barclay becomes first south african to claim formula e team championship title

Team principal of Jaguar TCS Racing James Barclay made history this weekend after leading Jaguar to the British manufacturers maiden Formula E Team Championship title, concluding Season 10.

Jaguar entered the final race weekend ahead of TAG Heuer Porsche in second and finished the campaign with a margin of 36 points.

Barclay had led the teams entry into Formula E in 2016 and has been at the helm ever since. Since joining the sport, Jaguar has claimed 44 podiums, including 16 wins.

Jaguar has a rich racing history, and when we started our Formula E programme back in 2016 we were determined to add to that legacy. To win the 2024 ABB FIA Formula E Teams World Championship - the pinnacle of electric racing - is a fitting reward for everyones hard work and winning mindset, said Barclay.

I feel for both Mitch Evans and Nick Cassidy - coming so close to the Drivers crown is tough for both of them - but they have driven incredibly well all year and I know they will be fighting for the title again next year, he added.
