In 2006-07, the team only scored points on three occasions, scoring 13 points total. The 2007–08 season was a much greater success than the previous two seasons. Narain Karthikeyan scored 61 points for the team, as well as two victories.
Despite missing the opening race of the 2008–09 season due to lack of available cars, Team India managed to score a podium in the final Sprint race of the season, en route to scoring 19 points.
