Mahindra Racing Creates Formula E History With Best-Ever Season Finish

Mahindra Racing has ended its Formula E Season 12 campaign on a high note, securing third place in the Teams’ Championship after a dramatic double-header finale in London. The result marks a major achievement for the Indian manufacturer’s racing programme, which delivered its strongest season in terms of points and its best championship finish in ten years.

Heading into the final two races of the season, the competition for the top positions remained intense. Mahindra Racing arrived in London just one point behind third place in the Teams’ Standings, leaving little room for mistakes. With only the final double-header remaining, every qualifying position, race result and championship point carried significant importance.

The London finale also had added significance for Mahindra Racing because the opening race of the double-header took place on India’s Independence Day. The timing provided an additional sense of occasion for the Indian team as it entered the final stage of a season that had already developed into one of its most successful Formula E campaigns.

Drivers Nyck de Vries and Edoardo Mortara were central to the team's push for third place. Both had the opportunity to make a decisive contribution as Mahindra Racing battled to finish the season among the leading teams.

The weekend quickly developed into a memorable one. Mahindra Racing achieved a front-row lockout, putting both of its cars at the sharp end of the starting grid. The qualifying performance immediately strengthened the team's position in the championship fight and gave its drivers an important platform for the races ahead.

The momentum continued when the team converted its strong starting position into a double podium finish. Having both drivers finish on the podium represented a significant result for Mahindra Racing and provided the points needed to settle the battle for third place in its favour.

By the end of the London finale, Mahindra Racing had accumulated 252 points during the season. That figure represents the highest points total the team has achieved in a Formula E season. More importantly, the result delivered third place in the Teams’ Championship, making it the team's best finish in the championship in a decade.

The achievement highlights the progress made by Mahindra Racing in the electric single-seater championship. Rather than simply ending the campaign with a strong individual race result, the team finished the season with a championship position that reflects its performance across the campaign.

The London double-header therefore became more than just the final races on the calendar. It served as the decisive stage in Mahindra Racing's fight for a place among the top three teams. Entering the finale only one point away from P3, the team needed a strong weekend, and the combination of a front-row lockout and two podium finishes provided exactly the kind of result required.

For Nyck de Vries and Edoardo Mortara, the final weekend also offered an opportunity to close the season with standout performances. Their double podium helped transform Mahindra Racing's championship ambitions into a concrete result and gave the team a memorable conclusion to its Season 12 campaign.

The result is particularly notable because of the broader significance Formula E holds for electric vehicle technology and motorsport. As an all-electric racing championship, Formula E provides manufacturers with a competitive environment in which electric performance and racing development take centre stage. Mahindra's progress within the championship consequently represents an important chapter in its motorsport journey.

The 252-point tally will now stand as a new benchmark for Mahindra Racing in Formula E. The team's third-place championship finish also provides a clear measure of how far it has progressed compared with its previous campaigns.

The London E-Prix finale delivered everything Mahindra Racing needed: a strong qualifying performance, podium success for both drivers and enough points to move into third place in the Teams’ Championship.

With Season 12 now complete, Mahindra Racing can look back on a campaign that produced its highest-ever points tally and its strongest Teams’ Championship result in a decade. The dramatic London finish has added another significant milestone to the team's Formula E story and established a new benchmark for its future campaigns.
