Mahindra Racing has developed a very strong relationship with Magneti Marelli over the past few months while developing our powertrain for the next season.” He further added, “We have found a shared ambition in Magneti Marelli and we look forward to the first test of the M3Electro. Mahindra Racing also welcomes Magneti Marelli as a commercial partner and we are proud to display their branding on our car for the last five races of this season and into season three.”

The company currently provides technical support to multiple F1 teams with their energy-recovery systems and has also developed specialized powertrain components for improved efficiency. Associating itself with Mahindra Racing, the manufacturer is looking forward to demonstrating its capabilities in the FIA Formula E championship.
After faltering in the first season of Formula E championship finishing eighth out of ten, Mahindra Racing has shown impressive growth since the beginning of season two raking 61 points in six races. In contrast, the team managed a total of 58 points in the complete first season. The current saw Mahindra Racing achieve a podium finish at the opening Beijing ePrix this season, while both of its cars finished in the top ten in the following four races. The team certainly has more to offer this season, which we will be looking forward to.
