E1’s teams are owned by some of the biggest names in their fields from Tom Brady, Rafael Nadal, Virat Kohli, Didier Drogba and Sergio Pérez in sport to Steve Aoki and Marc Anthony in the world of music and entertainment.
E1’s owners and cities also share the championship’s mission to drive change and make a positive impact on marine mobility.
“I share the pride of everyone at E1 as we announce this spectacular calendar of events for our first season,” said Rodi Basso, CEO and co-founder of E1. “These cities are all world renowned for their cultural, touristic and sporting offerings and will each provide our fans with a unique and unforgettable experience. Our race locations not only will provide a stunning backdrop for our RaceBirds, but they align with our goals of improving the ecosystems in which we race and accelerating marine electrification.”
“The list of names in the Season 1 calendar shows the immense confidence our city stakeholders have in E1 before the first race has even started and there’s still so much more to come from the championship,” added Alejandro Agag, Chairman and co-founder of E1.
