Jaguar TCS Racing has created a Guinness World Record by conducting a massive GPS drawing of its Jaguar I-TYPE 7 across 100km of London streets. The record-breaking run was executed by 29 runners, each carrying a GPS device. The route began and ended at Jaguar TCS Racing's London headquarters. The drawing pays tribute to the team's success during the GEN3 era of Formula E, with Jaguar TCS Racing winning 18 races and securing 23 podium finishes during that period.

Additionally, the team set another Guinness World Record by having 109 participants compete in a racing simulator video game relay on a 2km virtual track at Jaguar TCS Racing's technical headquarters. Jaguar TCS Racing Team Principal Ian James stated that the Guinness World Records were a fitting way to mark the end of the GEN3 era, as the team has had a record-breaking year.

Jaguar TCS Racing heads into the London E-Prix with a 14-point lead over Porsche in the Teams World Championship, while Mitch Evans and Antonio Felix da Costa are vying for their first Drivers World Championship titles.
