The date has been revealed for the next edition of the electrifying UIM E1 World Championship in Monaco, an innovative new water race boasting celebrity-led teams and an energising commitment to sustainability.
Following its successful debut this year, the UIM E1 World Championship is gearing up for its second season of racing, on Friday unveiling event locations across multiple continents that will host the RaceBirds and their celebrity-led teams from January 2025.
New audiences around the globe will witness the thrilling on-water action for the first time, as the championship welcomes new race locations next season, including a race in the United States alongside the Visit Qatar E1 Doha GP announced last month, with more to be revealed shortly. The calendar also includes a return to season-one locations Monaco – from 18th to 19th July, Jeddah – opening the season on 24th and 25th January, and Lake Como – on 22nd and 23rd August.
“To see our revolutionary electric racing series come to life in season one was an incredibly special feeling,” said Rodi Basso, Co-Founder and CEO of E1, in a statement. “E1’s growth and expansion across the globe shows that it has arrived as a truly global sport. The inclusion of new race locations in Qatar and the United States in season two, with more to come, is a testament to the growing interest and investment in the championship and we are looking forward to taking the sport to new audiences.”
The inaugural season wrapped up with NFL legend Tom Brady’s Team Brady being crowned Champions of the Water ahead of the Will Smith-owned Westbrook Racing and Marc Anthony’s Team Miami powered by Magnus.
