# Jaguar confirms driver line-up for debut Formula E campaign

Jaguar have confirmed Mitch Evans and Adam Carroll will lead the team’s charge in their debut season in Formula E.

In an unveiling at the Jaguar Collections Centre, Evans and Carroll were confirmed as the team’s driver pairing with Ho-Pin Tung acting as the team’s official test and reserve driver.

Carroll has a wealth of experience in Formula One’s feeder series, GP2, British GT and WEC whilst Evans is a GP3 champion and is currently racing in GP2 for the Campos team.

Japanese electronics company Panasonic was also announced as Jaguar’s official title partner.

Carroll said: “It’s a real privilege to be racing for Jaguar in Formula E. You only have to look at the calibre of the other drivers in the series to see the level of competitiveness and prestige that this championship now has. To drive for Jaguar is also a dream come true. They are the biggest brand to come into the series and one of the most evocative names in racing.”

Evans added: “Formula E is a real drivers’ championship with some of the most competitive racing in the world. Any of the drivers will tell you how challenging it is to find the limit in a Formula E car and gain those extra tenths and I’m looking forward to the season ahead. Some of history’s most iconic cars have been developed by Jaguar, and I’m thrilled to be part of Jaguar’s electric future and our return to motorsport.”

Season three of the series kicks off in Hong Kong on October 9.
