The I-Pace eTrophy race car will make its global public debut at the 2018 BMW i Berlin E-Prix on Saturday, May 19.
Panasonic Jaguar Racing had previously announced in September 2017 that its all-electric I-Pace racer would be joining the ABB FIA Formula E Championship as a support series next year.
“We are excited to reveal the new Jaguar I-Pace eTrophy race car in Berlin and demonstrate its dynamic capabilities for the first time," Panasonic Jaguar Racing's Team Director said. "Jaguar Racing and Special Vehicle Operations (SVO) are building the key foundations for the incredibly exciting championship and we are pleased with the progress of our test and development program, which has included a successful tire test with our partner Michelin."
Testing the car ahead of the demo at Jaguar's facilities in Warwickshire and Gaydon, UK, the race-spec I-Pace has completed its first shakedown as well as tire tests with Michelin in Ladoux, France.
Making sure things run smoothly is MS-RT, the race technology division of M-Sport, as the technical operations partner for eTrophy, providing on-track engineering and technical assistance to the competitors. Alongside MS-RT will be Williams Advanced Engineering firm to provide the vehicle control systems.
A total of 20 I-Pace eTrophy cars will line up on the grid from the start of the 2018/19 season of Formula E, hitting the city streets with a full line up of competitors ahead of the main championship race.
