JAGUAR TCS RACING CONFIRM THAT, AFTER A DECADE OF INCREDIBLE SUCCESS, MITCH EVANS WILL LEAVE THE TEAM AT THE END OF THE 2025/2026 ABB FIA FORMULA E WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP

27 April 2026

Jaguar TCS Racing confirms Mitch Evans will leave the team at the end of the 2025/2026 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship season. This decision has been reached through mutual agreement between the team and Mitch.

The partnership between Jaguar TCS Racing and Mitch has been synonymous with the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship. Through his huge successes achieved with the team over the course of the past decade, Mitch has cemented his place in Jaguar’s motorsport history.

“Both Mitch and the team have reached this decision together and, with 11
races still remaining in our partnership, we will be doing everything we can at
Jaguar TCS Racing to ensure we continue to support Mitch’s efforts in the
Drivers’ World Championship, as well as our fight for the Teams’ and
Manufacturers’ World Championships.

“Throughout my time in Formula E Mitch has been a formidable competitor and superbly gifted racing driver. His record‑breaking number of wins have all been achieved with Jaguar, so on behalf of the whole Jaguar TCS Racing team, I’d like to thank Mitch and wish him all the best for the future.

IAN JAMES
JAGUAR TCS RACING TEAM PRINCIPAL

To have been with Jaguar TCS Racing right from the beginning and achieved so much success throughout the last ten years in Formula E has been incredible. It has been a memorable experience and there have been so many highlights throughout our journey together, but the time is right to embark on a new challenge for next season.

“I am grateful to Jaguar for the opportunity to race for such an iconic brand and will be giving my all to win the Drivers’ World Championship this season while working closely with my team‑mate and friend António [Félix da Costa] as we battle for the Teams’ and Manufacturers’ World titles.

MITCH EVANS
JAGUAR TCS RACING DRIVER #9

Mitch made his debut with Jaguar TCS Racing in 2016 – the same year the team joined the all‑electric World Championship – and has achieved considerable success, with the partnership widely regarded as one of the most successful driver and team pairings in Formula E history. 
 
In his ten years with Jaguar, Mitch has taken an incredible 15 victories. This makes him the outright record‑holder of the most wins in the championship’s 11‑year history to date, alongside a further 21 podiums, 10 pole positions, nine fastest laps and a total of 1,064 points achieved in 132 race starts, with 11 more E‑Prix with Jaguar TCS Racing still to go this season.

MITCH CLAIMED HIS RECORD-BREAKING 15TH WIN IN MIAMI EARLIER THIS YEAR

A two‑time Drivers’ World Championship runner‑up, Mitch has played a pivotal role in transforming the team into a World Championship‑winning outfit, and was integral in Jaguar TCS Racing winning the 2024 ABB FIA Formula E Teams’ World Championship ‑ Jaguar’s first World Championship as a manufacturer since 1991.

Following his decade with the factory Jaguar team, the 31‑year‑old will leave as one of the most successful drivers to have represented the iconic British marque, joining legends of the sport including Sir Stirling Moss and Mike Hawthorn.

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.
