Nick Cassidy already looks like the early 2024 Formula E title favourite with how he’s started life at Jaguar. Sam Smith explains how an “extremely technical racing driver” has proved to be a perfect fit
Jaguar TCS Racing’s decision to invest in Nick Cassidy, a highly skilled and technical racing driver, was quickly validated in the competitive world of Formula E. Cassidy’s impressive victory at the Diriyah E-Prix demonstrated that the partnership with Mitch Evans was the right choice. Despite recent changes at Jaguar and the departure of key personnel, the team remains strong in various areas, thanks to their dedicated staff. Cassidy’s prior experience with Envision and his interest in the technical aspects of racing made him a perfect fit for Jaguar’s development. The team has also invested in new infrastructure and facilities in Kidlington, UK. Both Cassidy and Evans play an active role in the technical input and bring value to the team beyond their performance on the track. The success of Jaguar in Formula E is remarkable considering they started as a start-up team and built their foundations with a talented but inexperienced group of individuals. This weekend’s race had its challenges, but the team’s confidence and strategic decisions helped them overcome obstacles and deliver strong results.
