Jaguar Racing renews GKN partnership

Racing brand is working with Worcestershire engineering group on drivetrain and software

Jaguar Racing has renewed its partnership with GKN Automotive

Jaguar Racing has renewed its long-term partnership with engineering group GKN.

Redditch-based GKN Automotive will continue its relationship with the West Midlands car brand as its official e-drive partner.

GKN will work closely with the team's technical partners to apply its driveline and software development expertise to the I-Type 5 - Jaguar's new all-electric Formula E race car.

Jaguar Racing competes in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship and is now preparing the start of the next season in January in Chile.

GKN Automotive has roots in motorsport dating back almost a century and it worked with Jaguar in 1935 when it supplied driveline technology to the first SS Jaguar saloon.

Jaguar Racing's team director James Barclay said: "We are extremely pleased that GKN Automotive will continue the valued partnership with Jaguar Racing.

"As a key technical partner, their expertise and facilities will play a key role in supporting the performance of the team and the I-TYPE 5.
