THEBURNTCHIP JOINS JAGUAR TCS RACING FOR GROUNDBREAKING FORMULA E EVO SESSIONS IN JEDDAH

11 February 2026

Jaguar TCS Racing is joining forces with Josh Larkin – more popularly known as ‘TheBurntChip’ ‑ in Formula E’s latest iteration of Evo Sessions taking place in Saudi Arabia this weekend (15 February 2026).

  • Jaguar TCS Racing is teaming up with Josh Larkin – more commonly known as ‘TheBurntChip’ ‑ in the upcoming Formula E Evo Sessions event at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit (15 February)
  • After last year’s successful Evo Sessions launch in Miami, this year Saudi Arabia will play host to the second iteration following the Jeddah E‑Prix (13‑14 February)
  • Formula E Evo Sessions is an exclusive motorsport experience for some of the world’s most high‑profile content creators to experience what it takes to be an elite Formula E racing driver and bring that experience to their audiences
  • TheBurntChip will drive the race‑winning Jaguar I‑TYPE 7 – capable of accelerating from 0‑60mph in 1.82‑seconds – following an intensive training programme, including time in the team’s state of the art simulator

To be held following the Jeddah E‑Prix (13‑14 February) at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit, Formula E Evo Sessions is a unique motorsport experience for some of the world’s most high‑profile content creators to see what it takes to be an elite Formula E racing driver. Eleven creators will take part in total, split into two teams, with Jaguar TCS Racing’s TheBurntChip leading Senõr Frogs up against rivals Team QuickStars. 

The day’s on‑track format begins with each creator taking part in a 15‑minute driving session to set their fastest lap (with the first two laps behind the safety car). These lap times seed a knockout duel format: 1st vs 8th, 2nd vs 7th, and so on, leading to semi‑finals and a final to crown the overall winner. Points earned contribute to each creator’s team total, deciding who wins the challenge. The two slowest drivers from the initial sessions miss the duels but will compete head‑to‑head in a “wooden spoon” race. 
 
TheBurntChip is a British content creator with more than one million YouTube subscribers. Associated with The Sidemen – a British collective of content creators – TheBurntChip is also a co‑host of The Fellas podcast, which is currently ranked in the top 20 podcasts in Spotify’s podcast charts. 
 
Before taking the wheel of the race‑winning Jaguar I‑TYPE 7, TheBurntChip has undergone an intensive training programme with the World Championship‑winning Jaguar TCS Racing team, including simulator sessions, physical conditioning, driver coaching and engineering briefings to maximise preparation ahead of the event in Jeddah.

I am so excited to drive the Jaguar I‑TYPE 7 at Formula E Evo Sessions in Jeddah next week. It is going to be a groundbreaking event, and I cannot wait to show what I can do behind the wheel racing out on track as part of Señor Frogs and will be going all out to take the win!”

Formula E Evo Sessions was a momentous event last year and we are pleased to be supporting it once more in Jeddah. Formula E continues to push the boundaries to attract new audiences and this latest Evo Sessions event with Josh behind the wheel promises to be even more exciting and action‑packed.

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.
