The British Formula E team has developed the brand‑new Jaguar I‑TYPE 4 for season six, boasting the lightest and most efficient powertrain the team has ever produced with over 900 new parts introduced since the last race in July.
Driving the Jaguar I‑TYPE 4 is, New Zealander, Mitch Evans and, Briton, James Calado. Evans returns after securing his most successful season in Formula E to date and Panasonic Jaguar Racing’s first ever Formula E win at the Rome E‑Prix in 2019. While Calado, new to the series, has seen international success at Le Mans and in World Endurance championships, as the 2017 FIA World Endurance LMGTE Pro Champion & 2019 GTE Pro Le Mans 24 hours winner.
Season 6, Panasonic Jaguar Racing
Our season six objective is to continue to make progress and to compete for more points, podiums and wins. With Mitch and James, we can look to build on the success of last season and push for more on‑track success. We do not underestimate the task, we are up against the most competitive driver and team line up in the championship’s history but also in terms of current motorsport. As we head to Saudi Arabia, we are looking forward to the challenge and will be working hard to deliver a positive start to the season and to kick off our campaign well.

I am excited to head to Saudi Arabia and start our fourth season together. We’ve tasted success now and the plan is to keep pushing for more. We are really well prepared and we know it is going to be a big fight. Saudi Arabia is a challenging track, and it is a double header, so it is important we get off to a strong start to season six.

Heading to a track I’ve never visited in a race series completely new to me will be a big challenge, but one I’m really looking forward to. Testing has gone well but I can’t wait to get out on track and start racing in my first ever Formula E race. As one of the new drivers on the grid, I’m fully motivated and hope to surprise a few people in Saudi Arabia.
