2024/25 ABB FIA FORMULA E WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP: R2, MEXICO CITY, 11 JANUARY

6 January 2025

Jaguar TCS Racing took victory in the opening round of the 2024/25 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship in Brazil last month. Mitch Evans won the E‑Prix from last on the grid, ensuring a winning start for the Jaguar I‑TYPE 7 in the all‑new GEN3 Evo era.  
 
Mitch leads the Drivers’ standings with Nick in P16 after a strong performance that unfortunately did not result in any points. Jaguar TCS Racing are second in the Teams’ World Championship behind McLaren, but leads the Manufacturers’ World Championship. 
 
The 2025 Mexico City E‑Prix will be held at the 2.63km Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez circuit. Last season, Nick finished third on his Jaguar TCS Racing debut while claiming the fastest lap, with Mitch in P5. The latter took Jaguar’s sole Mexico City victory in 2020. The 2025 Mexico City E‑Prix is at 14:05 ST (GMT ‑6 hours) on Saturday 11 January 2025.

To come away from São Paulo leading two out of three championships was a great boost for the team. We know there is still a lot more to come, and we are working flat out to get the Jaguar I‑TYPE 7 into the right window out on track. There is a lot of performance still to be unlocked and we are working hard to try and be in a position to have another strong weekend in Mexico City.

“Mitch and Nick showed their class in the race in Brazil and we are eager to come away from Mexico with a strong haul of points from both our drivers if we can. We enjoyed podium success last time out in Mexico City and would love to do so again this weekend. We never rest on our laurels, though, and have some areas to work on. As always, the competition is going to be very close and we look forward to the challenge.

To start the season with a win – especially given the circumstances from last on the grid – was a special feeling. There’s no time to look back, though, and I am expecting it to be another closely fought race in Mexico. We will be working hard to achieve another strong result.

Although the São Paulo race did not end how we wanted it to, I know we have a fast race car. I am hopeful that we can find more performance in the Jaguar I‑TYPE 7 and will be doing all I can to be on the podium in Mexico City.

Notes to Editors

ABOUT JAGUAR TCS RACING  

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

In 2024, Jaguar TCS Racing won the ABB FIA Formula E Teams’ World Championship, Jaguar’s first World Championship win since 1991. Jaguar also won the newly created Manufacturer’s Trophy with the I‑TYPE 6 – Jaguar’s all‑electric GEN3 Formula E race car.  

Jaguar TCS Racing drivers Mitch Evans and Nick Cassidy finished second and third respectively in the 2024 Drivers’ World Championship. Both Mitch and Nick will compete again for Jaguar TCS Racing in Season 11, as Formula E moves into the GEN3 Evo era. Spanning Seasons 11 and 12, GEN3 Evo will see further technical advancements to the world’s only net carbon zero all‑electric race cars including new powertrains and the adoption of all‑wheel‑drive in certain phases of qualifying and racing.    

Jaguar TCS Racing have also confirmed a long‑term commitment to the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship by signing to participate in the GEN4 era, set to commence in 2026 and running through seasons 13‑16.  

Beyond its all‑electric concept, Formula E is unique in the world of motorsport for its choice of venues. The 2024/2025 World Championship will see many events take place on temporary street circuits in the centre of the world’s major cities including, São Paulo, Diriyah, Tokyo and Monaco. Additional new venues include Miami, with the season finale again set to play out across a double‑header race weekend in London.  

As an official manufacturer team in Formula E, Jaguar TCS Racing designs its own powertrain, which includes the motor generator unit, transmission, inverter, and rear suspension. Jaguar, via its long‑term Formula E technical partner Fortescue Zero, will also supply Envision Racing with its powertrain for the GEN3 Evo era.  

To control costs, the carbon fibre chassis and battery are common components and the same for all eleven teams. This allows the focus to be on developing efficient and lightweight electric vehicle powertrains which will improve the performance and range of future JLR electric vehicles.  

Formula E remains a key priority for JLR and the company’s Reimagine strategy. As the premier all‑electric world championship, Formula E allows the team to test and develop new electric vehicle technologies in a high‑performance environment. It continues to be the test bed for the team’s Race to Innovate mission that will see Race to Road and Road to Race learnings that will help shape Jaguar’s all‑electric future.  

Through our Race to Inspire mission, Jaguar TCS Racing are committed to inspiring the future generation by using the race programme to create a positive impact on our planet and the communities in which we race. From competing in the world’s first net zero carbon race car to supporting and training the next generation of engineers and motorsport professionals.
