Jaguar TCS Racing have announced Nick Cassidy will join the team’s driver line-up for the 2024 season of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship, the second year of the Gen3 era of Formula E.
The Formula E race winner and 2023 title challenger will join fellow New Zealander Mitch Evans, who has been with the team since they joined the all-electric World Championship in 2016. The two Kiwis will be one of the strongest driver line-ups on the grid, with 15 wins, 37 podiums, 11 pole positions and 1076 championship points between them.
“I’m very excited to be joining the Jaguar TCS Racing team for the 2024 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship,” commented Cassidy. “I’m looking forward to racing for a team like Jaguar that has such a successful motorsport history.
“This season has been my most successful to date, so I can’t wait to get behind the wheel of the Jaguar I-TYPE 6 and fight for points, podiums and wins. Looking forward to having Mitch as a teammate, we have known each other since we were kids and have raced against each other for years, so I’m proud that we will be racing together and hope to continue to put New Zealand on the map in motorsport.”
In 2022, Nick had his first Formula E victory at the New York E-Prix, and a podium in London, finishing eleventh in the Drivers’ Championship. He joins Jaguar TCS Racing off the back of his most successful season to date, having finished the 2023 season runner-up in the Drivers’ World Championship, bringing the title fight to the final weekend of the season. Nick was instrumental in winning the Teams’ World Championship with Envision Racing, driving a Jaguar I-TYPE 6.
The 2024 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship will begin on 13 January 2024 in Mexico City, for the first of 17 rounds of exciting wheel-to-wheel racing on street circuits in the heart of the world’s cities.
