‘Track to road’, net zero carbon, fun racing: is Formula E delivering

The 24-year-old was the reserve driver for Indian team Mahindra Racing this year in Formula E alongside his Formula 2 commitments for MP Motorsport. He will be the second Indian after Karun Chandhok — who raced for Mahindra Racing in the first year in 2014-15 — to enter Formula E.

“I am super excited for my first season in Formula E and my first season as a professional racing driver. I think it will be the hardest challenge in my career, and I am looking forward to it,” said Daruvala after securing the drive.

“I learnt a lot on the sidelines last year because Formula E is very different from what I am used to. But now I am looking forward to being a race driver. Everyone thought I would naturally go to Mahindra, but it was huge when I got the opportunity from Maserati MSG Racing. They are a brand with a lot of heritage.”
