2024/25 ABB FIA FORMULA E WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP: R3 & R4, JEDDAH, 14/15 FEBRUARY

10 February 2025

Jaguar TCS Racing are third in the Teams’ World Championship heading into Rounds 3 and 4 of the 2024/25 ABB FIA Formula E season in Saudi Arabia. 

Mitch Evans sits joint‑second in the Drivers’ standings after the opening two rounds, while despite two positive performances so far Nick Cassidy is in P18. Jaguar is also third in the Manufacturers’ World Championship. 
 
This weekend’s double‑header marks the first time Formula E has raced in Jeddah, with both rounds to take place at the 3km Jeddah Corniche Circuit. The team has tasted previous success in Saudi Arabia with two victories, including Nick’s debut win for Jaguar TCS Racing last season in Diriyah. 
 
The first race of the Jeddah E‑Prix will also be the first time Pit Boost – a 10% energy increase via a mandatory 30‑second, 600kW charge in the pitlane – will be deployed in Formula E. Jamie Chadwick will also drive for the team in the Rookie Free Practice session, designed for Rookie drivers, at the Jeddah E‑Prix on Thursday 13 February. 
 
The 2025 Jeddah E‑Prix starts at 17:05 AST (GMT +3 hours). 

There has been plenty to reflect and work on since the last round in Mexico City. The whole team is hugely motivated for a strong performance in Jeddah, and racing at this new Formula E track is an exciting prospect for us. Mitch and Nick have driven really well so far this season and will be focused on optimising the performance of the Jaguar I‑TYPE 7.

“A double‑header means there are plenty of opportunities to score big points, while the debut of Pit Boost adds another variable into the mix. The return of mandatory pitstops is going to add another extra layer of strategy and unpredictability to Formula E, but we have worked hard as a team to ensure we are well prepared.

Racing at any new venue always presents new challenges to overcome, but I am looking forward to getting out on track in Jeddah. It was an unfortunate ending for us in Mexico, but we’ve regrouped as a team since then, and the aim is to deliver some strong performances across both races.

We have put in a lot of hard work since Mexico and hopefully we can translate that into some strong results in Jeddah. I have happy memories of racing in Saudi Arabia for Jaguar TCS Racing, including taking my first win with the team, so it would be great to continue that.

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.
