JLR Korea announced that Jaguar TCS Racing is heading to China to compete in the 11th round of the Formula E World Championship Season 12, the '2026 Shanghai E-PRIX'. This race will be held on the Shanghai track, which returns to the Formula E schedule for the first time since its inaugural event in 2019, marking the start of the Asian leg of the season.

The Jaguar TCS Racing team has recorded four wins and four podium finishes in its last eight races, placing first in the team championship standings. In the manufacturers' standings, the team is currently in second place. In the previous Monaco race, Mitch Evans finished second and Antonio Felix da Costa took third, securing back-to-back podium finishes.

Mitch Evans, with his runner-up finish in Monaco, extended his lead over the second-place driver in the drivers' championship by 19 points, further solidifying his position at the top of the drivers' standings. Antonio Felix da Costa, who finished third in Sunday's race, will compete in the Shanghai event as the sixth-ranked driver in the current drivers' championship.

This weekend's race marks the first time Antonio and team principal Ian James will compete in the China round as part of Jaguar TCS Racing. Jaguar TCS Racing has previously recorded two wins and one podium finish in Shanghai, while Antonio has consistently delivered strong results in China, including a podium finish at the 2019 Shanghai event, a victory at the Season 10 Shanghai race, and a podium finish at the Season 11 Shanghai race.

Mitch Evans stated that he will maintain his lead by continuing the momentum from the Monaco race and focusing on consistently accumulating points without errors on the Shanghai track. Antonio Felix da Costa expressed his intention to deliver results in his first race with Jaguar in China, building on his strong performances in previous Chinese events and his pace in Monaco. Team principal Ian James emphasized that although the team currently holds a favorable position, competition is fierce, and they will do their utmost to maintain their upward trajectory at the Shanghai event, which kicks off the Asian tour.

The 11th round of the race is scheduled to take place on Saturday, June 20, at 15:05 China Standard Time.
