22 Feb 2017|1,071 views
Panasonic Jaguar Racing's South American FIA Formula E debut in Argentina produced more positives for the series' newest team. Mitch Evans put together an impressive lap during qualifying to start from P7, just two positions outside the Super Pole group. It was the first top 10 position for the British team in only its third race. The New Zealander also put in a P3 time early in the first practice session. His teammate Adam Carroll struggled to find confidence in his car set-up and started the race in P15.
Evans' race was busy from lights to flag as he battled with Nico Prost and Felix Rosenqvist into the first corner, pushing him down the order to P9. During the first stint the Jaguar I-TYPE driver managed to regain the two positions with some great race craft. Carroll's race was compromised from the start when his car failed to get off the grid before he was able to start one lap down on the field.
Ultimately, Evans narrowly missed out on the team's debut points, finishing P13. Carroll did his best to fight back to finish P17 in front of Mahindra's Felix Rosenqvist. He maximised the opportunity to gain valuable track time and crucial data for the team to analyse ahead of the next race.
