Eight years ago when we created this team and returned to international motorsport in Formula E the goal was to put Jaguar back on the top step of the podium, secure championships and write new chapters of Jaguar’s success on the race track.
Sunday 21st July 2024 will go down as a new milestone in Jaguar’s history, the first World Championship win since 1991. And what a year it was, Team and Manufacturer champions in the pinnacle of electric racing. We did it!
A few of us have been here since the start but many more have joined to make Jaguar TCS Racing into the incredible race team we are today and repeatedly deliver the most fast and efficient all-electric race cars. I could not be prouder of what we have built from scratch together, our championship success is down to everyone’s hard work, commitment, ingenuity and put simply unrelenting passion for this team.
Success seems even greater when it's against the strongest of competition and it has been an honour to battle wheel to wheel down to the last laps with TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team. Congratulations to Pascal Wehrlein for winning the Drivers World Championship. As Pascal put it himself both Nick Cassidy and Mitch Evans would have been deserving champions and at times on Sunday it was so very nearly the case for them, I really wish it was. As we reflect there will be things we could have done better and will come back with a focus and determination to change that.
For now though, as the trophies make their way home to be pride of place, I want to thank every single member of the team, our incredible colleagues at JLR, our valued team partners and finally to you our fans for all of your unwavering support. Without you all, none of this would be possible.
All for one, Won for all.
