UIM E1世界選手権のチーム・ブレイディ、E1開幕戦で久々の勝利
All racing competition series begin with an idea, a form of a racing template or platform, and eventually place their calculations on the field of play and have at it. The E1 Electric Boat Racing League is no different.
After over two years (Racebird displayed at CES 2022) of development, concept evolution, formation of both the nature of the competition and the team structure/formation, and setting of a schedule (that had delays) that includes seven event weekends throughout 2024.
イベント・ウィークエンド1（サウジアラビアのジッダ）は、2月2日（金）に予選、2月3日（土）に決勝が行われた。このイベントは、CBSスポーツ（北米）とITV（英国／欧州）の両テレビ局が初年度のテレビ放送パートナーとして放映することが発表された。残念なことに、検索してみたところ、生中継やディレイ放送が行われたという証拠は存在しなかった。この記事が作成された時点で、ヨーロッパと中東発の記事に投稿された動画はすべて、北米では表示されないようにブロックされていた。

On the final day of racing, the team owned by American Football legend Tom Brady staged an impressive comeback to beat day-one leaders Team Miami, owned by singer-songwriter Marc Anthony.
The winning margin was almost 20 seconds with Team Brady clocking in a time of 6.58.51.
Team Miami finished in second, while Kohli’s Blue Rising took third place.
Kimilainen and Coleman revealed their delight at the victory in the first round and looked forward to continuing their winning spirit in the upcoming round.
