded Envision car and causing significant damage - requiring a completely new car to be built up for the Kiwi to take to the second race.
