NEW SEASON PREVIEW

It doesn’t seem that long ago that we were talking about the end of last season and Jaguar finishing second in the team standings, and the driver ones with Nick Cassidy. The end of last season also saw some significant team changes, with Nick leaving to join Citroën Racing, who are competing in the championship for the first time. More significantly, James Barclay, the Team Director, has left to join McLaren as director of their World Endurance Championship bid, bringing to an end a career with Jaguar Racing that started in 2015 when the team was first formed. A victory in the season finale, with five coming in the last six races, ensured Barclay’s remarkable tenure at Jaguar TCS Racing ends in fine style, after 127 races, 22 victories, 53 podiums, 13 poles and the 2024 Team World Championship title.
