Jaguar TCS Racing and longstanding partner Castrol set about testing and demonstrating sustainable solutions and circularity – and at the Monaco E-Prix, the team ran re-refined Castrol ON EV Transmission Fluid in its cars, pioneering the process on-track as the first motorsport team in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship to make use of a circular transmission fluid. Season 9 has been a testbed for Castrol, using the Jaguar I-TYPE 6 as a fast-paced laboratory to trial the comparable performance of a more circular transmission fluid. This more circular base oil is blended with performance additives to make a fresh batch of the EV transmission fluid, which is then deployed to the Jaguar I-TYPE 6 gearbox in place of fluid containing virgin base oil.
