05 August 2020, Berlin, Germany: The Jaguar I-PACE eTROPHY returned to Berlin today in the first of seven races with a reverse circuit layout for the 'Lockdown Showdown' to complete season two of the series.

ZEG iCarros Jaguar Brazil racer Cacá Bueno used his exceptional qualifying performance to lead from lights-to-flag - a dominant drive after a five month pause from electric touring car racing.

Sérgio Jimenez, currently leading the series, now has a fight on his hands following a battle with Simon Evans after finishing today's Jaguar I-PACE eTROPHY race in P4, just behind his series contender from New Zealand.

Nick Foster took the fight to the established field with a stellar debut drive to finish just 3.5 seconds behind Bueno in P2 for Jaguar China Racing despite a damaged rear diffuser from early contact with the wall.

Cacá Bueno, ZEG iCarros Jaguar Brazil Driver:

'I'm really happy with this win. I've fulfilled my goal to take pole position and then the victory. By doing this I've managed to reduce the difference in points between myself and Sérgio - my teammate and leader of the championship - but the most important thing is that we have been very fast in these first two days. It's only the first of seven, now we have to focus on tomorrow and keep the momentum up each day!'

Nick Foster, Jaguar China Racing Driver:

'It's great to finish P2 today in Berlin – I am feeling stoked. It was my first-time using ATTACK MODE so I am getting to grips with that. I am super pleased to hold off Simon and Sérgio. Glad my little scrap with the wall didn't affect me even though it sounded bad with the rear hanging off. I can't wait until tomorrow's race.'

Mark Turner, Jaguar I-PACE eTROPHY Series Manager:

'It feels good to see the I-PACE eTROPHY competitors back racing today after such a long pause. Cacá was flawless today and a very strong performance from Nick Foster will keep everyone guessing regarding the Championship win. We are grateful to all who have made it possible to race at Tempelhof circuit today and look forward to getting back out again tomorrow.'
