In a social media post, the Mahindra Group chairman said, \"Welcome, Swagatam, Chloe!\". He added his message in a post on X in response to a post by Mahindra Racing announcing Chambers joining the team.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Mahindra Racing has selected Chambers to participate in the upcoming ABB FIA Formula E World Championship.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The American racer, who is currently among the stars in F1 Academy where she has quickly become one of the series\u2019 stars, has two race wins, four pole positions and ten podium finishes to-date. She is currently placed fourth overall, with two races left to run this season.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"F1 Academy race winner Chloe Chambers joins Mahindra Racing, and will take part in the @FIAFormulaE Women's Test in Valencia next week,\" informed Mahindra Racing in a social media announcement.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Chloe Chambers is the latest addition to Mahindra Racing which is one of the top teams in the FIA Formula E World Championship.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Prior to F1 Academy, Chambers\u2019 career began with a rise through the karting ranks and includes stints in the United States Formula 4 Championship and W Series, plus notable campaigns in Porsche Sprint Challenge America \u2013 in which Chambers won eight of 12 races \u2013 and the Formula Regional Oceana Championship, in which she became the first woman to win a race and take pole position, Mahindra Racing informed in a release on Monday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"And, as Formula E\u2019s dedicated Women\u2019s Test returns for its second iteration at Circuit Ricardo Tormo next month with double the track time, Chambers will now have the opportunity to tackle a full day of running in the Mahindra M12Electro, the latest specification Formula E car, building on her first experience of the championship at the same test twelve months ago,\" the release added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
As part of Mahindra Racing, the 21-year-old Chambers will receive expert guidance and coaching from the team, which enjoyed a resurgence in the FIA\u2019s all-electric series last season, scoring five podium finishes and finished fourth overall in the World Championship \u2013 with over triple the points from the season before.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Also supporting Chambers on the pit wall will be Nyck de Vries, with the Season Seven World Champion remaining trackside after his official testing duties earlier in the week [27-30 October] to give the benefit of his knowledge and experience, Mahindra Racing informed.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI\u2019m super excited to be back behind the wheel of a Formula E car in Valencia next month for the Women\u2019s Test, and to do so with Mahindra Racing. It\u2019s not a new car for me, but last year we only had half a day of running, so there are a lot of areas to still be improved upon and plenty of experience and knowledge to be gained,\" Chloe Chambers said speaking on the news.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cBut I\u2019ve got the experience and guidance of both Mahindra and Nyck [de Vries] behind me, so I\u2019m confident that we will be able to make steps forward, and I\u2019m looking forward to getting to work with the whole team.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Mahindra Racing CEO and Team Principal, Frederic Bertrand added: \u201cChloe is an incredibly exciting talent; we\u2019ve been monitoring her progress in F1 Academy, where she has shown great potential, and we\u2019re looking forward to working with her at the Women\u2019s Test.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
