The E1 World Championship, or the E1 Series, is the first-ever all-electric race boat championship sanctioned by the Union Internationale Motonautique (UIM), the world governing body of powerboating. The championship promotes sustainable and electrifying motorsport on water and aims to protect coastal areas by transitioning to clean racing techniques.
The competition features futuristic RaceBird vessels that are designed for speed and efficiency. These powerboats use hydrofoil technology to skim above the water's surface. There are 9 diverse teams representing different countries in the competition.
