Jaguar TCS Racing currently leads the Teams’ Championship with 172 points, with Nick Cassidy and Mitch Evans second and fifth respectively in the drivers’ standings.
The Berlin E-Prix proved to be a strong circuit for Jaguar’s powertrain and drivers last season. Mitch headed home a 1-2 for Jaguar TCS Racing in the first of last year’s Berlin races, with Nick (driving for Jaguar’s customer team, Envision Racing) winning the second race.
South African, Sheldon van der Linde, will return to track for the Official Rookie Test in Berlin on Monday 13 May, alongside Brazilian Enzo Fittipaldi who will get behind the wheel of the Jaguar I-TYPE 6 for the first time.
The 2024 SUN Minimeal Berlin E-Prix starts at 15:03 CEST (BST +1 hour) on both Saturday 11 and Sunday 12 May.
James Barclay, Managing Director, JLR Motorsport and Jaguar TCS Racing Team Principal: “Coming off the back of our historic 1-2 result in Monaco, the team has been working hard to ensure we can build on this momentum over the remainder of the season.
“Next up is Berlin, a destination Formula E has visited in every season since inception, but this year the Tempelhof layout will be all-new, which will test teams and drivers. Last season, Berlin saw Jaguar TCS Racing record our first 1-2 finish, so we are optimistic for two strong races but know it will be a challenging double header weekend.
“We are also looking forward to having Sheldon van de Linde returning to join us for the rookie Test on Monday, with an exciting new rookie, Enzo Fittipaldi joining us for the first time.”
Mitch Evans, Jaguar TCS Racing driver, #9: “Our 1-2 in Monaco was an incredibly proud moment both for me personally, and for the team. It remains tight at the top of both the teams’ and the drivers’ World Championships, so our attention now shifts to Berlin. It’s a circuit we know well, and last year saw positive results for me, Nick, and for the Jaguar powertrain, so we’ll keep pushing this weekend and give it everything we have.”
Nick Cassidy, Jaguar TCS Racing driver, #37: “Following on from our incredible result in Monaco, the team has been working hard to set us up for another successful weekend. Berlin is a fun track – Mitch and I both won here last year, and I’m looking forward to getting out on track to aim to repeat last year’s results.”
Sheldon van der Linde, Jaguar TCS Racing rookie driver: “I’m very excited to get back for my fourth test with the Jaguar TCS Racing team within one year – I feel like a bit of a veteran at these rookie tests by now! Formula E is a really exciting championship to be racing in, one I hope to be competing in in the future, so hopefully this is a stepping stone to that opportunity.”
Enzo Fittipaldi, Jaguar TCS Racing rookie driver: “This will be my first time driving a Formula E race car and I am really looking forward to the opportunity. I’ve spent some time in the simulator at the team’s headquarters in Kidlington to give myself the best chance to have a successful test in Berlin. The rookie test is a great opportunity for young drivers to try an all-electric motorsport category and I can’t wait to get some experience.”
