2018–19 Jaguar I-Pace eTrophy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jaguar I-Pace car concept at the Frankfurt Autoshow 2017

The 2018–19 Jaguar I-Pace eTrophy was the inaugural season of the battery electric zero-emission international motor racing series supporting the FIA Formula E Championship. It started in December 2018 and ended in July 2019.[1] The series saw entrants compete in a race-prepared Jaguar I-PACE, built by Jaguar's Special Vehicle Operations team with technical support from M-Sport, who maintain the cars. The races took place on selected Formula E weekends.[2][3]

Mid-season changes

[edit]
  • A new Austrian entry, led by Thomas Bleiner, was attempting to enter championship mid-season.[22] An entry dubbed 'Team Bleiner' was featured on a provisional entry list for the second round in Mexico City, but never actually entered the championship.
  • Jaguar China Racing have been rotating multiple drivers throughout the season before ultimately sticking with the line-up of Yaqi Zhang (who competed in every race) and Ziyi Zhang.
  • Stefan Rzadzinski's deal with TWR Techeetah came to end before the Berlin ePrix. A former Panasonic Jaguar Racing driver and the 2008–09 A1GP champion Adam Carroll was announced as his replacement.[23] The team, however, completely withdrew from the following round held in New York City.[24]
