Jaguar has teamed up with four world-famous drag queens to make an online mini-series where they go head to head, drag racing some Jaguar I-PACEs all in the name of raising money for LGBTQ+ charities. That\u2019s right, they\u2019ve managed to turn a simple play-on-words into an entire mini-series but hey, we\u2019ll forgive them as it\u2019s all for a good cause.This friendly competition has been put together to celebrate the longstanding relationship between Attitude magazine and Jaguar. Jaguar has sponsored Attitude at the Virgin Attitude Awards for the last four years. The awards themselves are designed to celebrate the talent that supports or is a part of the LGBTQ+ community and names such as Sam Smith, Taron Egerton and Christine and the Queens were on the carpet at the event just gone.The four drag queens in Jag Race are CortneyAct, Peppermint, The Vivienne and Miss Tickle. The hostess of the show isChannel 4\u2019s Drag SOS star, Cheddar Gorgeous.

In heat 2, we\u2019re introduced to the other twoqueens that are participating, Peppermint and Miss Tickle. Peppermint was thefirst openly trans woman to enter RuPaul\u2019s drag race which caused controversyand had fans debating whether trans women should be allowed to compete in adrag competition. The American queen ended up placing 2nd in the competition asa runner up to Sasha Velour.Miss Tickle, first name: Tess, is well known in the UK as a comedic impersonator and drag queen.
