I am hugely grateful for the opportunities I’ve already had to drive the Jaguar I-TYPE 7 this season, and I’m eager to get back out on track with the team again.”
James Barclay, Jaguar TCS Racing Team Principal added that ‘the rookie tests are extremely important, giving the opportunity to talented drivers to experience the pinnacle of electric motorsport and the latest Formula E GEN3 Evo car. We’re delighted to welcome back Jamie to the team and give her another chance to put the Jaguar I-TYPE 7 through its paces.
