JAMES BARCLAY
JAGUAR TCS RACING TEAM PRINCIPAL AND MANAGING DIRECTOR OF JLR MOTORSPORT
James Barclay was appointed Team Director for Jaguar’s Formula E programme in November 2015, when the manufacturer first joined the all‑electric series. In 2021, James was appointed Managing Director of JLR Motorsport and Team Principal of Jaguar TCS Racing.
James has been responsible for managing Jaguar’s return to motorsport in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship for the British brand. In 2024, James led Jaguar TCS Racing to win the ABB FIA Formula E Teams’ World Championship ‑ the team's first World Championship in the sport. It was also the year of milestones, as James and the team competed in their 100th Formula E race in Tokyo.
Over the last nine years, James has overseen the growth of Jaguar TCS Racing, from the first Formula E win at the 2019 Rome E‑Prix, to making history at the 2024 Monaco E‑Prix with the first ever 1‑2 finish in the principality. Across eight seasons, the team have secured 16 wins, 46 podiums, 11 pole positions, and a total of 1,411 championship points.
James’ expanded leadership role of JLR Motorsport plays a key part in Reimagining Jaguar as a pure‑electric luxury brand while helping to deliver JLR’s sustainable future and digital transformation. This includes Jaguar TCS Racing’s commitment to the GEN4 era of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship, starting in 2026, which confirms the importance of Jaguar’s race to road technology transfer strategy.
