Whitley, UK, Friday 11 May 2018: Alejandro Agag, founder and CEO of Formula E, will drive the #Jaguar I-PACE eTROPHY racecar as it makes its global debut in #BERLIN ahead of the E-Prix.
The #Jaguar I-PACE eTROPHY will debut on Saturday 19 May on the #BERLIN Tempelhof Circuit and marks the next chapter of the 2018/19 season of the ABB FIA Formula E Championship. The eTROPHY racecar will be joined on the #BERLIN track by the next generation Formula E car to showcase the future of the championship.
Jaguar has created the first all-electric production-based support series after becoming the first premium manufacturer to join Formula E back in 2016. Since the announcement, the #Jaguar I-PACE eTROPHY has attracted global attention as momentum builds ahead of season five.
Alejandro Agag, Founder and CEO of Formula E: “I’m honoured to drive the #Jaguar I-PACE eTROPHY racecar in #BERLIN - it’s an exciting day for not only #Jaguar but the ABB FIA Formula E Championship. When we launched the eTROPHY series I said I wanted to get behind the wheel and here we are eight months later. This glimpse into the future will be a special moment for the championship as we look ahead to the next generation of electric #racing.”
James Barclay, Team Director #Jaguar #racing: “We are delighted that Alejandro will be the first person to drive the eTROPHY racecar. He has been such a strong supporter of #Jaguar following our entry into Formula E.
“Jaguar returned to #racing with the mission to ‘Race to Innovate’. For #Jaguar #racing this is another step on our commitment to electrification. We launched the #Jaguar I-PACE earlier this year, which applies learnings from our time in Formula E and transfers them to the development of our electric road cars. Now, we will see the next step in our electrification journey as our Special Vehicle Operations team adapt the #Jaguar I-PACE for the world’s first production battery electric vehicle championship.”
