Before Jaguar TCS Racing drivers Mitch Evans and António Félix da Costa take to the track, the Miami International Autodrome will also hold a rookie free practice session for the next generation of motorsport talent. Alessandro Giusti will drive for Jaguar TCS Racing in the session on Friday 30 January, marking the next step in his promising racing career so far.

Giusti is currently preparing for his second season racing in FIA Formula 3, after scoring two podiums in his debut campaign leading him to tenth in the overall standings.

In 2022, the 19-year-old Frenchman notably claimed the French F4 championship before a successful two-year stint in the Formula Regional European Championship by Alpine, finishing sixth in his rookie season before improving to fourth in 2024, taking five wins along the way.

The rookie session will not be the first time the Jaguar I-TYPE 7 has been put through its paces at the Miami International Autodrome, with Jaguar TCS Racing having teamed up with Brooklyn Peltz Beckham in Miami for the inaugural Formula E Evo Sessions event last year.

Following Guisti’s outing, and having shown strong pace in the opening two rounds of Formula E Season 12 to date but without points to show for it, Jaguar TCS Racing drivers Mitch Evans and António Félix da Costa will be hungry to maximise the team’s potential at the Miami E-Prix.

Ian James, Jaguar TCS Racing Team Principal, said: “There has been plenty to take away from the opening races of the season where we have shown good pace but have not yet been able to turn it into a result. The Miami E-Prix is a fresh opportunity and we will be doing all we can to maximise it.

“We’re also pleased to continue supporting the next generation of racing talent, and we’re excited to give Alessandro this opportunity in the upcoming rookie free practice session. Alessandro has already demonstrated his racing skills and talent in his young career so far, and we’re looking forward to welcoming him into the Jaguar TCS Racing team in Miami.”

Mitch Evans, Jaguar TCS Racing driver #9, said: “After a challenging start to the season, I’m looking forward to getting back out on track at the Miami International Autodrome and fighting for points for the team. A strong result there would give us real momentum for the rest of the campaign.”

António Félix da Costa, Jaguar TCS Racing driver #13, said: “As we saw in the last two rounds, there is strong pace in the Jaguar I-TYPE 7 but so far we have not been able to pull everything together. The Miami E-Prix gives us a great opportunity to bounce back strongly and we will be pushing to fight at the front.”

Alessandro Giusti, Jaguar TCS Racing driver, said: "I am really looking forward to driving the Jaguar I-TYPE 7 at the rookie free practice session in Miami. It will be a great feeling to test a Formula E GEN3 Evo car once more, and I am thankful to Jaguar TCS Racing for the opportunity and look forward to working with the whole team.”

Round 3 of the 2025/26 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship begins at 14.05 CST (GMT –5 hours) on Saturday 31 January.
