Jaguar made their debut in the 2016–17 season, replacing the folded Trulli GP. The team signed A1 GP champion Adam Carroll and 2012 GP3 champions Mitch Evans as its drivers.{{cite web |date=19 August 2016 |title=Jaguar signs Carroll as Lynn, Tincknell, Evans vie for second seat |url=http://www.motorsport.com/formula-e/news/jaguar-signs-carroll-as-lynn-tincknell-evans-vie-for-second-seat-808245/?s=1 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160824052108/http://www.motorsport.com/formula-e/news/jaguar-signs-carroll-as-lynn-tincknell-evans-vie-for-second-seat-808245/?s=1 |archive-date=24 August 2016 |access-date=25 August 2016}}{{cite web |date=2 August 2016 |title=Evans to partner Carroll at Jaguar |url=http://www.motorsport.com/formula-e/news/evans-to-partner-carroll-at-jaguar-814790/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160905143835/http://www.motorsport.com/formula-e/news/evans-to-partner-carroll-at-jaguar-814790/ |archive-date=5 September 2016 |access-date=3 August 2016}} Jaguar finished 10th in the Teams' Championship, with the best result being a double points finish of 4th and 8th at the 2017 Mexico City ePrix. Carroll along with Andretti's Robin Frijns were the only two drivers to finish all 12 races of the season.

Ho-Pin Tung remained with the team for another season as a reserve driver. At the season's first event in Hong Kong, Jaguar scored points in both of the weekend's races and took their first podium in the series when Mitch Evans was moved up to third following a post race disqualification of Daniel Abt.{{cite web|url=http://www.eurosport.com/formula-e/abt-loses-first-fe-win-after-disqualification_sto6431246/story.shtml|title=Abt loses first FE win after disqualification|date=3 December 2017|access-date=3 December 2017|work=Eurosport.com|archive-date=15 January 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230115193116/https://www.eurosport.com/geoblocking.shtml|url-status=live}} The team used Paul di Resta and Pietro Fittipaldi for a rookie test held in Marrakesh which followed the 2018 Marrakesh ePrix.{{cite web|url=https://e-racing365.com/formula-e/di-resta-fittipaldi-get-jaguar-formula-e-rookie-test-running/|title=Di Resta, Fittipaldi Get Jaguar Formula E Rookie Test Running|last=Smith|first=Luke|work=e-racing365|date=3 January 2018|access-date=14 April 2019|archive-date=14 April 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190414193033/https://e-racing365.com/formula-e/di-resta-fittipaldi-get-jaguar-formula-e-rookie-test-running/|url-status=live}} At the Zürich ePrix, Evans claimed the team's maiden pole position.{{cite web|url=https://e-racing365.com/formula-e/evans-grabs-maiden-pole-for-jaguar/|title=Evans Grabs Maiden Pole for Jaguar|last=Smith|first=Sam|work=e-racing365|date=10 June 2018|access-date=29 March 2019|archive-date=29 March 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190329082533/https://e-racing365.com/formula-e/evans-grabs-maiden-pole-for-jaguar/|url-status=live}}

Jaguar would finish 6th in Teams' Championship, with the best result being Evans' inherited third place in the second race of the 2017 Hong Kong ePrix. The team managed three double points finishes throughout the season. Both drivers finished in top 10 of the Drivers' Championship – Evans was seventh, while Piquet ended the season at ninth place. Piquet, however, also had the most retirements out of all drivers who competed in the season – he missed the chequered flag five times.

Evans and Piquet were retained for the 2018–19 season.{{cite web|url=https://www.crash.net/fe/news/905707/1/jaguar-launches-itype-3-gen2-formula-e-car|title=Jaguar launches I-TYPE 3 Gen2 Formula E car ahead of 2018/19|last=Larkam|first=Lewis|work=Crash.net|date=19 September 2018|access-date=29 March 2019|archive-date=29 March 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190329082201/https://www.crash.net/fe/news/905707/1/jaguar-launches-itype-3-gen2-formula-e-car|url-status=live}} Ho-Pin Tung was also retained in his position.

No issues were found, thus the win became officially confirmed.{{cite news|url=https://e-racing365.com/formula-e/jaguar-wishbone-analysis-completed/|title=Jaguar Wishbone Analysis Completed|work=e-racing365|first=Sam|last=Smith|date=19 April 2019|access-date=20 April 2019|archive-date=19 April 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190419181407/https://e-racing365.com/formula-e/jaguar-wishbone-analysis-completed/|url-status=live}}

Evans' point-scoring streak came to an end in a rain-soaked Paris ePrix, where he was the last driver to physically cross the finish line in sixteenth place, being a lap down after an unscheduled pit stop for a new nose. Lynn was forced to retire from a promising eleventh place after an accident with Venturi's Edoardo Mortara, effectively ending Jaguar's chances to score points in this round. As a result, this was the first race of the season where both cars failed to score points.{{cite web|url=http://media.jaguarracing.com/news/2019/04/mitch-evans-ends-points-scoring-run-chaotic-paris-e-prix|title=MITCH EVANS ENDS POINTS-SCORING RUN IN CHAOTIC PARIS E-PRIX|publisher=Jaguar Racing|date=27 April 2019|access-date=29 April 2019|archive-date=15 January 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230115193120/https://media.jaguarracing.com/news/2019/04/mitch-evans-ends-points-scoring-run-chaotic-paris-e-prix|url-status=live}} The following race in Monaco was a success, with both cars finishing on points for the first time since the opening round in Ad Diriyah.

Lynn was mostly dealing with reliability issues, most notably retiring from second place in the first New York City race at the Brooklyn Street Circuit.{{cite news|url=https://e-racing365.com/formula-e/lynn-denied-possible-win-takes-grid-penalty-hit/|title=Lynn Denied Possible Win; Takes Grid Penalty Hit for Race 2|work=e-racing365|first=Sam|last=Smith|date=14 July 2019|access-date=15 July 2019|archive-date=15 July 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190715160203/https://e-racing365.com/formula-e/lynn-denied-possible-win-takes-grid-penalty-hit/|url-status=live}}

Despite improved form in the second half of the season, Jaguar would finish 7th in Teams' Championship with 116 points, which is down from a 6th place achieved in the previous season. Evans, however, improved his result in Drivers' Championship as he finished fifth with 105 points, only three points short from Lucas di Grassi, who finished third. Evans was also the only driver who managed to physically cross the finish line in every race of the season, even though Audi's Daniel Abt was classified in every race as well (but failed to finish in Rome as he retired in the final lap).

Bird would finish the ongoing 2019–20 season with Envision Virgin Racing before completing the switch.{{cite web|url=https://www.motorsport.com/formula-e/news/bird-jaguar-switch-2021-calado/4834554/|title=Bird makes surprise Jaguar FE switch for 2020/21|last=Kew|first=Matt|work=Motorsport.com|publisher=Motorsport Network|date=14 July 2020|access-date=15 July 2020|archive-date=15 July 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200715135627/https://www.motorsport.com/formula-e/news/bird-jaguar-switch-2021-calado/4834554/|url-status=live}} Evans continues with the team as he signed a multi-year contract prior to the 2019–20 season. In October 2020, Jaguar unveiled the development version of the I-Type 5 car, with the team only referencing to itself as Jaguar Racing, quietly splitting with the title sponsor Panasonic.{{cite web|url=https://media.jaguarracing.com/news/2020/10/jaguar-racing-renew-multi-year-partnership-gkn-automotive|title=JAGUAR RACING RENEW MULTI-YEAR PARTNERSHIP WITH GKN AUTOMOTIVE|publisher=Jaguar Racing|date=15 October 2020|access-date=15 October 2020|archive-date=18 January 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210118222622/https://media.jaguarracing.com/news/2020/10/jaguar-racing-renew-multi-year-partnership-gkn-automotive|url-status=live}} On 27 November, the team held a virtual launch of the I-Type 5 along with the drivers presentation, revealing new sponsors and announcing the car numbers.{{cite web|url=https://media.jaguarracing.com/news/2020/11/jaguar-racing-unveil-jaguar-i-type-5-race-car-ahead-new-formula-e-campaign|title=JAGUAR RACING UNVEIL JAGUAR I-TYPE 5 RACE CAR AHEAD OF NEW FORMULA E CAMPAIGN|publisher=Jaguar Racing|date=27 November 2020|access-date=27 November 2020|archive-date=20 March 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210320101217/https://media.jaguarracing.com/news/2020/11/jaguar-racing-unveil-jaguar-i-type-5-race-car-ahead-new-formula-e-campaign|url-status=live}} In February 2021, Sacha Fenestraz returned to the team as a reserve driver, replacing Blomqvist who joined NIO 333 as a full-time driver.{{cite web|url=https://www.motorsport.com/formula-e/news/fenestraz-jaguar-reserve-driver-riyadh/5431874/|title=Fenestraz joins Jaguar Formula E team as reserve driver|last=Thukral|first=Rachit|work=Motorsport.com|publisher=Motorsport Network|date=24 February 2021|access-date=24 February 2021|archive-date=24 February 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210224113821/https://www.motorsport.com/formula-e/news/fenestraz-jaguar-reserve-driver-riyadh/5431874/|url-status=live}}

On 2 November 2021, the team announced their latest rebranding to Jaguar TCS Racing along with confirming the unchanged driver lineup of Bird and Evans. Thierry Bolloré was also confirmed as the team's new chairman. On 17 January 2022, Norman Nato was announced as Jaguar's new reserve and simulator driver, joining Tom Dillmann and replacing Sacha Fenestraz.{{cite web|url=https://media.jaguarracing.com/news/2022/01/norman-nato-joins-tom-dillmann-jaguar-tcs-racing-reserve-drivers|title=NORMAN NATO JOINS TOM DILLMANN AS JAGUAR TCS RACING RESERVE DRIVERS|publisher=Jaguar Racing|date=17 January 2022|access-date=17 January 2022|archive-date=26 January 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220126100106/https://media.jaguarracing.com/news/2022/01/norman-nato-joins-tom-dillmann-jaguar-tcs-racing-reserve-drivers|url-status=live}} On 8 February 2022, it was announced that Jaguar would become powertrain suppliers for Envision Racing over the duration of the Gen3 era of Formula E which is set to start with the 2022–23 season.{{cite web|url=https://media.jaguarracing.com/news/2022/02/jaguar-supply-powertrain-technology-envision-racing-generation-3-formula-e|title=JAGUAR TO SUPPLY POWERTRAIN TECHNOLOGY TO ENVISION RACING FOR GENERATION 3 OF FORMULA E|publisher=Jaguar Racing|date=8 February 2022|access-date=8 February 2022|archive-date=8 February 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220208151601/https://media.jaguarracing.com/news/2022/02/jaguar-supply-powertrain-technology-envision-racing-generation-3-formula-e|url-status=live}}

Jaguar retained Evans and Bird for their Gen3 debut. The team changed its visual presentation, ditching teal in favor of white, while keeping black as primary colour. Also part of this change, the new I-Type 6 cars would also run asymmetric liveries.{{cite web|url=https://media.jaguarracing.com/news/2022/11/jaguar-tcs-racing-reveal-i-type-6-most-advanced-all-electric-jaguar-race-car-ever|title=JAGUAR TCS RACING REVEAL I-TYPE 6 – THE MOST ADVANCED ALL-ELECTRIC JAGUAR RACE CAR EVER|publisher=Jaguar Racing|date=30 November 2022|access-date=21 May 2023}} Jaguar had a troublesome season opener in Mexico City.

Jaguar-powered cars were initially uncompetitive against Porsche-powered teams in race conditions (despite having a superior one-lap pace), but slowly took over, scoring several poles, podium finishes and wins since, splitting them between the factory drivers of Evans and Bird and the customer Envision Racing driver lineup of Nick Cassidy and Sébastien Buemi, who became Jaguar's biggest title rivals in the process. Jaguar lost the teams' title by 12 points to Envision; Evans secured the third in the drivers' championship.

On 12 January 2024, it was announced that Joel Eriksson and Tom Dillmann would both remain as test, reserve, and simulator drivers for the 2023–24 season.{{cite web|url=https://media.jaguarracing.com/news/2024/01/joel-eriksson-and-tom-dillmann-return-jaguar-tcs-racing-reserve-and-test-drivers|title=JOEL ERIKSSON AND TOM DILLMANN RETURN AS JAGUAR TCS RACING RESERVE AND TEST DRIVERS|publisher=Jaguar Racing|date=12 January 2024|access-date=27 April 2024}} Meanwhile, Nick Cassidy would replace Bird to partner Evans.{{cite web |title=Cassidy To Join Evans For All-Kiwi Line-Up At Jaguar TCS Racing |url=https://www.fiaformulae.com/en/news/474901/cassidy-to-join-evans-for-all-kiwi-line-up-at-jaguar-tcs-racing |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230817060802/https://fiaformulae.com/en/news/474901/cassidy-to-join-evans-for-all-kiwi-line-up-at-jaguar-tcs-racing |archive-date=17 August 2023 |access-date=7 August 2023 |website=FIA Formula E|date=7 August 2023 }} The team experienced their best season to date, as two wins from each of their drivers would put them on the brink of winning all three titles come the final round in London. Whilst their results would be enough to win both the teams' championship and, along with customer team Envision, the newly-formed manufacturers' trophy, a puncture for Cassidy and a late attack mode miss from Evans meant that Jaguar missed out on the drivers' title to Pascal Wehrlein, with Evans and Cassidy ending up second and third respectively.{{Cite web |date=2024-07-21 |title=Jaguar edges Porsche to Formula E Manufacturers' Trophy after da Costa penalty in London |url=https://racer.com/2024/07/21/jaguar-edges-porsche-to-formula-e-manufacturers-trophy-after-da-costa-penalty-in-london/ |access-date=2024-07-22 |website=RACER |language=en-US}}{{Cite web |date=2024-07-21 |title=Formula E title decided by missed attack mode |url=https://www.the-race.com/formula-e/pascal-wehrlein-formula-e-champion-porsche/ |access-date=2024-07-22 |website=The Race |language=en}}{{Cite web |date=2024-07-21 |title=Wehrlein marches to Formula E title as Jaguar's charge falters |url=https://racer.com/2024/07/21/wehrlein-marches-to-formula-e-title-as-jaguars-charge-falters/ |access-date=2024-07-22 |website=RACER |language=en-US}}

For {{F1|2000}}, Jaguar retained Stewart driver Johnny Herbert and partnered him with 1999 world championship runner-up Eddie Irvine, who reportedly received a $15m contract. However, the team fell short of Stewart's 1999 results, finishing ninth in the Constructors' Championship, with Irvine scoring all four of the team's points. The only teams Jaguar beat were Minardi and Prost, which both failed to score any points. The highlight of the year was Irvine's fourth-place finish at Monaco.

Jaguar's rookie year introduced a common theme: the struggle for control between Ford headquarters in Detroit and Jaguar Racing's headquarters in Milton Keynes. The team was overseen by Wolfgang Reitzle, the head of Ford's Premier Automotive Group, whose remit included both Jaguar Racing and Ford's various luxury marques. Although Jackie Stewart initially stayed on as chairman and CEO, he stepped down in January 2000. Neil Ressler, Ford's chief technical officer, was appointed chairman and interim CEO in January,{{Cite web |date=2000-05-08 |title=Ressler becomes Jaguar Racing CEO |url=https://www.autoweek.com/news/a2125141/ressler-becomes-jaguar-racing-ceo/ |access-date=2025-01-22 |website=Autoweek |language=en-US}} and became full-time CEO in May.{{Cite web |date=2000-05-05 |title=Neil Ressler Takes Over at Jaguar |url=https://au.motorsport.com/f1/news/neil-ressler-takes-over-at-jaguar/1802379/ |access-date=2025-01-22 |website=Motorsport.com}} Paul Stewart remained as COO but stepped down in the middle of the season due to colon cancer.{{Cite web |date=2000-04-17 |title=Paul Stewart stands down |url=https://www.grandprix.com/news/paul-stewart-stands-down.html |access-date=2025-01-22 |website=www.grandprix.com}}

Ressler planned to fill the CEO role until Ford procured the services of Ferrari's Ross Brawn, a veteran of Jaguar's title-winning sports car operation,{{Cite web |title=Ross Brawn on Michael Schumacher: Beyond The Grid podcast {{!}} Formula 1® |url=https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article/ross-brawn-on-michael-schumacher-the-driver-the-leader-the-man.24iiJCajjaY0kIICwU4mak |access-date=2025-01-23 |website=Formula 1® - The Official F1® Website |language=en}} but this did not happen. In the meantime, he clashed with some of Jaguar's UK-based personnel. It was reported that during the {{F1 GP|2000|Malaysian}}, Ressler nearly came to blows with technical director Gary Anderson, a holdover from Stewart GP who resented the Ford bureaucracy's intrusion on his turf.{{Cite web |last=Anderson |first=Gary |date=2023-01-08 |title=F1's last entry by US car giant was a masterclass in failure |url=https://www.the-race.com/formula-1/ford-jaguar-failed-team-us-manufacturer/ |access-date=2025-01-23 |website=The Race |language=en}} Anderson also complained that the England-based team was forced to use a wind tunnel in California (albeit the same wind tunnel that Stewart had previously used{{Cite news |last=Anderson |first=Gary |date=2016-08-09 |title=Why Jaguar was doomed to fail in F1 |url=https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/why-jaguar-was-doomed-to-fail-in-f1-5108943/5108943/ |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20240422222500/https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/why-jaguar-was-doomed-to-fail-in-f1-5108943/5108943/ |archive-date=2024-04-22 |access-date=2025-01-23 |language=en}}) and that Cosworth got more attention than Jaguar from Ford leadership in Detroit.

For {{F1|2001}}, Jaguar retained Irvine and replaced Herbert with Luciano Burti, who was himself replaced by Pedro de la Rosa after four races. Irvine scored the team's first podium in Monaco, finishing third. This allowed Jaguar to finish eighth in the Constructors' Championship, with nine points, including four points-scoring performances.

The year was marked by continued management turmoil. In September 2000, Ressler appointed three-time CART champion Bobby Rahal as team principal for 2001.{{Cite web |date=1999-09-20 |title=Rahal leaving CART to run Jaguar in 2001 |url=https://www.espn.com/auto/formulaone/news/2000/0920/760652.html |access-date=2025-01-22 |website=ESPN}} Ressler then stepped down as CEO before the season began. As part of a broader management shakeup, Ford created a "Ford Premier Performance Division" to oversee Jaguar and its other racing operations. Reitzle was named chairman and three-time Drivers' Champion Niki Lauda was named CEO,{{Cite web |date=2001-02-05 |title=Lauda replaces Ressler as overseer of Jaguar Racing |url=https://www.autoweek.com/news/a2117531/lauda-replaces-ressler-overseer-jaguar-racing/ |access-date=2025-01-22 |website=Autoweek |language=en-US}} with a reported salary of $3 million/year. However, following financial turmoil at Jaguar, Ford redirected its efforts towards auto production and capped the racing team's budget at $150 million, of which $50 million went to the engine department.

Rahal recruited McLaren's former technical director Adrian Newey, but although Newey reportedly signed a contract with Jaguar, he refused to join the team, citing its fractured internal politics.{{Cite web |last=Taylor |first=Simon |date=2015-08-28 |title=Lunch with...

However, following Ressler's exit, Reitzle assumed overall control of the team and gave Lauda more authority. Following the {{F1 GP|2001|Hungarian}}, Lauda ousted Rahal and appointed himself team principal.{{Cite news |last=Henry |first=Alan |date=2001-12-21 |title=Lauda in 'mad' return to track |url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2001/dec/21/formulaone.formulaone2001 |access-date=2025-01-22 |work=The Guardian |language=en-GB |issn=0261-3077}}

At the end of the 2001 season, Ford moved Guenther Steiner from its rally team to serve as Jaguar's managing director.{{Cite web |date=2001-12-01 |title=Jaguar Racing names managing director |url=https://au.motorsport.com/f1/news/jaguar-racing-names-managing-director/1943568/ |access-date=2025-01-22 |website=Motorsport.com}} John Allison took responsibility for the commercial and administrative aspects of the business. More broadly, the team's budget and performance came under closer scrutiny after Ford CEO Jacques Nasser retired and was replaced by William Clay Ford Jr. Although Nasser was enthusiastic about Formula One, Ford Jr. questioned why the company was spending so much money on a team that did not bear the Ford name.

Jaguar retained the Irvine-de la Rosa pairing for {{F1|2002}} and were rewarded with another improvement in the Constructors' Championship, finishing seventh, scoring eight points, all from Irvine. Irvine recorded another podium at Monza, which would ultimately be Jaguar's last podium in Formula One. However, the team was held back by a disappointing car; at one point it was reported that Lauda was considering reusing the 2001 season's car.{{Cite web |date=2002-11-27 |title=Lauda axed from Jaguar |url=https://au.motorsport.com/f1/news/lauda-axed-from-jaguar/1009595/ |access-date=2025-01-22 |website=Motorsport.com}} Lauda blamed the R3's poor aerodynamics on the lack of an on-site wind tunnel.{{Cite web |last=Gray |first=Will |date=2003-04-09 |title=Moving On Up: Interview with John Hogan |url=https://atlasf1.autosport.com/2003/bra/gray.html |access-date=2025-01-16 |website=Atlas F1 Magazine}} Nichols left the team after the R3 performed badly in pre-season testing.{{Cite web |date=2002-02-04 |title=Nichols dumped by Jaguar Racing |url=https://www.grandprix.com/news/nichols-dumped-by-jaguar-racing.html |access-date=2025-01-22 |website=www.grandprix.com}} Mark Gillan was appointed as technical director.

In mid-2002, Wolfgang Reitzle left Ford as part of a broader corporate reorganisation, declining an offer to take a reshaped role that did not include motorsports.{{Cite news |last=Davis, Jr. |first=David E. |date=2002-07-05 |title=Ford Loses Wolfgang Reitzle |url=https://www.motortrend.com/features/wolfgang-reitzle/ |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20240312095605/https://www.motortrend.com/features/wolfgang-reitzle/ |archive-date=2024-03-12 |access-date=2025-01-22 |work=American Driver |language=en-US}}{{Cite news |date=2002-04-19 |title=Ford Executive Reitzle Quits Car World |url=https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/ford-executive-reitzle-quits-car-world-5059584/5059584/ |access-date=2025-01-22 |work=Autosport}} At the end of the season, Ford stripped Lauda of the team principal role and laid off over 60 personnel. Although Lauda was asked to stay in an advisory role, he opted to leave the company, and Ford paid him to sit out the 2003 season.{{Cite news |date=2002-12-29 |title=Lauda says No to Jag Advisory Role |url=https://www.autoweek.com/news/a2131126/lauda-says-no-jag-advisory-role/ |access-date=2025-01-22 |work=Autoweek |language=en-US}}

For {{F1|2003}}, Irvine and de la Rosa were replaced by Mark Webber and Antônio Pizzonia, a decision made by Lauda shortly before his ouster. In addition, Pizzonia was replaced in mid-season by Justin Wilson. The team jumped from eight to 18 points in the Constructors' Championship, but remained in seventh place. Webber scored seven times in seventeen races, and Wilson scored an additional point at Indianapolis.

{{F1|2004}} marked Jaguar's final season in Formula One. The team retained Webber and replaced Wilson with Austrian driver Christian Klien, who reportedly brought in over £10m in sponsorship money from Thai-Austrian energy drink manufacturer Red Bull.{{Cite news |date=2003-12-02 |title=Jaguar defend Klien signing |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/motorsport/formula_one/3256912.stm |access-date=2025-01-23 |work=BBC Sport |language=en-GB}} Although the team took a step back on track, scoring only ten points in eighteen races, it nonetheless finished seventh in the Constructors' Championship for a third straight year. At the end of the year, Red Bull bought the team and renamed it to Red Bull Racing.

The team earned an odd form of publicity when two of its engineers adopted an inflatable donkey (acquired following a give-away on a soda can) from the movie Shrek as an impromptu team mascot. After the 2004 Brazilian Grand Prix, Bernie Ecclestone, Max Mosley, much of the sport's management, and every driver except Michael Schumacher signed the donkey, which the engineers promised to auction off for charity.{{cite web |title=Welcome To Donkey Does F1 |url=http://www.donkeydoesf1.co.uk/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20041211072507/http://www.donkeydoesf1.co.uk/ |archive-date=11 December 2004 |access-date=20 October 2018 |website=Donkey Does F1}}{{cite news |title=Donkey does: Ein Esel auf Weltreisen - Formel 1 Bilderserie |url=https://www.motorsport-magazin.com/formel1/bilderserie/donkey-does-ein-esel-auf-weltreisen-2005,639,2.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181021024752/https://www.motorsport-magazin.com/formel1/bilderserie/donkey-does-ein-esel-auf-weltreisen-2005,639,2.html |archive-date=21 October 2018 |access-date=20 October 2018 |work=Motorsport-Magazin.com |publisher=Motorsport-Magazin.com GmbH |language=de}}

The Jaguar XJR sportscars were a series of sports prototypes that competed in the World Sportscar Championship and IMSA GT Championship between 1984 and 1993. These cars enjoyed high success, with some of the highlights being:

• Silk Cut Jaguar winning the 1987 World Sportscar Championship with the XJR-8;

In 2009, RSR Racing revealed the new Jaguar XKR GT2 car, which the team was to enter the American Le Mans Series' GT2 class with.{{cite news|url=https://www.motorauthority.com/news/1032936_rocketsports-racing-to-tackle-alms-with-new-jaguar-xkr-gt2-race-car|title=Rocketsports Racing to tackle ALMS with new Jaguar XKR GT2 race car|work=Motor Authority|first=Kenneth|last=Hall|date=20 April 2009|access-date=21 September 2019|archive-date=21 September 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190921171140/https://www.motorauthority.com/news/1032936_rocketsports-racing-to-tackle-alms-with-new-jaguar-xkr-gt2-race-car|url-status=live}}

RSR first raced the XKR in the 2010 American Le Mans Series with Paul Gentilozzi, Ryan Dalziel and Marc Goossens. They finished last in the GT class with five points. They also visited that year's 24 Hours of Le Mans, but retired early into the race. The team then entered another season in the American Le Mans Series with Cristiano da Matta and Bruno Junqueira, this time finishing ninth (second last) with six points.

The first GT3 iteration of the XKR was developed by Apex Motorsport, which ran these cars in the FIA GT3 European Championship (from 2007 to 2009).

Jaguar then had a fairly long run in the Blancpain GT Series, with the Switzerland-based racing outfit Emil Frey Racing fielding multiple Jaguar XK Emil Frey G3 cars. Those were an in-house development by Emil Frey Racing, with approval from Jaguar, that conformed to full FIA GT3 regulations.{{Cite web|url=http://www.dailysportscar.com/2014/09/18/doing-things-differently-emil-frey-david-v-goliath.html|title=Doing Things Differently: Emil Frey, David v Goliath – dailysportscar.com|website=www.dailysportscar.com|date=18 September 2014 |access-date=5 January 2017|archive-date=5 January 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170105180626/http://www.dailysportscar.com/2014/09/18/doing-things-differently-emil-frey-david-v-goliath.html|url-status=live}} The car debuted in the 2012 Blancpain Endurance Series and finished its run in the 2018 Blancpain GT Series Endurance Cup. For its farewell season, the car was moved to the Silver Cup and won the championship with the lineup of Alex Fontana, Mikaël Grenier and Adrian Zaugg. It was also third overall in the Endurance Cup Team Rankings.{{cite news|url=https://www.endurance-info.com/en/emil-frey-jaguar-racing-wins-silver-cup-championship-of-blancpain-gt-series-endurance-cup/|title=Emil Frey Jaguar Racing wins Silver Cup Championship of Blancpain GT Series Endurance Cup|work=Endurance-Info|date=4 October 2018|access-date=21 September 2019|archive-date=21 September 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190921171142/https://www.endurance-info.com/en/emil-frey-jaguar-racing-wins-silver-cup-championship-of-blancpain-gt-series-endurance-cup/|url-status=live}} In the previous seasons, the XKRs were run exclusively in the Pro Cup, with the team fielding two cars instead of one in the 2016 and 2017 seasons.

A new entry to the British GT Championship, named Invictus Games Racing and financed by James Holder, fielded two new Jaguar cars for the 2018 season. Despite conforming to standard GT4 regulations, the Jaguar F-Type SVR GT4 was run exclusively in British GT and was not expected to be made available to other customers. The GT4 iteration was developed by Jaguar Land Rover's SVO division.{{cite news|url=http://sportscar365.com/sro/british-gt/jaguar-gt4-launched-for-invictus-games-racing-british-gt-entry/|title=Jaguar GT4 Launched for British GT Entry|last=Kilshaw|first=Jake|date=12 January 2018|work=sportscar365|access-date=21 September 2019|archive-date=30 March 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190330132849/https://sportscar365.com/sro/british-gt/jaguar-gt4-launched-for-invictus-games-racing-british-gt-entry/|url-status=live}}

Invictus ran two cars in the 2018 season, both in Pro-Am class. Jason Wolfe and Matthew George were the full-time professional drivers of these cars, while Steve McCulley, Paul Vice, Ben Norfolk and Basil Rawlinson have been selected as the amateur drivers. The entry was reduced to a single car for the 2019 season, with George, McCulley and Vice staying in the team.

The Invictus team disbanded prior to the 2020 season. In February 2020, both cars along with spare parts were auctioned via Silverstone Auctions and eventually sold for £213,750.{{cite web|url=https://www.silverstoneauctions.com/events/2020-auctions/race-retro-classic-competition-car-sale-2020/race-retro-classic-competition-car-sale-2020/competition-cars-friday-21st-february-2020/a-pair-of-jaguar-f-type-svr-gt4-race-cars-and-spares-package|title=A Pair of Jaguar F-Type SVR GT4 Race Cars and Spares Package|work=Silverstone Auctions|access-date=9 March 2020|archive-date=9 March 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200309144907/https://www.silverstoneauctions.com/events/2020-auctions/race-retro-classic-competition-car-sale-2020/race-retro-classic-competition-car-sale-2020/competition-cars-friday-21st-february-2020/a-pair-of-jaguar-f-type-svr-gt4-race-cars-and-spares-package|url-status=live}}
