Panasonic Jaguar Racing to Make FIA Formula E Racing Debut in Hong Kong ePrix

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

Panasonic #jaguar #racing will make its FIA #formulae debut in the season opening race in Hong Kong’s iconic central harbour-front district this Sunday. 

The British manufacturer is hoping to extend its successful motor sport legacy that dates back to the 1950s by entering a full manufacturer two-car team in #formulae, the all-electric single-seater series that brings #racing to the heart of some of the world’s greatest cities.

Beginning in #hongkong, British driver Adam Carroll, 33, and New Zealander Mitch Evans, 22, will race Panasonic #jaguar Racing’s first all-electric #jaguar racecar, the #itype, in the 14-round series which will conclude in Montreal in July 2017.  

Jaguar’s #formulae programme will create tangible R&D benefits for the electrification of future #jaguar Land Rover road cars and is designed around the team’s founding principle, Race to Innovate.

Formula E races last 50 minutes and includes a mandatory pit stop, in which drivers switch to a second car adding another element to the exciting competition. Drivers face unique challenges in #formulae as they have to manage battery consumption and regeneration of the battery to maintain charge throughout the race.

Manufacturers can design their own powertrains, which includes the motor, transmission, inverter and the rear suspension. Common components across all teams include the carbon fibre chassis and battery to help control costs.  The focus is on developing electric vehicle powertrains. 

Panasonic #jaguar Racing’s #itype features an MGU (Motor Generated Unit) with a maximum power output of 200kW and with a maximum speed of 140mph. Power is delivered via a paddle shift sequential gearbox.

Beyond its all-electric concept, #formulae is also unique in the world of motorsport for its choice of venues. Every round, bar one in Mexico, takes place on street circuits, in the centre of major cities. Track action, including practice, qualifying and #racing, takes place in a single day, apart from at the two-day double-header races in New York and the season-finale in Montreal.
