The collaboration between Abt Sportsline and its FormulaE powertrain supplier Mahindra Racing is so strong that Thomas Biermaier feels they are effectively operating a single four-car team
Having previously raced in FE from the inception of the championship till the end of season 7, initially with support from Audi before morphing into a full works team, Abt is returning to the all-electric series next year with customer powertrains from Mahindra.
“Clearly there is a difference from being a whole manufacturer [in the past] to being a customer now, but the way we are working and the way Mahindra allows us to work, to support, it's quite similar [to a factory team],” Biermaier told Motorsport.com. “With Mahindra we are joining all the tests with four-five-six people. This is quite good. We are working like a four-car team.”Mahindra and Abt were one of the founding teams of Formula E when the championship began in 2014, with their respective team bosses Dilbagh Gill and Biermaier developing a strong friendship over the years in the paddock.
“There were not so many manufacturers that gave us the possibility and for us it was clear. One of the first directions went to Banbury, to Dilbagh, and ask him if he can have us.
