Tom Brady's Team Clinches Back-to-Back Titles in Electric Boat Racing Championship
In a thrilling finale to the E1 Series' US debut, Tom Brady's team secured their second consecutive title in electric boat racing, capping off an electrifying season that brought Miami's Biscayne Bay to life as a futuristic racing circuit.
The championship, which saw nine teams competing in identical electric boats called RaceBirds, was marked by high-speed hydrofoiling and precision maneuvering. The winning team, piloted by Emma Kimilรคinen and Tom Brady himself, trailed behind only one point heading into the final showdown, making their victory all the more impressive.
The series, which debuted in the US this year, is essentially Formula 1 on water, but with a cleaner and more futuristic twist. The boats, powered by electric motors that produce a high-pitched turbine-like sound, accelerate to nearly 50 knots (around 60 mph) while "flying" three feet above the surface.
The championship's sustainability mission was also put to the test, with Team Brady committing to remove over 15 tons of plastic from the ocean for every point scored during the season. The team has partnered with 4ocean to achieve this goal, and plans to double their efforts next year.
Tom Brady, a longtime advocate for environmental causes, was instrumental in bringing his team into the series. When asked about the team's approach, he said, "Good is not good enough. In order to win sports, you need to be great. In order to be great, you have to have the determination and drive every single day."
The E1 Series' US debut was a resounding success, with the event drawing a crowd of yacht-club glamour and racing prestige, all while showcasing silent speed machines instead of roaring engines. The partnership between Team Brady and Bombay Sapphire, the series' first-ever spirits partner, added to the festive atmosphere, with bartenders mixing up zesty signature cocktails throughout the weekend.
As for Agag's plans for world domination, it seems he's already plotting his next move. During the Q&A session, he mentioned looking at potential new locations, including New York and San Francisco, as well as exploring a cool race in Lake Tahoe. With Brady's team cementing their place in the series, it's clear that this electric armada is here to stay.
"It's more like flying, to be honest," said Emma Kimilรคinen, who was also instrumental in her team's victory. "You have to watch it happen." And indeed, Miami watched as Brady's team took the checkered flag, with Will Smith's champagne shower confirming what everyone suspected: this electric boat racing championship is a force to be reckoned with.
