We have already seen a number of electric race cars, from Formula E to the autonomous Roborace series, but Jaguar used the Frankfurt show to reveal a new racing series using its I-Pace.
Due to start late in 2018 as a support race for the Formula E championship which Jaguar already competes in, the company revealed its I-Pace eTrophy and plans a grid of 20 cars for 10 races around the world.
"Formula E has grown exponentially since we joined as the first premium manufacturer last year, with commitments from Audi, Mercedes-Benz and Porsche. The Jaguar I-Pace eTrophy will improve the spectacle for the fans and gives young drivers a ladder into Formula E. We expect our series to be a sell-out international sporting event," says Gerd Mäuser, Jaguar Racing chairman. – BD Motor News
