- Jaguar #racing will return to the streets of Santiago on 16 January 2021 for the first of 14 races in 12 cities
The electric single-seater features a new powertrain developed in-house, which will run for the next two seasons. #jaguarracing engineers have focussed on efficiency gains, reduced weight and lowered the centre of gravity of the I-TYPE 5’s powertrain. New suspension will provide greater adjustment from track to track and a more efficient invertor will improve switching speeds and performance. The state-of-the-art invertor also features 24 carat gold due to its highly conductive properties.
Sam Bird and #mitchevans – one of the strongest pairings on the Formula E grid – will drive the new race car. Evans has been with #jaguarracing since they joined the all-electric championship in 2016. Bird, who has won races in every Formula E season, joins the British team this season.
Jaguar #racing welcomes leading materials science company, Dow, for their first ABB FIA Formula E World Championship season with the team. Dow join as an Official Partner and with over 100 years of experience in #automotive, Dow brings material expertise and a pioneering spirit to the #jaguarracing team through its MobilityScienceTM platform and its polyolefin, polyurethanes acrylic, specialty chemical and silicone technologies.
Dow join Jaguar Racing’s leading partner line-up that includes GKN #automotive, Viessmann, Castrol and Official Suppliers Alpinestars and DR1VA.
In addition, Polo Ralph Lauren and #jaguarracing have come together to celebrate the new Jaguar I-TYPE 5 and their shared values of cutting-edge innovation and sustainability. Kicking off the #racing season in style, Jaguar’s Formula E Team will be dressed in custom designed Polo Ralph Lauren packable quilted jackets bearing the #jaguarracing logo, created from recycled nylon and polyester fabrics, as well as recycled down-alternative insulation.
Jaguar Racing is also pleased to debut at the season seven launch the use of new sustainable materials called TYPEFIBRE. The #itype5 has a new prototype race seat made from sustainably sourced TYPEFIBRE. It will be tested at speed in different temperatures, loads and environments around the world as part of the team’s Race to Innovate mission – sharing the benefits of race technology with road cars and in turn Jaguar customers.
Season seven is a very exciting year for #jaguarracing and for Formula E. It’s the first season Formula E boasts world championship status and is Jaguar Racing’s fifth season in the world’s fastest-growing global motorsport. The team have worked harder than ever to create the most efficient, state-of-the-art race car and it is fantastic to be able to unveil it to our customers, fans and partners. This season we also welcome #sambird into the #jaguarracing family and he is already settling in very well. Both Sam and Mitch are hugely motivated along with the rest of the team for the season ahead. We’d like to extend a warm welcome to our new partner Dow. The countdown is now on until we’re back out on track in Santiago and we will be pushing for points, podiums and wins.
JAMES BARCLAYJAGUAR #racing TEAM DIRECTOR:
Revealing the new Jaguar #itype5 to fans today makes it feel very real that I am part of #jaguarracing and builds excitement to get season seven under way. I think the launch is the biggest milestone away from the track action as it highlights all the hard work the team at #jaguarracing have been doing in the off-season. Now I can’t wait to take the #itype5 out on circuit and start my first season with such an iconic British brand.
SAM BIRDJAGUAR #racing DRIVER, #10
Launch day is always a great landmark for the team as we show the world what we’ve been working on behind closed doors and set our intentions for the season. For me it’s a moment to set my own goals for the next season and start the year with positive momentum. This is my fifth season with the team and we are more determined than ever to make this the most successful year we’ve had together.
MITCH EVANSJAGUAR #racing DRIVER, #20
Strong partnerships are based on shared visions and values.
