Formula E

Despite wet conditions in Monaco and Tokyo there were bright moments for Jaguar TCS Racing

- JAMES BARCLAY

May was incredibly busy for Jaguar TCS Racing with visits to arguably the two jewels in the crown of the Formula E calendar - Monaco and Tokyo. These are vastly different events but what they share is a sense that each venue has a level of prestige all of its own. Monaco needs little introduction, although for Formula E it presents a spectacle distinct to F1.

I think this is really important to emphasise because the sporting product that Formula E offers there is seldom replicated, and it is not uncommon for moves to be pulled off at Massenet and Mirabeau for example. This is something that the fans and TV viewers love and it's not hard to see why.

My feeling about Tokyo is that it's a city where Formula E should absolutely be visiting. For us it's a phenomenal place to have a motor race in addition to showing our partners and fans that competing on the streets of one of the world's greatest cities can truly thrive.

I also believe that there's so much more potential for this race in the future. That's something the championship promoters will continue to build on in conjunction with the Tokyo Metropolitan Government and its leader Governor Koike, who has been fundamental in making the Tokyo ePrix a reality.
