Mahindra to be "compensated" for lost track time in Formula E testing
The three-day testing at Circuit Ricardo Tormo in Spain was disrupted after a battery exploded in the garage of battery supplier WAE. Emergency services contained most of the blaze within the WAE garage, but the Mahindra squad’s neighboring garage was also affected. The Mahindra team suffered damage to its IT infrastructure, engineering stations, and both race cars. One of the cars, driven by Nyck de Vries, was put out of action due to water and soot damage. As a result, the team will be compensated for the lost track time with a private session before the opening race in Mexico City. Despite the setback, the team ensured at least one car was back in action for the test in Valencia. Other teams have shown support by offering equipment and assistance, and the test will resume once the FIA completes its investigation.
