The E1 Series concluded its second season with a tightly contested finale in Miami, where Team Brady claimed the championship for the second year in a row. The event – presented by the Public Investment Fund (PIF) – brought together teams from across the world, including Saudi Arabia\u2019s own Team AlUla Championed by LeBron James, and Team Aioki with Saudi pilot Mashael Al Obaidan, one of the Kingdom’s most visible female sports figures.<\/span><\/p>

For Saudi Arabia, participation in the world\u2019s first electric powerboat championship reflects parallel priorities: diversifying the Kingdom\u2019s sporting portfolio, advancing clean marine technology, and promoting environmental awareness through high-visibility international events. With Jeddah set to return as the 2026 season opener, the relationship between E1 and the Kingdom is expected to deepen further.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Series Growth Reflected in Miami Finale<\/b><\/h3>

E1 Co-founder and Chairman Alejandro Agag described the Miami event as a milestone that demonstrates how quickly the championship has evolved since its launch. Speaking from London, Alejandro told The Saudi Times :<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u201cThe Miami race was really the highest, best event we’ve had so far,\u201d Alejandro said. \u201cIt was a fantastic end to season two and it showed the huge potential of E1 that can bring fantastic racing and high-end events to cities around the world.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The Miami finale was also the platform to announce team expansion with the confirmation of a new team, Team Sierra, owned by the Ozmen family, which will join the grid for 2026.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Alejandro reflects that the growth is set to continue:<\/span><\/p>

\u201cIn 2026 we can expect new teams, some new venues, more and better racing and more excitement,\u201d he said. \u201cWe will continue our efforts in marine conservation, expanding into coral restoration, Posidonia oceanica work, beach cleanups and other activities. And of course, we will keep developing technologies that make mobility on the water cleaner.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

PIF\u2019s Role as Presenting Partner<\/b><\/h3>

PIF has been the championship\u2019s principal backer since its inception, a point Alejandro underscored when asked what \u201cPresented by PIF\u201d signifies for E1.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

\u201cPIF is our key partner and our main backer,\u201d he said. \u201cThey made possible the creation and start of the E1 Championship, and since then they’ve always supported it. We couldn\u2019t have a better partner.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

The Fund\u2019s involvement aligns with its broader investment in \u201csport with purpose\u201d – initiatives that combine entertainment with long-term environmental or technological objectives.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Scientific Leadership and Environmental Innovation<\/b><\/h3>

Environmental research and scientific leadership remain central to E1\u2019s mission, guided by Professor Carlos Duarte, the championship\u2019s chief scientist and a leading global marine biologist. Duarte, who spent more than a decade at KAUST University and continues to work closely with Saudi marine research programs, said Season Two delivered measurable progress in integrating environmental action with elite sport.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cI have seen positive change,\u201d Carlos told The Saudi Times whilst in Miami. \u201cLessons learned from previous experiences guided an improved strategy to maximize impact through partnerships and direct engagement with teams. They now compete not just for speed but for positive impact on aquatic ecosystems through the Blue Impact Championship.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Ahead of the Miami finale, E1 organised, along with other entities, a Blue Impact Summit at Florida International University, bringing together scientists, policymakers, investors and sports leaders to discuss emerging strategies for ocean resilience. The event focused particularly on \u201cHope for Corals,\u201d highlighting global conservation models and the ecosystems most likely to withstand climate stress. The topic carries specific relevance for Saudi Arabia: northern Red Sea corals, especially those along the Saudi coastline, are projected to be among the last surviving coral systems globally due to their unusually high tolerance for heat.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Carlos said E1\u2019s structure – which includes a competition for teams to deliver measurable ecological impact – has already produced tangible benefits.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cI have seen positive change,\u201d he said. \u201cLessons learned from previous experiences guided an improved strategy to maximize impact through partnerships and direct engagement with teams. They now compete not just for speed but for positive impact on aquatic ecosystems through the Blue Impact Championship.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

He added that Saudi Arabia is well positioned to use sport as a tool for environmental engagement.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cSports is a huge unifier and mobilizer in Saudi Arabia and globally,\u201d he noted. \u201cPIF is the main investor in sports with purpose. This is visionary, rooted in Vision 2030, which seeks to diversify the economy and deliver a vibrant society. Sport is the hinge connecting both goals.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Looking ahead to 2026, Carlos said planning is underway for a major initiative in Saudi Arabia.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cWe are starting to plan a Blue Economy Summit that will set in motion an ambitious strategy for a regenerative blue economy – one that generates wealth and quality jobs while improving ocean health.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Saudi Arabia\u2019s Growing Role Through SWSDF<\/b><\/h3>

The Saudi Water Sports & Diving Federation (SWSDF), led by HRH Prince Sultan bin Fahd bin Salman Al Saud, oversees the Kingdom\u2019s involvement in the series. Saudi Arabia has hosted E1 since its launch, with Jeddah becoming a recurring venue.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

The Saudi Times asked Prince Sultan on his views on behalf of the Federation on E1 as both a sporting and educational platform.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

\u201cWe look forward to hosting another global event that brings people from all over the world together,\u201d he said. \u201cMore importantly, it is a platform to explore how we can use technologies developed through racing to sustain the environment.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

He added that the series contributes to several aspects of Vision 2030, particularly community engagement and environmental protection.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

\u201cVision 2030 highlights the environment and the need to change best practices across leisure, sport and business,\u201d he said. \u201cE1 is a perfect example that you don\u2019t need internal combustion or pollutant sports to have great action. You can have excitement while keeping the environment in mind.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Impact on Public Perception and Youth Participation<\/b><\/h3>

Prince Sultan said that since Saudi Arabia began hosting E1, the Federation has observed a shift in public interest in sport.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cWe\u2019ve seen a massive positive impact,\u201d Prince Sultan said. \u201cMany people now watch the races regularly. Viewers have pointed out that it\u2019s one of the few racing sports where you can see the entire track in front of you, which helps engagement.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

He also noted that the electric nature of the sport has contributed to changing perceptions around sustainable technology.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Youth interest has also grown, aided by the visibility of teams, the design of the boats and the increasing number of international athletes associated with the sport.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

\u201cTeam identity and design help start conversations about environmental responsibility,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s a good entry point to introduce young people to sustainability concepts.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Looking Ahead to Jeddah 2026<\/b><\/h3>

With Season Two complete, the championship now turns its attention to preparations for the 2026 championship opener in Jeddah. For the Kingdom, the event is an opportunity to combine competitive sport, technology, tourism and environmental programming into a single international platform.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Team AlUla Championed by LeBron James and Saudi pilot Mashael Al Obaidan are expected to continue playing a visible role as the sport evolves and new teams – including Team Sierra – join the grid.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

The combined focus on competition, innovation and ecological responsibility ensures that Saudi Arabia\u2019s involvement in E1 will remain central to both the championship and its wider goals of promoting sustainable marine mobility and supporting initiatives that support the very ecosystems that make the sport possible.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>
