Jaguar is the latest carmaker to join FIA Formula E Championship starting the fall of next year. For the uninitiated, Formula E is the first global single-seater championship for electric-powered cars. The Jaguar Formula E team partnered with Williams Advanced Engineering to develop the two cars they’ll enter into the third season of the series. Jaguar hasn’t announced yet who will be driving their two cars.
Originally, Formula E series started out with 10 teams driving the same car called the Spark-Renault SRT. In the second season and those coming after it, the series changed to open class to let the teams field their own cars. The only similarity they will have is the chassis and battery. The season starts in October 2016 and will end in July 2017 with 11 races that will happen in 10 cities starting in Beijing and ending with two rounds in London.
