The penultimate round of the season proved to be a dramatic affair, with the race red flagged twice in the closing stages for incidents - Dennis’ chances of claiming the title swinging throughout the 37-lap race.
Having been pushed back after initially starting on the front row alongside main championship rival Nick Cassidy, his title chances were boosted after Cassidy collided with Envision Racing team-mate Sebastien Buemi just before half distance.
But even with Cassidy out, Dennis was still required to finish third with Jaguar’s Mitch Evans winning the first of the weekend’s London E-Prix.
Having survived the two rolling restarts, Dennis finished third on-the-road before being promoted to second which was enough for the title.
“I think nobody expected that race, multiple safety cars, red flags, crashes left, right and centre, and I felt like everything was just thrown at me,” said Dennis.
“So many emotions especially after the first red flag, I just felt like the whole race was just caving in against me for multiple reasons and it was just really hard to control my emotions.
“When I was driving it wasn’t so bad in terms of, I do the typical rant to my engineer, he just takes it on the chin.
“It was really after the red flag I was like, man, everyone is out to get me, [but] we managed to turn it around and keep our composure.”
Dennis’ charge was also thwarted by missing his Attack Mode activation on two occasions which left him at risk from cars behind in the pack.
