Jaguar TCS Racing has unveiled its prototype I-TYPE 7 vehicle ahead of preseason testing. The GEN3 Evo race car is 36% faster than the current generation of cars and 30% faster from 0 to 60 mph than a Formula 1 car. It is the first Formula E vehicle with all-wheel drive.In the meanwhile, teams have a lot of work to accomplish before the Formula E 2024–25 season begins in December. Jaguar TCS Racing has unveiled its prototype I-TYPE 7 vehicle ahead of preseason testing, which is a component of that effort.
The GEN3 Evo race car, which is 36% faster than the current generation of cars and 30% faster from 0 to 60 mph than a Formula 1 car, will be used by Formula E for the 2024–2025 season. Notably, it is the first Formula E vehicle with all-wheel drive; however, this capability will only be accessible during attack mode, race starts, and qualifying battles.
The thrill of crucial racing moments is increased and driver rivalries are heightened by this feature, which maximises acceleration and control. The FIA stated earlier this year that AWD improves strategy and performance, making racing more thrilling for both drivers and spectators. To elaborate, Jaguar TCS Racing (JTR) claims that the Hankook iON tires would make races faster and tighter than ever before because they have 5–10% greater grip.
JTR has customised the car’s livery for this prototype. The team’s winning tracks are displayed in this livery. Its first victory in Rome and its 1-2 triumph in Monaco are among the 11 courses that are shown in total. Given all of these modifications to the vehicles, JTR is probably eager to see data from them, and drivers Nick Cassidy and Mitch Evans are eager to get behind the wheel.
“I’m excited to drive the Jaguar I-TYPE 7 prototype in its testing livery in Valencia because the GEN3 Evo specifications and new Hankook tires will present new challenges.” I’ve won on nine of the eleven highlighted tracks, so the livery really speaks to me. I aim to add more to that list next season,” Evans said. “The addition of all-wheel drive will undoubtedly increase fan interest and present us drivers with new challenges. “I’m excited to race once more,” Cassidy said.
Women’s participation in testing seems to be a component of a larger initiative to promote inclusivity in Formula Motorsport. Large companies that sponsor female drivers, such as Alpine, Red Bull, and Aston Martin, have been attracted to the F1 Academy, and it is hoped that the FIA will do the same for Formula E.
On December 7, Formula E will resume racing for the Sao Paulo E-Prix. Due to hosting a race in 2023, South Africa is not scheduled for the upcoming season. The reason behind that race’s cancellation is unknown, but we believe that, like most FIA-sponsored events, the price was too high for South Africa to bear.
