The 43-lap race provided gripping racing from start to finish. Sam Bird lined up on the front row of the grid after making it through to the qualifying Duels finals. The Brit topped Group B with a time of 1.05.975 before going on to beat the Avalanche Andretti of Jake Dennis and the NIO 333 of Dan Ticktum but was pipped by the Jaguar-powered Envision of Sebastien Buemi in the finals.
Mitch Evans lined up P9 on the grid after he just missed out on the Duels by six-thousands of a second and finished fifth in Group A. Mitch was able to carve his way through the pack in an E-Prix, while Sam Bird took the lead four times. In total, there were eight different leaders, but Mitch took the chequered flag with Sam Bird just behind him.
The Jaguar TCS Racing team executed a perfect strategy and the superior pace and efficiency of the Jaguar I-TYPE 6 in an energy critical race. Jaguar TCS Racing remains third in the 2023 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship teams’ standings, closing the gap to Tag Heuer Porsche to 26 points. Mitch Evans, Jaguar TCS Racing driver, #9:“Both Sam and I are up there in the fight and we need to keep building on what we’ve achieved so far.”
