Good times return at Jaguar TCS Racing with a win in Shanghai. Game on for Berlin and London, says principal JAMES BARCLAY

The second part of our Asian leg in the 2025 schedule really brought some special memories throughout June as we registered Jaguar TCS Racing's second victory of the season and the third in total for the Jaguar I-Type 7.

Nick Cassidy had shown in Monaco with a third place and then again in Tokyo with strong points finishes that we could challenge at the front of the field, and in Shanghai he delivered one of Formula E's most masterful performances in truly dreadful conditions.

There are certain things in racing that stick in my memory and one of them is the great equaliser of wet conditions. I remember Nick first piquing my interest in an otherwise uneventful qualifying session in Valencia in April 2021. That day I saw his potential while racing in the wet. He excelled, and he definitely demonstrated that again in Shanghai. It came down to that feel he has for the car and the tyre. He is strong and confident in his ability in those conditions.

The win also cemented our belief in what we are doing this season, despite some tricky races. In the times when you are up against it, irrespective of the reasons, it is easy to become disillusioned and demotivated. The opposite is true of the Jaguar TCS Racing team this season and that shone through with Nick's China win.
