Envision Racing

The team was originally founded in 2014 as Virgin Racing, participating as one of the ten founding teams in the inaugural season of the FIA Formula E Championship. During its early years, the team operated as DS Virgin Racing through a partnership with the French manufacturer DS Automobiles, achieving significant success on the track. In 2018, the Chinese renewable energy giant Envision Group acquired a majority stake in the team, rebranding it as Envision Virgin Racing and switching to Audi-supplied powertrains. In 2021, Envision Group completed a full acquisition of the team, dropping the Virgin branding to become Envision Racing. This transition marked a deeper integration with Envision's 'Race Against Climate Change' sustainability program, which utilizes the racing platform to advocate for global carbon neutrality. The team moved its operations to a state-of-the-art carbon-neutral facility at Silverstone Park to further align with its environmental goals. For the Gen3 era of Formula E starting in late 2022, Envision Racing entered a multi-year partnership with Jaguar Land Rover to utilize Jaguar's I-TYPE 6 powertrain. This technical collaboration proved highly effective, leading the team to secure the FIA Formula E Teams' World Championship title in the 2022-2023 season. Today, the team continues to be a frontrunner in the series, focusing on software optimization and energy management as key performance differentiators.
