Jaguar TCS Racing’s new HQ ready for ABB FIA FE 2024 season

Jaguar TCS Racing’s new technical headquarters in Kidlington, Oxfordshire, in the United Kingdom, becomes the team’s official base ready for ABB FIA Formula E World Championship 2024 season which starts in Mexico City on January 13.

Jaguar’s powertrain technology for both Jaguar TCS Racing and customer team Envision Racing’s four Jaguar-powered racecars will be designed, developed and manufactured in the new facility supported by technical partner Fortescue WAE, backing Jaguar’s move to an all-electric luxury brand from 2025.

ABB FE Jaguar TCS Racing drivers Kiwis Mitch Evans and Nick Cassidy will test and prepare for the 2024 races at the new site, especially on the driver-in-the-loop simulator.

The new facility features a powertrain build lab, a workshop with car work bays, a sub assembly room, and many other purpose-built rooms.

During the 2024 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship, Jaguar TCS Racing’s remote operations room will be based at the Kidlington site where engineers will provide vital set up and strategy support to their trackside colleagues.

To celebrate the launch of the new facility, Jaguar TCS Racing showcased some of its technical innovations and pioneering materials through bespoke art installations.

The event was opened by JLR Motorsport managing director and Jaguar TCS Racing team principal James Barclay and Fortescue WAE chief executive Judith Judson.

 “Moving into our new technical headquarters is a significant milestone for Jaguar TCS Racing and it’s come at the perfect time,” says Barclay.

“We are soon heading into the 2024 season of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship where we will continue our pursuit of points, podiums and race wins,” he says, adding that the Kidlington site and the racing will aid Jaguar Land Rover’s future production vehicles.
