Nelson Piquet Jr and Mitch Evans to Electrify Panasonic Jaguar Racing

Panasonic Jaguar #racing today announced inaugural FIA #formulae Champion #nelsonpiquetjr as the newest member of the team at an exclusive live show hosted at Jaguar’s UK Design headquarters.

Piquet will join #panasonicjaguarracing drivers #mitchevans and Ho-Pin Tung this month for the team’s second season in #formulae. The addition of the defending champion to the driver line-up will put the team in a strong position for the start of season four when official testing gets under way in Valencia next month. 

The announcement was made at Jaguar’s live RE:CHARGE event alongside the reveal of the team’s new racecar. Official reserve driver and Le Mans LMP2 Winner, Ho-Pin Tung, joined hosts Amanda Stretton and George Lamb to unveil the Jaguar I-TYPE 2. With a dynamic new livery design and a significant number of technical upgrades, the Jaguar I-TYPE 2 begins the next evolutionary cycle in Panasonic Jaguar Racing’s #RaceToInnovate. 

The reveal of the Jaguar I-TYPE 2 comes nine days after Jaguar #racing announced it will launch the Jaguar I-PACE eTROPHY, the world’s first all-electric international race series for production-based cars. The history-making championship will support #formulae, starting in late 2018. These latest developments reinforce Jaguar’s long-term commitment to and development of premium battery electric vehicles.

Panasonic Jaguar #racing will return to the streets in the first race of season four of the #formulae street #racing series in Hong Kong on December 2 and 3.
