The Formula E grid is bracing for a high profile return as former world champion Stoffel Vandoorne steps back into a full time race seat with Jaguar TCS Racing for the upcoming GEN4 era.
The Belgian driver transitions from his previous development and reserve duties into a primary race seat with the reigning world champions. This major career move follows his recent commitments in the Endurance World Championship with Peugeot and his simulator responsibilities in Formula 1 with Aston Martin.
At 34 years of age, Vandoorne aims to add a second world title to his racing CV, having previously conquered the championship during the 2021/2022 season with Mercedes before their departure from the all electric series. Bringing over a hundred race starts of experience to the British manufacturer, he is poised to forge a formidable intra team partnership alongside fellow world-class contenders.
The psychological pressure inside the garage will undeniably be high, yet his prior familiarity with the technical crew provides an essential foundation for success. Understanding the inner workings of the engineering squad will serve as a massive advantage when the lights finally go out for the season opener.
Reflecting on his promotion within the squad, Vandoorne emphasized his deep connection with the organization. Having spent the past year embedded in the development program, he feels fully prepared to hit the ground running and fight at the very front of the competitive field.
“Having already spent a year with Jaguar TCS Racing in the role of reserve and development driver, I know firsthand the talent, commitment, and ambition that characterize the entire team,” Vandoorne explained regarding his new role. He further expressed his excitement to return to a full-time grid spot in a championship close to his heart.
“I am thrilled to secure a starting seat and return to racing in Formula E. It is a championship I love, in a team I now know well, and I cannot wait to help consolidate the solid foundations we have built together,” he concluded.
