POST-RACE MEDIA ADVISORY: 2024/25 ABB FIA FORMULA E WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP - R12, JAKARTA, 21 JUNE

21 June 2025

Jaguar TCS Racing secured a top‑five finish in Indonesia, with Nick Cassidy finishing Round 12 of the 2024/25 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship in fifth place.

  • Top‑five finish for Jaguar TCS Racing’s Nick Cassidy in an incident‑packed Jakarta E‑Prix
  • Jaguar TCS Racing’s #37 finished P5 in a race disrupted with safety car and full course yellow periods
  • Mitch Evans finished just outside of the points in P12 after driving much of the Jakarta E‑Prix with a damaged rear end
  • Jaguar TCS Racing are now seventh in the Team’s World Championship standings after Round 12 of Formula E Season 11 in Indonesia

The Jaguar TCS Racing #37 was unfortunate not to finish higher up the order in the Jakarta E‑Prix, with safety car and full course yellow periods during both Attack Mode deployments, restricting the Kiwi’s progress up the order. Nevertheless, P5 ensures Cassidy’s consistent form continues with his fourth point‑scoring finish in the previous five races. 
 
Mitch Evans finished outside of the points in P12, nursing heavy damage to the rear end of his Jaguar I‑TYPE 7 for much of the race after an error under braking by DS Penske’s Jean‑Éric Vergne in the opening stages, for which Vergne received a time‑penalty. 

Some valuable points secured today with that top‑five finish after a challenging race here in Indonesia. We honestly leave frustrated though because Nick did a fantastic job today and his race was significantly impacted by the timing of the safety car and full course yellow periods. He was racing Ticktum and Mortara and was up on energy, so we felt we had a chance to fight for the podium or more. Nick was brilliant today and we will look at what we could have done better, as we always do, but put simply we were also victim of the interventions.

“Mitch was once again the unfortunate recipient of contact, from Vergne this time, in the opening laps which damaged his car and impacted his pace throughout the rest of the race. Vergne made a mistake and it cost us dearly with damage to Mitch’s car. Damaged bodywork rubbing on the tyre also pushed his tyre temperature through the roof and cost us balance and efficiency. He remained in contention for points despite the difficulties he was having behind the wheel, and it is a shame his efforts were not rewarded with a top 10 finish. The positive though, is that we put ourselves into a possible podium position once again and we had pace against the factory Nissan and Porsche teams, especially in qualifying. We are making gains, and our full focus is now on the remaining four races in Berlin and London, and to end the season strongly.

It's good to come away from Jakarta with a fifth‑place finish, even though we were not able to show our full potential out on track due to factors outside of our control. The timing of the safety car and full course yellow whilst I was in Attack Mode meant I couldn’t climb the order, but nevertheless we scored some strong points.

Today was hard, it was a tricky race and we were unfortunate to finish just outside the points. The early contact with Vergne really impacted my race, and my final Attack Mode deployment was compromised with a full course yellow period. We’ll fight hard to bounce back in Berlin.

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.
