Nick Cassidy was the surprise package at Jaguar-powered Envision among the 2023 Formula E title contenders. That status has changed significantly for 2024 as he steps up to the factory team – but his confidence is unwavering
Nick Cassidy transitions from being part of a customer team to joining a works outfit in Formula E, which presents intriguing challenges due to the varying structures of manufacturers in the series. Each manufacturer, such as Porsche, Jaguar, DS Automobiles, Nissan, and Mahindra, has its own unique identity and way of running its team. Despite some drivers needing time to adjust to factory teams in the past, Cassidy is confident that his transition to Jaguar will be smoother, especially since he already has experience with the car from his time at Jaguar customer Envision. Cassidy also brings valuable knowledge from his previous work with Toyota in developing race cars. Jaguar is currently undergoing changes in its senior staff and has a new base with advanced facilities, which may bring both opportunities and potential disruptions for Cassidy as he starts his new phase with the team.
