Joshua Jerez has been in the racing industry for 11 years after starting karting in Spain at 9 years of age, and recently finishing 8th in the FGPC S3 championship when he was 18. He hasn't slowed down though, and his Spanish background will help him get familiar with the majority of Spanish drivers in the Jaguar garage. Herminio López is a veteran Spanish driver who began his career at 22 driving under the Jaguar Programme, and has remained a stable and competitive racer till the age of 32, where he was invited to represent Jaguar in the SWEC championship. Victor Laurent is a French sensation as he has been in and around the racing industry, and even trialled at Detreville to be an FEPC driver. After the failure however, he remained committed to performing on the biggest stage and has now been gifted an opportunity to drive for Jaguar. Dália Gomes is a Spanish born, Spanish bred athlete who grew up watching López become a national treasure, and thought to herself, 'Why can't I race as well?' So she started training, and at 22 got the call up to drive alongside her idol for Jaguar. Cristian Valero is a GT3 specialist and after spending some time in Italy, wanted to gain some more public recognition so joined Jaguar's training programme alongside Santo De Lorenzo, who then became very good friends with Valero De Lorenzo is the younger, more inexperienced compatriot to Valero but still has had a successful career, finishing 4th in the Panasonic Challenge Cup which led him to becoming a member of Jaguar and getting the last spot in their SWEC lineup
