UIM E1 世界锦标赛布雷迪车队在首轮 E1 比赛中收获颇丰
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.
第一周末赛事--沙特阿拉伯吉达--于 2024 年 2 月 2 日至 3 日举行，资格赛于 2 月 2 日星期五举行，比赛于 2 月 3 日星期六举行。赛会发布公告称，哥伦比亚广播公司体育频道（北美）和英国国际电视总公司（ITV）将作为首届赛事的最新电视合作伙伴对赛事进行转播。遗憾的是，经过快速搜索，没有任何证据表明直播或延时转播已经开始。在本文撰写之时，任何在欧洲和中东地区的文章中发布的视频都被禁止在北美地区播放。

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.
Asked by Arab News how Tom Brady reacted to their victory, Kimilainen said: “We’ve already had a message through from Tom and he’s super happy with the win. Both Sam and I are so incredibly proud to represent Tom and we’re pleased we were able to make history at E1’s inaugural race.”
Prince Sultan bin Fahd bin Salman Al-Saud, chairman of the Saudi Water Sports and Diving Federation, said at the end of the race: “We are very happy to host the first round of the E1 series, and believe me it is a success.”
Meanwhile, Saudi rally driver Masahel Al-Obaidan, the lead pilot of Aoki Racing — which came in at seventh place — was happy to get her first experience of racing on water under her belt.
“It is been a great experience and I am so glad to represent my country,” she said.
