Jaguar TCS Racing leidt het teamklassement in het 2024 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship met 100 punten. Jaguar-coureurs Nick Cassidy en Mitch Evans staan tweede en zesde in het klassement voor de coureurs.

De Zuid-Afrikaanse coureur Sheldon van der Linde rijdt op vrijdag 12 april tijdens de vrije training  zijn derde rookie test voor het Jaguar TCS Racing Team.

De eerste race van de E-Prix op het circuit van Misano begint zaterdag 13 april 2024 om 15:03 uur Nederlandse tijd. De tweede race op zondag 14 april start eveneens om 15:03 uur.

James Barclay, Managing Director van JLR Motorsport en teamchef van Jaguar TCS Racing, zegt: “Misano has been a great stage for other motorsport categories and, as a new addition to the Formula E calendar, we look forward to the challenge and racing once again in Italy. Our visits to Italy in previous years have yielded strong results, with Mitch winning three times in Rome over the last two seasons. Misano will of course be a very different challenge for everyone and we have been working hard on our preparations, we are very much hoping that our return to Italy sees more strong results. We are also excited to welcome Sheldon van der Linde back for the rookie test session for Jaguar TCS Racing in Friday’s FP0 session. Sheldon is a fantastic racing driver with a proven track record already in his young career. His laps around the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli will also provide the team with a solid platform to work from heading into the rest of the weekend.” 

Mitch Evans, coureur Jaguar TCS Racing, #9, zegt: “Racing in Italy holds fond memories for me. Rome was a circuit where I enjoyed a lot of success over the past seasons, but now Misano presents an exciting new challenge. We know our car is competitive, and Misano will give me that opportunity to build on my performances so far this season.”

Nick Cassidy, coureur Jaguar TCS Racing, #37, zegt: “I’m looking forward to Formula E’s inaugural race in Misano. Racing on more traditional tracks presents its own unique elements compared to the street circuits we’re usually on and, as always, strategy will be key. I’m looking forward to taking to the track in Italy again in front of the incredible Italian fans.”

Sheldon van der Linde, ‘rookie driver’ Jaguar TCS Racing, zegt: “Getting behind the wheel of the Jaguar I-TYPE 6 is always an exciting opportunity for me. This will be my third rookie test for the team, at a track I know well from past experience so that will be crucial to gain some insights for the team during FP0. My target is to help Nick and Mitch hit the ground running for their championship campaign.”
