PRE-RACE MEDIA ADVISORY: 2024/25 ABB FIA FORMULA E WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP: R10-11, SHANGHAI, 31 MAY/1 JUNE

27 May 2025

Jaguar TCS Racing head to Shanghai this weekend for Rounds 10/11 of the 2024/25 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship.

The British team scored a memorable 1‑3 finish in China last season, with winner Mitch Evans joined on the podium by teammate Nick Cassidy ‑ the Kiwi duo will be aiming for a positive result once again in the double‑header this weekend. 
 
The 12‑turn 3km layout of the Shanghai International Circuit will play host to the latest double‑header on the Formula E Season 11 calendar.  
 
The 2025 Shanghai E‑Prix are at 15:05 (BST+7) on Saturday 31 May/Sunday 1 June.

We’re looking forward to heading to Shanghai for the next rounds of Formula E Season 11. At this point in the campaign, the races come thick and fast, which gives us plenty of opportunity to bank some crucial points.

“Mitch took a memorable win in China last season, and he is due a strong result after so much misfortune since his victory in Brazil. The key for us is to get the Jaguar I‑TYPE 7 in the right performance window to give Mitch the best opportunity to fight at the front.

“Nick also bagged a podium finish on our last visit to Shanghai, and with Nick now running in the points, we’re aiming for him to maintain that momentum this weekend and beyond.

We’ve had some setbacks this season, but I know the team has been working incredibly hard to improve the performance of the Jaguar I‑TYPE 7, so I can fight at the front of the field. I have happy memories of last year’s win in China, so it’ll be great to return and hopefully we can deliver another strong result.

With every race we’re learning more about our car, and our focus is to translate that into some big scores for the rest of the season. It was great to be on the podium the last time we raced in Shanghai and the aim is to be back there this weekend.

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.
