Mahindra Racing’s Nick Heidfeld had the honour of taking the team’s Season 4 challenger, the M4Electro, out for its first few laps in testing in Spain yesterday.

In total, the car achieved 90 laps, the equivalent of two race distances, with a single longest run of eight laps.

Mahindra CEO and Team Principal Dilbagh Gill, said: “With a steep learning curve before the start of the fourth Formula E Season, the Mahindra passioneers are looking forward to the challenge of developing the M4Electro alongside the energetic M3Electro, which has already made her presence felt in the class of Season 3.”

Mahindra has enjoyed a strong start to this season, with one Julius Baer Pole Position, two podiums and two Visa Fastest Laps out of just three races.

This makes Mahindra Racing the first team to publicly reveal its Season 4 car, with an official launch expected in the coming months.
