Jaguar TCS Racing has announced its completed line-up for the 2027 Formula E season, with Stoffel Vandoorne to race for the team.
Vandoorne completed the team’s line-up, joining Antonio Felix Da Costa. Together, the two drivers have 18 victories and 49 podium finishes.
Vandoorne spent the 2025/26 season on the sidelines after leaving Maserati as it became Citroën. However, returning to the sport in a full-time role, he brings seven seasons of Formula E experience to Jaguar. He’s also become a recognisable and key figure in the sport as it’s grown.
Comments from Ian James
Ian James, Jaguar TCS team principal, spoke about the signing: “I know the calibre of driver and person that Stoffel is and, after working closely with him over the past year as part of our GEN4 development programme, the entire team has seen those qualities for themselves. His experience, technical insight and proven ability to perform at the highest level make him a natural fit alongside António as we enter a new era of Formula E.”
“This is an incredibly exciting time for everyone at Jaguar TCS Racing. On track, we’re building on the momentum of our recent Teams’ World Championship success as we begin the GEN4 era and, off track, we’re helping shape Jaguar’s all-electric future following the launch of Type 01. With Stoffel and António, we have a driver line-up that combines championship-winning talent, experience and determination, and we’re looking forward to what we can achieve together.”
Vandoorne gave his own comments, expressing his excitement at the opportunity. He said, “Having already spent a year with Jaguar TCS Racing as Reserve and Development Driver, I know first-hand the talent, commitment and ambition that exists throughout the team. I’m incredibly excited to step into a full-time race seat and return to Formula E competition. It’s a championship I love, a team I now know well, and I’m looking forward to helping build on the strong foundations we’ve established together.”
Finally, Da Costa shared in the excitement, citing battles throughout the years on track with Vandoorne, and was excited that the two will now be under the same team.
“I’m really looking forward to working alongside Stoffel. We’ve raced against each other for many years, and I’ve
always had huge respect for what he’s achieved in Formula E and throughout his career. He’s incredibly fast, very technical, and I know we’ll push each other hard. Together, we have everything we need to help Jaguar TCS Racing continue fighting at the front.” He said.
