A part of my role is communicating with the driver while they are out on track – whether that be during testing or at a race. An element we have to ensure is working well for testing is our relationship with and training of the driver. During testing we are exploring key areas of the Jaguar I‑TYPE 4 and need to be able to relay and understand their feedback. With Mitch being a long‑standing driver for Panasonic Jaguar Racing– we have worked together for many seasons at Jaguar ‑ he has completed a lot of testing with new features and is able to understand it not only from the drivers point of view, but also the technical side.
Josep Roca
Panasonic Jaguar Racing Race Engineer for Mitch Evans
A great skill to have in a racing driver is the ability to be able to differentiate between the priorities during a private test versus a race weekend. To be able to understand the importance of testing and provide the engineers with detailed feedback at a test is key. During the development process their role is significant in deciding what data or part to review first.
Cristina Manas
Panasonic Jaguar Racing Performance Engineer for Mitch Evans
The new series, hosted by Amanda Stretton and Vernon Kay, will be a regular, insightful series fans can look forward to with new guests in each episode across Formula E and the Jaguar I‑PACE eTROPHY– the word’s first all‑electric touring car series.
