Jaguar is making a comeback to motorsport via Formula E, having not been directly involved in competitive racing since departing Formula One in 2004.The opportunity for the British manufacturer - which is owned by Indian company Tata Motors to test batteries and drivetrains in an electric series makes Formula E a logical proposition for Jaguar, which is likely to venture into the electric car market in the near future.While many people hold a sceptical view of Formula E, the news that the UK has pledged to stop production of vehicles with any sort of emissions coming from the tailpipe by 2050 shows there is a pressing need to develop alternative solutions for road-going cars.And if Jaguar"s past is anything to go by, there"s no reason they can"t make it work. They won Le Mans several times in the 50s and have enjoyed scores of other successes. One of which of course, was creating some rather lovely racing machinery.With that in mind, there"s no better opportunity to quickly revisit some of those highs
