Jaguar I-Pace eTrophy
I still haven't had a chance to check out the Jaguar I-Pace brochure that came in the mail yesterday, so here's some info on the Jaguar I-Pace eTrophy race car and series. Enjoy!
"After becoming the first premium manufacturer to enter FIA Formula E Championship in 2016, Jaguar has created the world’s first production battery electric vehicle race series. The Jaguar I-PACE eTROPHY will be the support series for the FIA Formula E Championship, taking place on the same weekends at the same city circuits, starting in late 2018. Exclusively featuring Jaguar I-PACE eTROPHY racecars, the new all-electric series gives racers of the future a chance to showcase their talent, competing on the world stage in zero-emissions motorsport. Up to 20 electric I-PACE racecars will be on the grid in the centre of 10 races in global cities such as Hong Kong, Paris, Sao Paolo and New York, giving future FIA Formula E Championship stars the chance to race in the world-first series."
