E1 Series

About E1 Series

The E1 Series is the world's first all-electric foiling powerboat racing championship, sanctioned by the Union Internationale Motonautique (UIM). Launched in 2024, it features high-speed races on the RaceBird, a proprietary electric boat designed for sustainability and performance in iconic coastal locations worldwide. Teams and countries are backed by celebrities - each consisting of one male and one female pilot competing in multi-lap formats with qualifying, semis, and finals to promote gender equality and marine innovation.
