The extension comes after five years of partnership between TCS and Jaguar TCS Racing. In this timeframe, the squad obtained the 2024 and 2026 ABB FIA Formula E Teams’ World Championships. Jaguar TCS Racing finished the 2025/26 season as Teams’ World Champions, achieving four wins and 10 podium placements.
The team will step into the GEN4 period as the current Teams’ World Champions, with TCS maintaining its position as a technology and innovation collaborator.
Abhinav Kumar, Global Chief Marketing Officer, TCS, says, “This partnership demonstrates what is possible when world-class teams come together with a shared ambition to innovate. At the close of a great season, culminating in the Teams’ World Championship, we are pleased to extend our partnership and build on that momentum as Formula E enters the GEN4 era. With this renewal, we will further harness AI and advanced technologies to unlock new performance opportunities to help Jaguar TCS Racing compete for more podiums and championship wins.”

Chris Thorp, Chairman of JLR Motorsport, which operates Jaguar TCS Racing, says, “Our partnership with TCS has been instrumental in helping Jaguar TCS Racing push the boundaries of performance, efficiency, and innovation. As the Championship enters the GEN4 era, this collaboration helps us drive the future of all-electric motorsport while informing the next generation of Jaguar cars. Extending our partnership with TCS is grounded in proven delivery, shared values, and a clear vision for how data and AI can elevate motorsport performance.”
In the last five years, TCS and Jaguar TCS Racing have utilized cloud and digital twin technologies to enhance race performance and aid the broader electrification transition from motorsport to road vehicles. An essential part of the collaboration is TCS’s Virtual Vehicle Validation Model (V3M), allowing engineers to verify software modifications, perform ongoing simulations, and assist in decision-making in Formula E’s rapid race setting.

The collaboration also encompasses programs aimed at education and sustainability. Nearly 30,000 students from 16 countries have engaged with applications of racing data, design, and strategy through TCS’ Ignite My Future (IMF) program since 2023, utilizing tailored lesson plans and exclusive content that showcases the team.
The expanded collaboration further strengthens TCS' connection with JLR, as the tech firm has partnered with the car manufacturer strategically for over ten years.
In the UK, where TCS has been active for 50 years, the firm collaborates with over 200 brands and earlier this year revealed intentions to generate 5,000 new jobs nationwide in the upcoming three years.
