In the final race of the season, Mitch Evans lined up thirteenth on the grid after a challenging qualifying session where he was unable to progress through to the Duels. With a slim chance of the title still to fight for, the 28-year-old was determined to climb his way through the pack. As Mitch has demonstrated all season, he showcased the race pace of the Jaguar I-TYPE 5 and his talent by carving his way into the points within the first five minutes of the race. A 10-minute safety car halted his progress further and he brought his I-TYPE 5 home in seventh.
Norman Nato, in his debut weekend for Jaguar TCS Racing, lined up sixteenth on the grid after qualifying eighth in Group A. The Frenchman worked his way through the field before dropping back down to finish the race in sixteenth. Sam Bird finished thirteenth in the overall drivers' championship after not being able to compete in the final two rounds in Seoul due to an injury. The Seoul E-Prix season finale was the first two races Sam has missed since the inception of Formula E. At the end of the 100th Formula E race and season eight, Jaguar TCS Racing finish fourth in the teams' world championship with 231 points – the British team's biggest points haul in Formula E.
