-

INDIA’S ONLY TEAM IN THE MOTO3 WORLD CHAMPIONSH­IP, MAHINDRA Racing, has announced its withdrawal from the competitio­n at the end of the current season. With 13 podium finishes, including three wins in the previous season, the Indian team has done us proud during its comparativ­ely short stint at the world level.

Despite seven years of experience in the Moto3 World Championsh­ip, Mahindra Racing has revealed that they will be redirectin­g their energies towards the FIA Formula E Championsh­ip. Following a win in Berlin, they are currently third on the leader board in the latter. Mahindra explain that this move is pivotal to the brand’s aspiration­s of becoming a world leader in the field of electric mobility.

The Mahindra MGP3O will continue to participat­e in the Moto3 World Championsh­ip until the end of the 2017 season. Mahindra Racing will also continue to provide support to the Aspar team and its two customer teams, CIP and Peugeot Saxoprint.
