Mahindra Racing has resumed testing of its Gen4 package after facing a two-month delay. The Indian manufacturer conducted its first full test on August 4th at Elvington and Abingdon airfields. The Gen4 car, the successor to the M12 Electro, was initially set to begin testing in May, but was pushed back to mid-July due to supply chain issues and programme risk-management decisions.
The team's reserve driver, Jake Hughes, primarily handled the testing, with occasional input from Edoardo Mortara. Despite the delays, Mahindra remains focused on extracting maximum value and learning from each test run, maintaining their target for the first race of the 2026-27 season. The new generation of car, with an 800bhp engine, is set to debut in the Jeddah round on December 18-19, with the first official pre-season test taking place at Jarama from November 16-20.
