E1 Series

The UIM E1 World Championship, presented by PIF, is the world’s first electric on-water racing series—a sport and entertainment platform built to electrify change in marine industries. E1 blends cutting-edge sustainability with premium live events in iconic cities, showcasing all-electric race craft, bold design, and fan-first storytelling.

E1 is also a true gender-parity sport: every team fields mixed-gender pilots who compete on equal terms—no legacy advantage from prior powerboat experience. That inclusivity is supercharged by celebrity-backed ownership: teams linked with global stars such as Steve Aoki, LeBron James, Virat Kohli, Tom Brady, Marcelo Claure, Didier Drogba, Marc Anthony, Rafael Nadal, and Will Smith bring new audiences to the water and spotlight ocean stewardship.

On the water, expect tight sprint racing and dramatic head-to-head duels from squads including Team AlUla, Westbrook Racing, Blue Rising, Team Brazil, TD and more—featuring pilots like Mashael AlObaidan & Dani Clos, Catie Munnings & Rusty Wyatt, Sara Misir & John Peeters, Emma Kimiläinen & Sam Coleman, Marit Strømøy & Timmy Hansen, Oban Duncan & Micah Wilkinson, Anna Glennon & Erik Stark, Cris Lazarraga & Tom Chiappe, Lucas Ordoñez & Sara Price.
