JAGUAR TCS RACING ARE THE 2024 ABB FIA FORMULA E TEAMS’ WORLD CHAMPIONS

21 July 2024

Jaguar TCS Racing have won the 2024 ABB FIA Formula E Teams’ World Championship. The win follows a dramatic season finale E‑Prix in London, but one that ultimately ended with a record season points score of 368 for Jaguar TCS Racing. It is Jaguar’s first World Championship win since 1991. Drivers Mitch Evans and Nick Cassidy finished second and third respectively in the Drivers’ World Championship. Jaguar have also won the newly created Manufacturer’s Trophy with 455 points.

  • Jaguar TCS Racing win their first ABB FIA Formula E Teams’ World Championship having scored 368 points following the season finale in London
  • Jaguar also win the newly created Manufacturer’s Trophy with 455 points
  • Jaguar TCS Racing driver Mitch Evans clinches second overall in the Drivers’ World Championship following a third‑place finish in the season’s final race
  • Nick Cassidy, who took a superb pole position, finishes in third place in the Drivers’ World Championship
  • Jaguar TCS Racing win the Teams’ World Championship with the Jaguar I‑TYPE 6 – the world’s most technically advanced all‑electric single‑seat race car that powered Mitch and Nick to a season‑total of four wins, 14 podiums, seven fastest laps and four pole
  • Technology developed and proven on‑track by Jaguar TCS Racing supports the next generation of Jaguar all‑electric vehicles, as Jaguar is reimagined to become an all‑electric brand from 2025
  • It is Jaguar’s first Teams’ World Championship title since winning the World Sportscar Championship for the third time in 1991

This is a truly historic moment for Jaguar TCS Racing, the Jaguar brand and everyone who has played a part in this success. This World Championship belongs to the team, drivers, our partners, the fans and JLR colleagues around the world.

“Jaguar has a rich racing history, and when we started our Formula E programme back in 2016 we were determined to add to that legacy. To win the 2024 ABB FIA Formula E Teams’ World Championship – the pinnacle of electric racing – is fitting reward for everyone’s hard work and winning mindset. I feel for both Mitch and Nick – coming so close to the Drivers’ crown is tough for both of them – but they have driven incredibly well all year and I know they will be fighting for the title again next year.

"I want to extend my personal thanks to everyone who has been involved in our journey so far. This is a great moment for Jaguar TCS Racing and together we will enjoy this incredible achievement!

After an incredibly close qualifying session that saw Nick Cassidy take Pole position with Mitch Evans in third place, the two Jaguars controlled the early part of the race following a safety car, ahead of Drivers’ Championship leader Pascal Wehrlein. After Nick took the second of his two Attack Modes by lap 14, Evans led from Wehrlein. With Nick in third, both Mitch and Wehrlein still needed to take their final attacks and he was therefore in a prime position to take the lead in the closing stage of the race. Unfortunately contact from Porsche’s António Félix Da Costa caused a puncture which effectively ended Nick’s race and his chance of winning the Drivers’ World Championship.   

By lap 33, having taken his second Attack Mode after an initial failed attempt, Mitch was in third, behind Rowland and Wehrlein – positions that were held to the finish.

It’s really difficult today. Securing the Teams’ World Championship is a fantastic achievement, I’m really happy for the team and everyone at Jaguar deserves this so much. They deserved it a long time ago and it’s great it’s now finally done but I do still feel disappointed that neither Nick nor I could get the Drivers’ World Championship. We achieved half of what we set out to achieve but sadly didn’t finish it.

JAGUAR TCS RACING DRIVER, #9

I think what we did this morning was unbelievable ‑ to not do a single lap in FP3, but then go on to be quickest overall in the groups and then take Pole position. I was just incredibly proud of how strong I was mentality. Congratulations to all of our team at Jaguar TCS Racing on winning the Teams' World Championship, they thoroughly deserve it.

NICK CASSIDY
JAGUAR TCS RACING DRIVER, #37

Mitch Evans finished third in the 2023 Drivers’ World Championship with 197 points, his biggest points haul in Formula E, and continues to compete for the team in 2024. Nick Cassidy joins the team’s driver line‑up for the 2024 season of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship.    

The 2023 season saw all teams race with the Gen3 car, the world’s first net zero race car. Jaguar TCS Racing continues to race with the Jaguar I‑TYPE 6 in 2024.
