Due to their weak package in season nine, it was crucial for Mahindra to have a smooth week at the Circuit Ricardo Tormo in Valencia. However, their test was plagued with turbulence, not of their own making. A battery fire in the WAE garage damaged Mahindra’s race equipment and cars, forcing them to move to a new garage. Despite the challenges, Mahindra repaired one car and managed to get it ready for testing. Unfortunately, they couldn’t repair the other car in time. This meant they gathered less data than their rivals and completed the fewest laps in the test. Nevertheless, the car showed improvement on the track, with Mortara setting the sixth-quickest lap. Mahindra now has additional private testing time to make up for the lost data. Mortara is optimistic and confident in the team’s ability to improve the car before the upcoming season in Mexico.
