Panasonic Jaguar Racing brought its debut season in FIA Formula E to a close last Sunday in Montreal, Canada with both Jaguar I-TYPEs racing hard but ultimately missing out on further points. Mitch Evans lined up P17 and Adam Carroll P19 after a difficult qualifying session, with track temperatures noticeably warmer than the day before. Following a strong seventh place finish on Saturday for the Kiwi, Evans battled throughout the race to finish just outside the points in P12.
Carroll drove a faultless race, bringing his Jaguar I-TYPE home in P14 and completing a full set of race finishes for the British driver. Both drivers made up five places during the race despite having to manage their energy carefully over 37 laps. Racing in nine of the world's most exciting cities including Hong Kong, Paris and New York, the all-electric Jaguar I-TYPE race cars, driven by Carroll and Evans, have scored a total of 27 points for the Panasonic Jaguar Racing team in their inaugural street racing campaign.
Season three was a key learning year for Jaguar, with particular highlights in Mexico with a double points finish, the fastest lap for Evans in Berlin, and a season's best qualifying in Montreal. The British team now switches focus onto season four, which begins in Hong Kong this December. The Jaguar I-TYPE 2's development is well underway and the team will launch its new challenger in the coming months. The 2017/18 FIA Formula E season begins on 2nd December, with a double-header on the streets of Hong Kong.
