Turvey withdrawn from NYC due to wrist injury
Oliver Turvey will take no further part in the New York City E-Prix after sustaining a wrist injury during a crash in the second free practice session.
The Englishman was on a full power 200kW lap and on course to set the fastest lap at the time but hit the barrier at the exit of the final corner, resulting in a fracture to his wrist.
Turvey missed qualifying as a result and has now been withdrawn from the rest of the weekend.
NIO released a statement on the situation in the lead-up to qualifying.
