Over the last six years James has overseen the growth of Jaguar TCS Racing into a race winning team, thanks to the team’s first Formula E victory at the Rome E-Prix in April 2019 – Jaguar’s first international motorsport win since 1991. Since then, the team have secured three further wins, the first double podium for Jaguar in more than 30 years, a total of 12 podiums and finished runners-up in season seven of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship.
 
In addition to James’ work in Formula E, he was instrumental in the launch of the Jaguar I-PACE eTROPHY - the world’s first electric touring car race series. As the main support series to the ABB FIA Formula E Championship for season five and six, the 10-race championship reinforced Jaguar’s commitment to electric vehicle technology.
