Can entrepreneurs, influencers, and celebrities master electric race cars? Find out now by checking out the Formula E channels or social media sites of the various celebrities and the Formula E teams that trained them for this two-day event at the Miami International Autodrome race track.
Eleven celebs partnered with Formula E teams for weeks before the Miami event. Team coaches and engineers stuck by the personalities as they got in shape in the gym and spent hours in racing simulators. The training led up to sessions in the Gen 3 Evo chassis race cars, which, as a point of reference, can accelerate 30% faster than a Formula 1 car.
Why train celebs and influencers to drive racecars
Formula E focuses on inclusion and sustainability. Training and streaming content involving celebrities working with Formula E teams and learning to drive the race cars is a brilliant way to attract motorsport fan attention and gather support for the values on which Formula E was founded.
Since its inception, Formula E and its partners have been certified as net-zero carbon. They are dedicated to motorsport and passionate about the opportunity to advance sustainability for the betterment of all.
Fans will be able to view the transformations as the celebrities prepare and train to drive the Gen 3 Evo cars. The finale will stream from behind the wheel as the drivers compete at the Miami racetrack.
