Global celebrities taking part include Brooklyn Beckham, soccer star Sergio Agüero, Emelia Hartford, actor Tom Felton, Supercar Blondie and more. Each is learning to master the Formula E race cars on the Miami track.
With Evo Sessions finally underway, the weeks of preparation in the gym, on racing simulators, and with the Formula E driving coach and team engineers will finally pay off.
Each of the 11 celebrity participants has worked with the 11 Formula E racing teams to learn what it takes to compete at the highest level of electric-powered racing in the world. The current Gen 3 Evo chassis used by all Formula E teams is capable of accelerating 30% faster than the current Formula 1 machines. And each of the celebrities will have to navigate their teams' car around the tight and unforgiving Miami International Autodrome as the reward for all their hard work.

The entire journey from rookie-to-racer is being captured to give fans a rare and exclusive behind-the-scenes viewpoint into the high-speed world of Formula E. Viewed from directly behind the wheel, Evo Sessions will showcase what it truly takes to compete at the pinnacle of electric racing.
