Whether on the cobblestone pavé of Northern Europe or the high alpine passes of the Tour de France, Team Sky‘s race support cars provide crucial assistance to its riders in a vast number of scenarios and races. The Jaguar XF Sportbrake must be prepared for any eventuality, serving as the mobile race HQ for the team, a food and drinks station, wardrobe, rolling hospital and mechanic’s workshop.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, this means the Jaguar XF Sportbrakes carry a vast array of performance support items to cater for the many challenges of pro cycling, from weather and terrain to potential crashes and punctures as well as catering to riders’ nutritional needs and making quick tactical race decisions. ‘Team Sky’s Jaguar XF Sportbrake – Unpacked’ showcases the Jaguar XF Sportbrake’s versatility and excellent load capacity, with a typical ‘Grand Tour‘ race support car’s content being laid out and captured in a high-resolution image.
Accompanying the image is ‘Packed’, a time-lapse film showing the car being packed in preparation to race. View the video here:
