Panasonic Jaguar Racing fully charged for third Formula E season

Panasonic #Jaguar #racing will return for their third season in the ABB FIA Formula E Championship on December 15 at the inaugural Ad Diriyah E-Prix in Saudi Arabia.

  • Panasonic #Jaguar #racing is entering its third season of ABB FIA Formula E
  • New cars, new race format, new venues, new teams and new drivers for the electric street #racing series
  • First race of the new season will be the inaugural Ad Diriyah E-Prix, Saudi Arabia, on 15 December and concludes eight months later in New York on 14 July – 13 races on four continents overall
  • Panasonic #Jaguar #racing will compete in all-new #Jaguar #itype3 race car
  • Nelson Piquet Jr and #mitchevans return, aiming for regular podium

Panasonic #Jaguar #racing will return for their third season in the ABB FIA Formula E Championship on December 15 at the inaugural Ad Diriyah E-Prix in Saudi Arabia.

The race in Riyadh is one of three new locations on the Formula E calendar and kicks off a season of firsts for #panasonicJaguarracing, with a new car and new support series also launching in the Middle East.

Panasonic #Jaguar #racing drivers #nelsonpiquetjr and #mitchevans will return to race in the all-new, faster #Jaguar #itype3, taking on the new 2.495km street circuit as they strive for a podium finish. This season, each E-Prix is a timed race, lasting 45 minutes plus one lap – making the team’s strategies more difficult and the races unpredictable.

This season, #panasonicJaguarracing has developed and built a new powertrain entirely in-house. With improved efficiency and comparable weight to the I-TYPE 2, the new powertrain is 25 per cent more powerful and produces up to 250KwH (335PS). The state-of-the-art Motor Generator Unit runs in excess of 30,000rpm, more than double a 2018 F1 car. The all-new #Jaguar #itype3 has more than 800 new parts compared to last season’s race car showcasing the development in electric vehicle technology.


“We can’t wait to get back to #racing and kick off our third season in the ABB FIA Formula E championship. We have combined the learnings from our first two seasons to make sure our powertrain is as competitive as possible, hopefully putting us in a great place heading into the opening E-Prix. We had our most successful season to date in 2017-18, and with Nelson and Mitch both returning, I’m optimistic we have the right team and the right cars to secure points and fight for podiums at every race.”
JAMES BARCLAY
PANASONIC #Jaguar #racing TEAM DIRECTOR


“I’m determined to build on the team’s progress last season and really challenge for points and podiums at each race. Mitch and I have been working hard in the off-season to get up to speed with the #Jaguar #itype3. We are both ready to race and can’t wait to get the season under way."
NELSON PIQUET JR
PANASONIC #Jaguar #racing DRIVER #3
