JAGUAR TCS RACING SET RECORDS TO CELEBRATE FORMULA E GEN3 ERA AHEAD OF LONDON CHAMPIONSHIP SHOWDOWN AND TITLE FIGHT

11 August 2026

Jaguar TCS Racing head to London this weekend for the 2025/26 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship season finale (15/16 August) – the last of the GEN3 era – fighting to win both the Teams’ and Drivers’ World Championships.

  • Jaguar TCS Racing have celebrated the ground‑breaking ABB FIA Formula E GEN3 era by setting two Guinness World Records ahead of the London E‑Prix
  • The British team arrives at the season‑finale leading the Teams’ World Championship and with Mitch Evans second in the Drivers’ standings
  • Ahead of their home event, the team set records for both the largest GPS drawing on foot – a +100km outline of the Jaguar I‑TYPE 7 created by a 29‑runner relay – and also the most participants in a racing simulator videogame relay (109)
  • Jaguar TCS Racing have achieved 18 wins across the four‑seasons of GEN3– a total unsurpassable by any other team – and are bidding for more in London
  • The British team is fighting to take their second Teams’ World title and Mitch Evans his first Drivers’ title
  • London will see Mitch’s last two race starts for Jaguar TCS Racing after a decade with the team in which he has secured more wins than any other driver
  • António Félix da Costa is currently sixth in the Drivers’ standings and one of nine drivers still capable of winning the title in London

Jaguar TCS Racing have enjoyed significant success throughout the third‑generation of Formula E – with more race wins than any other team – and to celebrate the British team secured two official Guinness World Records.

The first record, achieved in collaboration with Official Title and Technology Partner, Tata Consultancy Services’ (TCS), saw Jaguar TCS Racing create the largest GPS drawing on foot. The 100km drawing across the streets of London outlined the Jaguar I‑TYPE 7 and showed how both organisations are together ‘for the long run’.

The Guiness World Record‑breaking stunt, designed as a tribute to the 18 wins Jaguar TCS Racing have taken to date in the GEN3 era, depicts the Jaguar I‑TYPE 7. Some 29 runners – comprised of both Jaguar TCS Racing and Tata Consultancy Services team members ‑ completed the +100km route which started and finished at TCS’ London headquarters. Each runner carried a single GPS device passed baton‑style between participants, meeting strict Guinness World Records’ criteria for recognisable artwork, continuous route mapping, timestamped GPS files, and full participant logging. The full record‑breaking route image will be released at 9.00 BST tomorrow, Wednesday 12 August.

Jaguar TCS Racing have also set the Guinness World Record for the most participants in a racing simulator videogame relay. 

Jaguar TCS Racing now head into their home races in London, the last of the GEN3 era, holding a 14‑point advantage over nearest rivals Porsche as the British team look to secure the second Teams’ World Championship in three seasons. 

In his final races for the team after a decade with Jaguar TCS Racing, Mitch Evans is fighting for his maiden Drivers’ World Championship. The Kiwi arrives in London second in the standings, just two points behind leader, Andretti’s Jake Dennis.

In his debut season with the team, António Félix da Costa still has an outside chance of taking his second Formula E Drivers’ World Championship. The Portuguese talent is sixth in the standings – 33 points off the top spot. The top nine drivers are still in mathematical contention for the title.

Technology proven on‑track by Jaguar TCS Racing has directly enhanced development of the Jaguar Type 01, the new luxury four‑door GT that will be revealed later this year.

Rounds 16 & 17 of the 2025/26 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship will take place on 15‑16 August at 15:05 BST.

It has been an incredible journey with Jaguar TCS Racing over the past 10 years, but we are hoping to write one more special chapter in London this weekend. There’s all to play for in the Drivers’ championship and it would be an incredible feeling to win that, while the opportunity to secure our second Teams’ world title at our home event gives us even more motivation heading into London.

It has been a great first season at Jaguar TCS Racing and there have been so many high points along the way. The team has always enjoyed a strong record at home and we are hoping for the same again this weekend. We are still in championship contention and so I will be going all out to end the season strongly to deliver the maximum out on track in London.

GEN3 has been a record‑breaking era for the team, and what better way to mark it than by officially putting our name into the Guinness World Record books ahead of this weekend’s London E‑Prix.

“Heading into our home event in strong contention for the Drivers’ and Teams’ World Championships is what we have been striving towards all season. And, whilst we know how strong the competition will be, we will do everything to support our bid for the Drivers’ title. In addition, delivering a second Teams’ World Championship in three seasons across a record‑breaking era for the team in GEN3 would be a fitting finale.

“I’m confident that the team will thrive under pressure, while we know from last year how competitive our Jaguar I‑TYPE 7 can be around the unique London ExCel circuit.

Running marathons and motorsport racing requires similar qualities: endurance, intelligence, and executing a winning race strategy; mile after mile, lap after lap. TCS has been part of many record‑setting marathons and podium celebrations this year. So, it was natural to bring the two sports together by running side‑by‑side with Jaguar TCS Racing across London to trace the outline of the Jaguar I‑TYPE 7 and set another world record. Congrats to the team and all the runners who set this new record.

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 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 that 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. We aim to inspire through developing and competing in the world’s first net carbon zero championship and supporting and training the next generation of engineers and motorsport professionals.
