Mahindra Racing have capped off their best ever season in the FIA Formula E Championship with a second place finish at the Montreal ePrix here.
Swedish racing driver Felix Rosenqvist delivered the team's final podium in round 12 yesterday, while teammate Nick Heidfeld followed in fifth to lock down third place in the Teams' Championship.
The result capped off a stellar season for Mahindra, who finished sixth in the previous season.
A solitary point for tenth in the first race was wholly unrepresentative of the pace that Rosenqvist demonstrated within the top four for the majority of the race. Heidfeld recovered from P14 to P11 until a clash with Loic Duval ended his challenge for points on Saturday.
The team mounted a comeback plan overnight to turn its fortunes on the 2.75km street circuit in the heart of the city.
Both drivers converted their M3Electro racecar's potential to outright pace to nail qualifying and enter the Super Pole shootout for the fifth and sixth time since the opening round in Hong Kong.
Pole for Rosenqvist meant he was able to lead the 20- strong field from the start for the third time in his short Formula E career and went on to control the race for almost 30 laps.
For Heidfeld, qualifying on the second row in fourth position was a vast improvement on Saturday's race and he was able to convert to a worthy fifth to contribute to the teams' overall championship standing.
Overall, Rosenqvist delivered five podiums including a maiden victory in Berlin. His three pole positions also helped him to third in the Drivers' Championship in his maiden Formula E season.
