VIP DRIVERS
HOW IT WORKS
Following on from last season, we are very excited to offer an opportunity for a VIP driver to race a Jaguar I‑PACE eTROPHY in each city where our series is held. It allows for a range of competition throughout the series and adds to the suspense for each new city. Scroll down to view our archive of VIP drivers from the inaugural season.
