Year by Year
2022
2021
The car was not as quick as the previous season, however the team did end up with more success then what they predicted. While never truly in championship contention due to pace inconsistencies, a late season surge of wins and podiums lifted the team to second in the constructors.

2020
With a new partnership with Porsche, Mathershaw came out of the blocks as the team to beat. They made most of their competitive advantage early on with three wins out of the first four races, however reliability issues and strategic blunders eventually lost them both championships.
|
2019
With an early announcement that 2019 was to be the final year of the partnership with DS Automobiles, focus switches to 2020 and the new works deal with Porsche, but the team can still pick up three victories and ten podiums on the way to a comfortable third position.

2018
2017
A solid if unspectacular defence of the title sees the team defeated by Downton, but DS Automobiles Team Mathershaw remain comfortably second fastest, winning on three occasions. Adrien Simon has an outside shot, but a mid-season slump proves to be costly.

2016
The DS Automobiles works team led the way throughout the season to take the team's first championship, winning ten races. Adrien Simon and Olen Inman both fought for the driver's title, with the Frenchman taking the honours by two points with victory in the final round in Brazil.

2015
Started the year strongly, once more fighting for the championship, but with the focus switching early to 2016 and the arrival of DS Automobiles, the team fell to third place in the standings. Karl Beckenbauer took the team's solitary win in South Africa before being replaced by Kip Maxwell mid-season.
