Default Representing Jaguar at the Lonestar Eurofest at Circuit of the Americas

In a sea of Audi, BMW, Merc and Porsche I will be flying the union flag for Jaguar with my XFR. If the weather holds we get to do a couple of parade laps of the Circuit. Strictly no racing but even so, worthy of some video and photos - will add them once I have some.

It's not much fun washing the beast down when it's 100F outside, so I hope someone appreciates I made the effort ;-)

Drive through brushless car wash is what I use when the weather is like that..100 with 78% RH..gave us a heat index of 115 today


Your Jag will do us all proud I'm sure..have fun

For a parade lap we still managed to hit 75mph on the straight. It's a great circuit with some surprises....

Very cool! I hope Jaguar racing comes back to COTA for the Academy. I would be too frustrated to be on COTA and not be able race. Thanks for the pics!

Yep a Jaguar event at the COTA circuit would be fantastic.
