Virgin was among the first teams to confirm an entry into Formula E, with its participation officially announced in December 2013. For the inaugural 2014–15 season, the team signed Jaime Alguersuari and Sam Bird. Bird scored three podiums including two victories, finishing fifth in the Drivers' Championship. The team ended fifth in the Teams' Championship with 133 points.
From the 2015–16 season, Virgin partnered with DS Automobiles, competing as DS Virgin Racing. Jean-Éric Vergne joined Bird for the second season, and the pair delivered four pole positions between them. The team finished third in the Teams' Championship.
For 2016–17, José María López partnered Bird. Alex Lynn substituted for López at the New York City ePrix, scoring a pole on his debut while Bird won both New York races. The team finished fourth in Teams'.
In 2017–18, Bird mounted a serious Drivers' Championship challenge, ultimately finishing third behind Lucas di Grassi. This was the final season of the DS partnership, as DS moved its backing to rival team Techeetah from 2018–19.
Without a manufacturer partner, Virgin signed an Audi customer powertrain deal for 2018–19, which also enabled the signing of Audi factory driver Robin Frijns alongside Bird. Envision Energy came on board as title sponsor, prompting a rebrand to Envision Virgin Racing. The team finished third in Teams' that season, just one point ahead of Nissan e.dams.
Bird and Frijns were retained for 2019–20. Bird won the Diriyah ePrix and secured a podium in Berlin Race 1. Frijns recovered strongly after the COVID-19 disruption, scoring two podiums in Berlin. The team finished fourth in Teams'.
After six seasons with the outfit, Bird left for Jaguar Racing ahead of 2020–21. Reigning Super Formula champion Nick Cassidy was announced as his replacement in July 2020 to partner Frijns.
Following the 2020–21 season, the Virgin branding was removed entirely. The team rebanded as Envision Racing with a new green livery for 2021–22, retaining Cassidy and Frijns.
For the GEN3 era in 2022–23, the team switched to Jaguar powertrains and signed Formula E champion Sébastien Buemi to partner Cassidy. The season proved transformative: Cassidy won four ePrixs and contended for the Drivers' title. A victory for Cassidy in the London Race 2 finale secured the Teams' Championship — the first title won by the outfit in its history under any of its brand names.
Frijns reunited with the team for 2023–24 after Cassidy departed for the Jaguar factory team. Both Frijns and Buemi were retained for 2024–25, with Buemi taking a race victory at Monaco Race 2.
For 2025–26, Frijns was released and replaced by Joel Eriksson, alongside the returning Buemi.
The team's trajectory from an original Formula E entrant under the Virgin name to a Teams' Championship winner under Envision Racing represents one of the championship's most sustained success stories. Sam Bird's prolific period from 2014 to 2020 established the outfit as a consistent front-runner, and Nick Cassidy's title-winning campaign in 2022–23 delivered the first major championship trophy in the team's decade of competition.
