Marc Anthony’s Team Miami to Host Electrifying E1 World Championship in November

Mark your calendars: the E1 World Championship electric powerboat race is arriving in Miami on November 7-8. This will mark one of the most anticipated events of the year for fans of speed, sustainability, and celebrity-powered sport. Tickets go on sale September 24 at 12 PM. Team Miami, co-owned by Latin music star Marc Anthony, will be one of the competitors in this stunning new wave of water racing.

Here’s everything you need to know.

What Is the E1 Series?

• Full name: UIM E1 Series (or E1 World Championship). It’s an all-electric offshore powerboat racing series, using hydrofoil craft (“RaceBirds”) that lift off the water to reduce drag and boost efficiency.
• Founders: The idea came from Rodi Basso (former Formula One engineer) and Alejandro Agag (who also founded Formula E and Extreme E), in partnership with others.
• Goals: To blend cutting-edge marine tech, sustainability (zero emissions), gender balance (female & male pilots share driving duties) and high-profile locations.

The inaugural season was in 2024. Team Brady won the first UIM E1 World Championship.

Where Has E1 Raced — and Where It’s Going

E1 is global, with races staged in major waterfront cities (or ones willing to host). Some race locations past and future include:

These locations are chosen not just for spectacle, but also to showcase innovation in marine tech, environmental consciousness, and iconic waterfronts. The Miami race will be held on Virginia Key, next to the historic Miami Marine Stadium.

Celebrity and Star-Power: Who Owns E1 Teams?

One of E1’s key draws is its roster of celebrity owners and high-profile figures. Having famous names helps boost visibility, attract sponsors, media coverage, and also reflects the crossover between sport, entertainment, and sustainable tech. Here are some of the owners and teams:

Each team fields two pilots (one male, one female) per race, who share driving duties across sessions.

Tickets: When, Where, and What to Know

• On-sale date: September 24 at 12 PM EST
• Where: Through official E1 ticketing partners — likely via E1’s website or Miami-specific pages. For example, the Miami GP has a waitlist page on FeverUp.
• Pricing expectations: According to Robert Jakobi (co-founder of Team Miami), tickets should be more affordable than a typical Formula 1 event.
• Ticket types: Expect general admission, VIP options, likely reserved seating near the water, plus extras like paddock or behind-the-scenes access. (Some of this will depend on what the organizers reveal nearer to the date.)

Why This Matters: Beyond the Racing

This event isn’t just about speed. It’s part of several larger trends:

1. Sustainability in Motorsport – E1 pushes electric power, cleaner tech, and reduced environmental impact. Clean energy on water is a newer frontier compared to cars.
2. Gender equality – Each team fields one female and one male pilot. That’s built into the structure.
3. Celebrity & global culture – Having big names gets people talking, makes for crossover appeal (music, entertainment, sports), helps spread awareness of new technologies.
4. City branding & tourism – Hosting the event gives Miami another high-profile international event, leveraging its coastline, climate, existing infrastructure, and appeal.
