What Is the E1 Series?

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:

City Season(s) hosted / planned
Jeddah, Saudi Arabia First event (2024) and again in 2025

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:

Team Owner(s) / Champion(s)
Team Miami Marc Anthony, among others
Team Brady Tom Brady
Westbrook Racing Will Smith
Team Blue Rising Virat Kohli
Aoki Racing Team Steve Aoki

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.
