Jaguar Motorsportgegevens

Jaguar's motorsport legacy is deeply rooted in endurance racing, defined by iconic victories at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. During the 1950s, the brand established its dominance with the revolutionary C-Type, which pioneered the use of disc brakes to win in 1951 and 1953, followed by the aerodynamically advanced D-Type, which secured a hat-trick of victories from 1955 to 1957. After a long hiatus, Jaguar made a triumphant return in the 1980s through a formidable partnership with Tom Walkinshaw Racing (TWR). Their "Silk Cut" liveried Group C prototypes, such as the XJR-9 and XJR-12, conquered the World Sportscar Championship and famously won Le Mans again in 1988 and 1990, breaking a long period of Porsche dominance. The brand's diverse racing portfolio also includes a period in Formula 1 as Jaguar Racing from 2000 to 2004 and significant success in touring car championships with models like the XJ-S. Today, Jaguar's competitive spirit thrives in the all-electric FIA Formula E World Championship, where the team continues to push the boundaries of electric vehicle technology and compete for victories, reaffirming the brand's enduring commitment to performance and innovation on the racetrack.
