MUMBAI: Buckle up, motorsport fans—electric powerboating has arrived, and it’s bringing some serious star power. Once again Fancode solidifies itself as India’s go-to sports streaming platform with the broadcast of the UIM E1 World Championship presented by PIF, the world’s first all-electric powerboating competition. And if high-speed water racing isn’t enough to get you hooked, the team owners certainly will.
This championship isn’t just about speed—it’s about the biggest names in sports, music, and entertainment backing their teams in a battle for aquatic supremacy. Virat Kohli’s Team Blue Rising will hit the waves, joined by LeBron James’ Team AlUla, Steve Aoki’s Aoki Racing Team, and Tom Brady’s Team Brady. Football icon Didier Drogba leads Team Drogba, Latin music sensation Marc Anthony powers Team Miami, and tennis legend Rafael Nadal backs Team Rafa. Hollywood’s own Will Smith takes charge of Westbrook Racing, while Marcelo Claure heads Team Brazil. The line-up is as electrifying as the competition itself.
But the UIM E1 World Championship isn’t just about celebrity-backed teams. This series is breaking boundaries with its commitment to diversity and innovation, featuring mixed-gender pilots selected from disciplines like rally racing, jet ski competitions, and Formula 1. Through the E1 Pilot Academy, these elite racers earn their spot based on raw skill and precision.
The championship takes place in some of the most breathtaking locations on the planet—Jeddah, Miami, Monte Carlo, and Doha—where electric powerboats will slice through the water in a spectacle of speed and sustainability.
Fancode co-founder Yannick Colaco shared his excitement, “We are delighted to bring the UIM E1 World Championship with its cutting-edge electric racing and unique format to sports fans in India. This Championship has already attracted global icons like Kohli, LeBron James, and Rafael Nadal as team owners, and I’m sure fans will enjoy watching exciting racing action at some iconic locations around the world.”
E1 co-founder & CEO Rodi Basso echoed this enthusiasm, “We are delighted to partner with Fancode to bring E1’s thrilling racing on water action live and exclusive to our growing fanbase in India. There is already strong national interest with Virat Kohli’s Team Blue Rising competing as one of nine teams racing in the all-electric on-water Championship.”
