context_page_description: The Envision Virgin Racing Formula E Team is a British motor racing team based at Silverstone Park, UK and majority-owned by Envision Energy that competes in Formula E.
  Currently, the two drivers are Sam Bird and Robin Frijns.
context_section_description: Virgin fielded Bird and the returning Alex Lynn for its fourth season. Bird was in contention for the Drivers' Championship as the main rival for Jean-Éric Vergne (who competed for Techeetah at the time), however he got overtaken by Lucas di Grassi in the final weekend of the season in New York City, thus finished third. Lynn was unable to keep up with Bird for the entire campaign and was not kept for the next season.
  Virgin would finish third in Teams' Championship with 160 points. This would mark the end of the partnership with DS.
