Jaguar returns to international racing in Formula E By: Sam Smith

The Jaguar name will return to International motorsport for the first time in a decade after plans for a long-term campaign in Formula E were confirmed in London on Tuesday. As revealed by Motorsport.com in July, Jaguar had been actively seeking to enter the all-electric championship since the beginning of this year.

After several months of negotiation, Jaguar Land Rover, in conjunction with technical partners Williams Advanced Engineering, finalised contracts earlier this month to enter the championship from the start of season three onward.

JLR's subsequent entry in to Formula E as a manufacturer will be formally acknowledged by the FIA later today.

"I am proud to announce Jaguar's return to racing with an entry into the innovative FIA Formula E championship," said Nick Rogers, group engineering director for Jaguar Land Rover.

Series bossÂ Alejandro Agag added: Â "We are delighted to welcome Jaguar into Formula E.



The team, which is likely to be known as simply Jaguar Formula E team, will have four brand new Dallara/Spark built cars, and a development testing phase for the project will begin in the late-Spring of 2016.

The new Jaguar Formula E team is set to take delivery of four fresh Formula E chassis next year. None of the now-defunct Trulli Formula E team will be carried over for the Jaguar programme.

The attraction of Formula E to Jaguar Land Rover centres heavily on exploiting technology transfer to a new automotive electric mode that the manufacturer is planning to produce for the next decade.

The Jaguar name has a rich heritage in motorsport, having won five Le Mans 24 Hours in the 1950s with the iconic C and D-type models.

Further success came in the 1980s with the Jaguar XJ-S Touring Car model, while a fresh era of Le Mans success came in 1988 and 1990 with the XJR-9 and XJR-15 respectively.

Jaguar's foray in to Formula 1 between 2000 and 2004 netted a paltry return of results, with just two podium positions courtesy of Eddie Irvine before the team was sold to Red Bull.
