LONDON: Virgin Racing, owned by China’s Envision Group and British billionaire Richard Branson and one of the most successful teams in the history of the ABB FIA Formula E Championship, have announced that global automobile giant Audi will be supplying the team with its e-tron FE05 electric cars as per a multi-year agreement.
Having previously developed an in-house powertrain solution and more recently collaborating with DS Automobiles, the Silverstone-based outfit in the city will become an independent team for the upcoming 2018-2019 season.
