100TH RACE FOR JAGUAR

Jaguar TCS Racing are celebrating their 100th Formula E race in Tokyo, having joined the series in its third season. Mitch Evans has been with the British team for the whole century of starts: ‘I was just 22 years old when I first raced for Jaguar TCS Racing, it’s crazy how fast time goes,’ he said. ‘During our time together, we have been on a huge journey of both learning and growth, and I couldn’t be prouder of what we have achieved. Everyone in the team has helped me to develop both on and off the track, and I’m truly grateful for their ongoing support.’ Evans collected a total of 10 wins, 26 podiums, and six pole positions over the course of his career with Jaguar.

‘We’re super pumped to get out to Japan,’ he continued. ‘It’s my first time racing out there. I have been to Tokyo before and love the city. I’ve actually been asked to watch Nick Cassidy before in Super GT and Japanese fans were really passionate. I’m looking forward to getting our machines out there. And hopefully the event is great, and we can put on a show for them.’

Team mate Nick Cassidy only joined Jaguar this season, but has already collected three podiums, including one win, and is currently leading the championship: ‘Although I have only competed for Jaguar TCS Racing in four of its 100-race journey, during this time I’ve been able to witness the great progress made over the last eight seasons and have been able to add to our points, podiums and wins tally. I’m really proud to be a part of making history with the team and am looking forward to more races together.’

After a DNF last time out in Sao Paulo, Tokyo is a chance to bounce back for Cassidy at the place his career took off: ‘Tokyo is such an exciting race for me. I spent a large period of my racing career in Japan, and I’m ready to return with fantastic memories. The Japanese fans are very passionate about their motorsport, so I’m hoping I can give them something to cheer about.’
