WESTBROOK RACING PREPARES FOR THE E1 MIAMI GRAND FINALE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE  – Miami, FL – October 23, 2025 — Westbrook Racing heads to Miami for the final round of the 2025 UIM E1 World Championship, where the season will conclude with the much-anticipated E1 Miami Grand Finale on November 7–8, 2025. The event marks E1’s first-ever race in the United States and will take place along Miami’s Biscayne Bay, with the Miami Seaplane Base providing a spectacular setting for the world’s first all-electric powerboat championship.

After six rounds across three continents, the E1 Championship now reaches its decisive stage. With championship honors still at stake, Miami promises a dramatic end to the 2025 season. For Westbrook Racing, the race represents another opportunity to convert consistent speed into a strong final result. The team’s pilots, Sara Price and Lucas Ordóñez, have shown pace and determination throughout the year, most recently securing their best qualifying performance of the season in Lagos as Westbrook Racing continues to evolve as one of the most technically capable and cohesive teams in the paddock.

In Lagos, Westbrook Racing demonstrated strong performance in challenging conditions. Both drivers managed the unpredictable African waters with precision, earning a hard-fought sixth place overall. “Our organization, strategy, and pace across the season have continued to improve,” said Phil Allen, Team Principal of Westbrook Racing. “The team has worked tirelessly to optimize performance and reliability. Miami is our chance to put everything together and finish the season where we belong — fighting at the front.”  

Beyond the sporting excitement, the E1 Miami Grand Finale will also serve as a world-class platform for business and hospitality. For the first time, E1 is opening exclusive access to hospitality passes for corporate and private guests. Hosted in the Ocean Club Premium Hospitality, attendees will enjoy premium race viewing, gourmet service, access to the paddock and RaceBird boats, and the opportunity to meet E1’s celebrity team owners — including Will Smith, Rafael Nadal, Tom Brady, and Marc Anthony.

“The event is a premium platform that combines innovation, sustainability, and performance,” said Yan Lefort, Commercial & Marketing Director of Westbrook Racing. “Beyond the high-end hospitality experience and exclusive access to celebrities and entertainment, it offers a unique environment for businesses to meet, connect with key decision-makers, and create new opportunities in a truly exceptional setting.”

Hospitality passes are available through TIXR with single-day and weekend access options. Passes can be reserved at : https://www.tixr.com/groups/e1-series-usa/events/e1-miami-gp-152613

The E1 Miami GP will bring together global brands, celebrities, and the world’s top teams for two days of racing, entertainment, and networking. Cirque du Soleil will perform an exclusive show created especially for E1.

As the 2025 season concludes, Westbrook Racing aims to carry its momentum into 2026 with renewed focus on performance. “Miami is the perfect stage to close the season,” added Allen. “It’s a celebration of how far this sport has come and what it stands for — equality, innovation, and connection. We’re proud to be part of it.”

The E1 Miami Grand Finale will take place at the Miami Seaplane Base, 1000 MacArthur Causeway, on November 7–8, 2025.
