Panasonic Jaguar Racing will field Briton Alex Lynn in the Jaguar I‑TYPE 3 alongside Mitch Evans at the Rome E‑Prix on 13 April in the team line‑up for the ABB FIA Formula E Championship. Alex joins the British team and brings relevant experience of Formula E from his debut season in the championship in season four. 

The British driver returns to Panasonic Jaguar Racing after making his testing debut for the team at Donington Park in 2016. Lynn joins the team to support their objective to fight for podiums in season five. 

Our objective this season is to be competing for podiums, we have agreed that Alex will join the team from the next event in Rome. With half the season remaining we will be pushing very hard for strong results. I would like to welcome Alex to the Panasonic Jaguar Racing team and look forward to working with him.

I am really excited to get behind the wheel of the Jaguar I‑TYPE 3 in Rome. Joining Panasonic Jaguar Racing is a great opportunity for me. I am focused on working with Mitch, the engineers and technicians to put in a strong performance from now until the end of the season.

Notes to Editors

ABOUT PANASONIC JAGUAR RACING

Jaguar returned to racing in October 2016, becoming the first premium manufacturer to join the all‑electric ABB FIA Formula E Championship street racing series.

Jaguar’s Formula E programme will create tangible R&D benefits for the electrification of future Jaguar and Land Rover road cars and is designed around the team’s founding principle, ‘Race to Innovate’. 

Manufacturers can design their own powertrain, which includes the motor, transmission, inverter and rear suspension. Common components across all teams to control costs include the carbon fibre chassis and battery. The focus is on developing electric vehicle powertrains.

ABB Formula E unveiled earlier this year the Generation 2 racecars. Teams will now have one racecar per driver, and no longer be required to make the mandatory car swap.

Beyond its all‑electric concept, Formula E is unique in the world of motorsport for its choice of venues. The championship takes place on temporary street circuits in the centre of the world’s major cities including Riyadh, Hong Kong, Sanya, Monaco, Rome, Paris and ending in a double‑header weekend in New York.
