2024 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship: ronde 4: São Paulo, 16 maart
Jaguar TCS Racing leidt op dit moment het kampioenschap met een score van 78 punten. Coureurs Nick Cassidy en Mitch Evans staan in het rijderskampioenschap op respectievelijk de eerste en vijfde plaats. Gezien de goede resultaten van het team bij de race van São Paulo vorig jaar begint Jaguar TCS Racing vol optimisme aan het raceweekend en zet het team alles op alles om de koppositie in het klassement te versterken. De Jaguar I-TYPE 6 heeft eerder al laten zien waartoe de auto op het circuit van São Paolo in staat is en het doel is om dat dit jaar minstens te evenaren.
De 2024 São Paulo E-Prix gaat van start om 14.30 uur lokale tijd (18.30 uur Nederlandse tijd).
James Barclay, Managing Director, JLR Motorsport and Jaguar TCS Racing Team Principal: “Heading into São Paulo we are in a great position, top of both the Teams’ and the Drivers’ World Championship standings. It has been a very positive beginning to the 2024 season but in this extremely competitive world championship we very much realise that this is only the start. We have taken a lot of positives and motivation from the first three races but also have been able to use the break in the race calendar to regroup and dissect our learnings as we prepare for our return to the track in Brazil.
“São Paulo is a wonderful city and circuit, it holds very fond memories for us as a team. Last year finishing first and third, with all three podium positions occupied by Jaguar powertrains, was a key milestone for us all. Celebrating with the Brazilian fans who love their motorsport was also incredible. We have seen how competitive this season is shaping up to be and we know it’s going to be very close across all teams and drivers, but we are approaching the race with optimism and will be doing our best to fight for points and podiums.”
Mitch Evans, Jaguar TCS Racing driver, #9: “São Paulo was my first win of 2023 and a turning point in the season for when we really started building momentum as a team. The track flows really nicely and is great street circuit. The Brazilian fans always create a fantastic atmosphere too. São Paulo will be a great opportunity for me to gain more crucial points for the team and close the gap in the Drivers’ Championship.”
Nick Cassidy, Jaguar TCS Racing driver, #37: “I’ve had a dream start to Season 10, three podiums in three races. As we know, this championship can be very unpredictable, but I’m looking to maintain my strong form. Last season I finished P2 in São Paulo behind Mitch. I know how the Jaguar I-TYPE 6 powertrain performs round this circuit, which gives me a lot of confidence heading into the weekend.”
