PRE-RACE MEDIA ADVISORY: R2 MEXICO CITY E-PRIX, 10 JANUARY 2025/26 ABB FIA FORMULA E WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP

6 January 2026

Jaguar TCS Racing will return to action on Saturday 10 January as the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship heads to Mexico City for Round 2 of the 2025/26 season. The race – one of the most popular on the calendar – will take place at the iconic 2.63km Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez circuit, renowned for its vibrant atmosphere.

Driving the Jaguar I‑TYPE 7, António Félix da Costa and Mitch Evans both showed great pace during the São Paulo season opener but were denied points by on‑track incidents. The team arrives in Mexico determined to convert performance into points.

São Paulo was a challenging opener, but it was great to be back racing and to feel the competitiveness of the Jaguar I‑TYPE 7. Now all eyes are on Mexico City ‑ it’s one of everyone’s favourite locations on the calendar. The atmosphere there is second to none, with incredible fans and a circuit that always delivers exciting racing. I can’t wait to get back out and push for a strong result.

São Paulo was a tough way to start my journey with Jaguar TCS Racing, especially as we had the pace to fight for the podium. Circumstances went against us, but the positives are clear – we were strong in qualifying and had great pace in the race. That gives me confidence heading into Mexico. I’m excited to get back in the car, push hard, and hopefully turn that performance into some points for the team this week.

Round one reminded us of two things: the strong potential of our car and the unpredictability that defines Formula E. That combination is what makes this championship so compelling. As a team, we’ve reset quickly and are focused on Mexico City, where we’ll look to convert our pace into points. It’s a venue that always showcases the very best of Formula E, and we’re ready to take on the challenge.

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.    

Since then, Jaguar TCS Racing has taken more than 20 race victories and over 50 podium finishes in Formula E, and secured the ABB FIA Formula E Teams’ World Championship and Manufacturer’s Trophy in 2024 – Jaguar’s first World Championship win since 1991.   
   
Last season, competing in the all‑new GEN3 Evo era, Jaguar TCS Racing debuted its most advanced and efficient Formula E race car – the Jaguar I‑TYPE 7 – and took six race wins across the 2024/25 campaign. This is the most victories the British team has taken across a single season since joining the championship nine years ago.   

Jaguar TCS Racing has a new driver pairing for the 2025/26 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship season. Mitch Evans – who has taken the joint‑highest number of victories in Formula E history whilst driving with Jaguar – will team up with Season 6 Formula E champion António Félix da Costa for the forthcoming campaign. The British team will be led by new Team Principal Ian James, who has previously overseen two Drivers’ and Teams’ ABB FIA Formula E World Championship victories for the Mercedes‑EQ Formula E Team and led NEOM McLaren to their historic first Formula E win in 2024. 

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 2025/26 World Championship will see many events take place on temporary street circuits in the centre of the world’s major cities including, São Paulo, Jeddah, Tokyo and Monaco. Additional new venues include Miami and Madrid, 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 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.
