Anthony’s E1 Team Miami will be on the start line at the first ever E1 event next February 2-3, 2024, in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, alongside teams owned by some of the world’s biggest celebrity names – among them Tom Brady, Rafael Nadal, Steve Aoki, Sergio Perez, Didier Drogba, and Virat Kohli.
Marc Anthony and his company Magnus are not just entering the racecourse for season 1; they are also set to host E1 in the USA during season 2 (2025), with a dazzling event scheduled for Miami.

As the best in his business, I have no doubt he will bring the same drive to succeed and creativity to his collaboration with E1.”
Beyond thrilling racing, Magnus aims to elevate the E1 experience by organizing a glamorous weekend that includes the renowned fan village, the Acceleration Festival.
