Race

Race 2 started at 5:03 PM on 21 July.^[5]

Evans passed Gunther at the race start as his rivals maintained their positions. On lap 6, Wehrlein overtook Gunther and slotted in behind Evans. Cassidy was leading the race at the early stage and had a different Attack Mode strategy than his rivals. He used both of his Attack Mode activations in the opening laps. He managed to maintain the lead in his first activation but lost out to both Evans and Wehrlein in the second activation. Wehrlein continued to pressure Evans for the lead, but could not get past. Evans managed the pace of the race, allowing Cassidy to stay close behind Wehrlein.

On lap 28, while Félix da Costa in the other Porsche was trying to overtake the Nissan of Rowland, the front wing of the Porsche touched the right-rear tyre of Cassidy's Jaguar, causing a puncture. Thus ending Cassidy's contention for the championship. While Cassidy was trying to drive back to the pits, he was rear-ended by Gunther. The Maserati sustained severe damage on the front suspension and was out of the race. Cassidy returned to the race with new tyres, but he came to the pits shortly after to retire the car. With a large amount of debris on track, the safety car was deployed again. Just before the safety car deployment, both Evans and Wehrlein attempted to activate their first Attack Mode. As the safety car has already been deployed, both drivers failed to activate the Attack Mode and was overtaken by Rowland. Most other drivers have completed their usage of Attack Mode by this stage. As soon as the race restarted, Evans and Wehrlein attempted again and succeeded in their first activation. However, Evans missed his second activation and had to try again in the following lap. As a result, Wehrlein inherited the second place and Evans had to manage his pace to complete the Attack Mode usage by the end of the race.

Wehrlein took the title to Evans by 6 points. Jaguar managed to secure the Teams' title. Porsche would have received the Manufacturers' Trophy, but it was handed to Jaguar after Félix da Costa was given a time penalty.
