Formula E Launches Evo Sessions: Celebrities Experience Elite Electric Racing First-Hand
Formula E is set to introduce a unique motorsports experience, inviting some of the world's most-followed personalities to explore what it takes to become a top Formula E driver. British entrepreneur Brooklyn Peltz Beckham, Argentine soccer legend Sergio Agüero, and US actress Emelia Hartford are among the first confirmed participants. More names and team pairings will be announced soon.
Each personality will join one of the 11 Formula E teams, which include renowned brands like Porsche, McLaren, Jaguar, Nissan, and Maserati. Fans can follow their journeys in real-time through digital content on Formula E's social media channels from March 5-6. A feature documentary capturing all the action will be released in 2025.
The "Evo Sessions" initiative offers 11 personalities from sports, tech, and entertainment a chance to drive the GEN3 Evo electric race cars. This motorsports-first event aims to show what it takes to reach the top of electric racing. Participants will prepare over six weeks before a track event at Miami International Autodrome on March 5-6, 2025.
The event will showcase the GEN3 Evo car's impressive performance, capable of accelerating from 0-60mph in just 1.82 seconds—30% faster than current F1 cars. Participants will also complete familiarization laps to get accustomed to the track layout.
Participants will undergo rigorous training that includes simulator sessions, physical conditioning, driver coaching, hardware customization, and engineering briefings. This program aims to provide an authentic experience of preparing like a world-class racing driver.
The entire journey from novice to racer will be documented for social media content shared across both their own and Formula E's platforms. This offers fans exclusive behind-the-scenes access into the world of Formula E racing.
Expanding Formula E's Reach
Jeff Dodds, CEO of Formula E, expressed excitement about "Evo Sessions," stating: "The initial reaction when I presented the 'Evo Sessions' concept to our teams and partners was, ‘this is wild!’– which is when I immediately knew we had to bring it to life." He emphasized that this initiative aims to give audiences a unique perspective into Formula E through popular online personalities.
Formula E is rapidly growing as a motorsport series with a goal of reaching half a billion fans by 2030. Collaborating with well-known figures helps attract new audiences and expand its fanbase globally.

His participation highlights the appeal of this unique opportunity for those passionate about racing.
The remaining five participants and their team pairings will be revealed in upcoming weeks via Formula E's social media channels. This ongoing announcement strategy keeps fans engaged as they anticipate more details about this exciting event.
