news

Mitch Evans has signed a new contract and in the process has committed his long-term future to Panasonic Jaguar Racing.

The New Zealander secured the team’s first ever win in Formula E last season, and came up just short in the drivers’ championship after a tense double-header finale in New York City.

For season six of the ABB FIA Formula E Championship, the Kiwi is looking to go one step further, as the team looks to Mitch to secure more wins, podiums and points in the future.

With the first race of the season in Ad Diriyah, Saudi Arabia, on 22 November, Mitch and Panasonic Jaguar Racing have been working hard to get the I-TYPE 4 race car ready.

James Barclay, Panasonic Jaguar Racing’s Team Director, said he is delighted that Mitch has committed his future to the team for the foreseeable future, adding:

“We have grown together in the last three seasons and developed into a winning team capable of fighting at the front of this highly competitive championship. Together we look forward to writing the next chapter of Jaguar Racing’s history.”

Mitch said: “I’m really happy to be staying with the team for a fourth season. I have had a taste for victory driving for Panasonic Jaguar Racing, and now all I want is more.”

Mitch’s teammate for the new season will be announced at the team’s official launch on 2 October.
