Jaguar TCS Racing took victory in last month’s opening round of the 2024/25 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship in Brazil. 

Mitch Evans won the E-Prix from last on the grid, ensuring a winning start for the Jaguar I-TYPE 7 in the all-new GEN3 Evo era. 

Evans leads the Drivers’ standings with Nick Cassidy in P16 after a strong performance that, unfortunately, did not result in any points. 

Jaguar TCS Racing are second in the Teams’ World Championship behind McLaren but leads the Manufacturers’ World Championship.

The 2025 Mexico City E-Prix will be held on January 11, 2025, at the 2.63km Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez circuit.

Last season, Cassidy finished third on his Jaguar TCS Racing debut while claiming the fastest lap, with Evans in P5.

The latter took Jaguar’s sole Mexico City victory in 2020. 

“To come away from São Paulo leading two out of three championships was a great boost for the team,” Jaguar TCS racing team principal James Barclay says.

“We know there is still much more to come, and we are working flat out to get the Jaguar I-TYPE 7 into the right window out on track. A lot of performance is still to be unlocked, and we are working hard to try to have another strong weekend in Mexico City.

“Mitch and Nick showed their class in the race in Brazil, and we are eager to come away from Mexico with a strong haul of points from both our drivers if we can. We enjoyed podium success last time in Mexico City and would love to do so again this weekend. We never rest on our laurels and have some areas to work on. As always, the competition will be close, and we look forward to the challenge,” he says

“To start the season with a win – especially given the circumstances from last on the grid – was a special feeling. There’s no time to look back, though, and I expect it to be another closely fought race in Mexico. We will be working hard to achieve another strong result,” Evans says.

“Although the São Paulo race did not end how we wanted it to, we have a fast race car. I hope we can find more performance in the Jaguar I-TYPE 7 and will do all I can to be on the podium in Mexico City,” Cassidy says.
