Simon Evans gets rookie run with Jaguar TCS Racing

Simon Evans aims to join brother Mitch Evans on the ABB FIA Formula E circuit with Jaguar TCS Racing in its new generation three electric race cars.

He gets the chance to prove himself and return to electric racing at the ABB FE rookie test in Berlin on April 24, posting in social media that he’s excited to joining Jaguar TCS racing for the test.

“I’m looking forward to working with the team and the new car.”
Simon first joined his brother in electric racing in 2018, driving in the no longer running Jaguar I-Pace eTrophy series.

Simon was recently appointed McLaren brand manager by the Giltrap Group and has worked for the group for more than 12 years.

He joins 22 other drivers in the rookie test which follows rounds seven and eight of the ABB FE new season at the Tempelhof Airport Circuit in Berlin.

Fellow Kiwi Nick Cassiday (Envision Racing) has stepped up to full-time racing since he was in the last rookie test in Marrakesh in 2020.

Meanwhile, Mitch Evans won the last e-prix in Brazil and is expected to do better this time in Berlin after coming fifth there last year.

Racing in the Berlin 2023 e-prix is on April 22 and April 23.
