00:00So the Jaguar i-Type 08 is our entry into the Generation 4 of the ABB FIA Formula E World
00:06Championship.
00:07After now 10 years of Jaguar competing in the championship, it's fantastic to finally see this step change in performance.
00:14We're looking forward to continuing our race-to-road journey through innovation, our technological advancements,
00:20and I personally can't wait to see us get out on track.
00:23So as we head into Gen 4, the Jaguar i-Type 08 is going to accelerate faster than the Formula
00:291 car.
00:29That just goes to show the levels of performance that we're looking to expect,
00:33and the lap times themselves are going to tumble as a result.
00:37Now that all comes about through a number of different changes, advancements that we're making in this new generation.
00:42So to name a couple, we're going from 350 kilowatts max power to 600 kilowatts, so it's a huge step
00:49forward in that respect.
00:50We've got two aero kits to play with, four-wheel drive that's on permanently.
00:55So all of these things come together to mean that we're going to take a huge step forward in terms
00:59of the performance.
01:00At Jaguar, the work that we do on the racetrack has a direct link to the work that we do
01:05on the road.
01:06That's no different now for the Jaguar i-Type 08 and its relationship with the Jaguar Type 01.
01:12However, that work really started back in Gen 3, and when you drive the Type 01,
01:17you can really feel that DNA coming through from the racetrack.
01:21A couple of examples of that, something that we call the silicon carbide fast switching technology,
01:26you can really feel how that has an influence on the way that the car drives.
01:32Secondly, the way that we use the energy management system, so the regenerative braking,
01:37the way that that feeds through the software into the car,
01:40is something that again has a direct link from the racetrack through to the road.
01:43For me, it's super exciting to see this journey continue.
01:46I've been a motorsport fan all my life, and it's a privilege to be working in this industry as well.
01:52Now, I've had an opportunity to work in both Formula 1 and Formula E.
01:56Personally speaking, I think that there's room for both championships.
01:59They're both at the pinnacle of what they do.
02:01Formula 1, of course, has the history and the heritage,
02:04whereas Formula E really is that link to what we're going to be driving as road cars in the future
02:09as well.
02:09So, once again, the technology advancements that we're seeing in Formula E really play a crucial role in what we're
02:15going to be driving,
02:16and I think the championship has a great future.
02:18As we go into the new generation, Gen 4, it's crucial that we as a team learn as quickly as
02:24we can,
02:25and the drivers play a crucial role in that.
02:27For that reason, I'm super happy that we've got two drivers with incredible amounts of experience within the championship.
02:33So, both Antonio and Stoffel, former world champions in their own right, are going to take that experience
02:39and working together with the team ensure that we can learn as quickly as possible
02:43and get that performance that we need out on the track.
02:46At Jaguar TCS Racing, we are hitting it to win.
02:50Now, that seems very clichéd, but we've proven in the past that we're very much capable of doing that.
02:55As we go into this season, we're reigning world champions,
02:58and we want to make sure, first and foremost, that we put ourselves in a position to defend that championship.
03:04Having said that, I know from experience just how tough the competition is going to be.
03:08So, we're going to need all our wits about us.
03:10We're going to need to execute everything perfectly,
03:12but we've got the right ingredients, and it's going to be one hell of a ride.
03:16So, as we go into Gen 4, one of the things I'm most excited about
03:18is to see the future of electric motorsport really taking that step forward.
03:23The performance is going to be second to none,
03:25but above all, we're going to see some incredible racing.
03:28So, I think the fans are going to be the ultimate winners.
