“He’s always running”: Antonio Felix da Costa opens up about his hectic racing life
Antonio Felix da Costa is undoubtedly a very busy man as he juggles Formula E and the World Endurance Championship. The Jaguar TCS driver recently shared a video explaining to fans what keeps him on his toes. The 34-year-old Portuguese driver has just wrapped up the 24 Hours of Daytona and is now heading to Miami for Formula E Round 3 on January 31. Fans were impressed by his work routine and cheered him on on social media.
He explained in Portuguese (translated to English): “One weekend is Formula E, the other weekend is WEC. What is WEC? Another weekend is a yellow and green car in Daytona, so let’s make it easier. To simplify, I essentially do two things, two world championships: the Formula E World Championship and the World Endurance Championship.”
“The World Endurance Championship is where the 24 Hours of Le Mans is included. It’s part of a championship of eight races, which are 6 hours, 8 hours, and 10 hours around the world. In the Formula E World Championship, I’m an official Jaguar driver; I race for Jaguar in Formula E. And this year, in the World Endurance Championship, I’m an Alpine factory driver. You should know that I also race in Formula 1,” he added.
Talking about the 24 Hours of Daytona that he just completed, da Costa said: “I do it in an LMP2, which is an intermediate class. There are the Hypercars and the GTs, and the LMP2 is the intermediate class. I race in car 43. Only this race. I don’t do the whole championship, but this race is so special that when you get an invitation, you have to come and do it.”
“So, after this race here in Daytona, we go straight to Miami for Formula E next weekend. In a month, the WEC starts in Qatar, and we’ll be racing these big cars on big circuits. I can’t complain. See you!” he concluded.
Antonio Felix da Costa will be driving for Jaguar TCS Racing at the Miami E-Prix alongside teammate Mitch Evans. They will be competing at the new Miami International Autodrome on January 31.
