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

16 June 2025

Jaguar TCS Racing travel to Jakarta this weekend for Round 12 of the 2024/25 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship.

The British team scored a superb victory from pole position last time out in Shanghai with Nick Cassidy in the #37 Jaguar I‑TYPE 7. The Kiwi will be looking to maintain this strong momentum following his first win of the campaign, having leapt up to seventh overall in the Drivers’ standings. 
 
The Jakarta E‑Prix has proven to be a happy hunting ground for Jaguar TCS Racing’s Mitch Evans. Despite the intense heat of the Indonesian capital, the Jaguar TCS Racing #9 kept a cool head to take victory in the inaugural Jakarta E‑Prix in 2022, and also scored a further podium finish the last time Formula E raced around the 2.37km Jakarta International E‑Prix Circuit in 2023. 
 
The 2025 Jakarta E‑Prix is at 15:05 (BST+6) on Saturday 21 June. 

We are heading to Jakarta motivated by Nick and the team’s pole position and victory in China. The pace and win there proved that when we execute well, and aren’t affected by things outside of our control, we have the performance in the Jaguar I‑TYPE 7 to fight at the front. We are determined and focussed to continue to do that throughout the rest of Season 11.

“Nick has shown what a class act he is behind the wheel throughout the campaign, even if results have not always gone his way, but after taking the win in Shanghai he will travel to Indonesia full of confidence. Mitch has shown how formidable he can be in Jakarta with a victory and podium in the last three races there. His season has been hugely affected by an unbelievable run of bad luck but he and the team are focussed on improving the things we can control to get him back up the front. Jakarta brings with it a unique set of challenges and conditions and we look forward as always to rising to them.

We took a lot of learnings from the Shanghai E‑Prix and hopefully we can show that across the rest of the season. I’ve previously enjoyed success in Jakarta, so I’m looking forward to heading to Indonesia with the aim of delivering a strong result.

We have worked so hard this season to unlock the performance in the Jaguar I‑TYPE 7 and so it was great to leave Shanghai not only with the win, but showing serious pace in both wet and dry conditions. We need to continue that positive momentum, though, and so I’m looking forward to getting back out on track in Jakarta 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.
