The Envision Virgin Racing Formula E Team is a British motor racing team based in Silverstone, UK and majority-owned by Envision Energy[1] that competes in Formula E.[2]
The team signed drivers Jaime Alguersuari and Sam Bird for its inaugural season.[3] Bird has competed for Virgin in all subsequent seasons, while the other car has been driven by a variety of different drivers over the years.
Virgin partnered with DS Automobiles from the 2015–16 season[4] to the 2017–18 season, competing as DS Virgin Racing during that time. With DS moving its support to rival team Techeetah from the 2018–19 season onwards, Virgin chose to establish a long-term customer car deal with Audi Sport.[5]
