The British firm will race until 2030 after committing to the electric single-seater championship's Gen4 rules

Jaguar will remain in the Formula E World Championship until the end of 2030, saying that it will continue to accelerate its development of its new generation of electric road cars. The British firm has competed in the full electric single-seater category since the 2016-17 season, and will contests its 100th race in the category in Monaco this weekend. During its stint in Formula E the squad has run 13 races, and it is currently leading the 2023-24 season manufacturers’ championship.

Jaguar’s motorsport boss, James Barclay, said that the race team will “continue to drive the rapid development of EV technology on the track”. He noted that the commitment was proof of the JLR board’s “confidence in the value of competition” and that is aligned with the firm’s wider ‘Reimagine’ business strategy. The firm has long insisted that motorsport is a useful proving ground to develop new technology for electric powertrains.
