  NEW DELHI: Panasonic Jaguar Racing will make its FIA Formula E racing debut in the Hong Kong EPrix on October 9.
  Adam Carroll brings speed and experience to Jaguar in a career that has included multiple single-seater championships including A1GP, IndyCar and GP2. Mitch Evans is the youngest driver on the Formula E grid.
  James Barclay, Panasonic Jaguar Racing, Team Director said "We are here to race but we're also here to innovate and to inspire. We will race hard from the start but our expectations are in check as we respect our competitors who have a two-year head start in the series. We've learnt a great deal from our pre-season test and development programme, but there is nothing like real race experience to give us an understanding of what we need to achieve our potential – and it all starts on Sunday."
  In Formula E races, manufacturers can design their own powertrains, which includes the motor, transmission, inverter and the rear suspension. Common components across all teams include the carbon fibre chassis and battery to help control costs. The focus is on developing electric vehicle powertrains.
  Adam Carroll said "It is a historic moment for Jaguar as a team to be embarking on this new journey in electric racing. We have a big opportunity to inspire fans around the world and reach the next generation of EV drivers in new and innovative ways. As drivers, we are here to race but it is important to remember why we are here and the legacy of our Formula E programme in writing a new chapter in Jaguar's history."
  Mitch Evans said "In just two seasons, Formula E has established itself as a real drivers' championship. It has probably the most competitive driver line-up in the world and includes many ex-F1 and IndyCar drivers and a lot of current FIA World Endurance Championship drivers."
