PACE AND POSITIVITY TO TAKE AWAY FROM ROUND 4 IN SÃO PAULO

Cassidy and the Jaguar I-TYPE 6 showed competitive pace in all sessions in São Paulo, before sustaining damage during Round 4 that would later bring his points scoring hopes to a halt at the iconic Anhembi Sambadrome in Brazil.

·       Both Jaguar TCS Racing Drivers topped Free Practice 1 with Nick placing P2 with a 1:12.776

·       Cassidy went on to set the fastest time on 300Kw power during Free Practice 2

·       Nick remains at the top of the Driver’s Championship with 57 points.

·       Jaguar TCS Racing’s lead in the Teams’ Championship increases to 35 points

Tackling the 11 turns of the 2.93km track, Nick was determined to climb from his P9 starting position. For the early phase of the race, Nick focussed on energy management and positioning his Jaguar I-TYPE 6 ready to progress at the appropriate opportunity. Unfortunately, the concertina effect caught Nick out resulting in damage to the front wing of his car which caused his eventual retirement from the race.

“I had a really fast car in FP1, FP2 and the first run of qualifying today, but the race didn’t go quite how I wanted or expected it to. I had a couple of touches with the front wing and unfortunately it was too badly damaged. I still think I was one of the fastest cars this weekend, plus, I have come off the back of four podiums in a row and I’m still leading the Drivers’ Championship standings so there’s a lot of positives to take forward to Tokyo in two weeks time.”
