The international superstar will launch E1 Team Miami and bring the UIM E1 World Championship to Miami in season two
Marc Anthony, the chart-topping, award-winning, highest-selling salsa singer of our time and minority owner of the NFL team the Miami Dolphins, extends his influence into sports ownership, looking to add one more new title to his trophy cabinet: owner of the new E1 Team Miami part of the UIM E1 World Championship. Anthony’s E1 Team Miami will be on the startline at the first ever E1 event next February 2-3, 2024, in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, alongside other 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.
Anthony and his company Magnus are not just entering the racecourse for season one. Magnus is also set to host E1 in the United States in season two, with a dazzling event scheduled for Miami. Beyond the thrilling races, Magnus aims to elevate the E1 experience by organizing a glamorous weekend that includes the renowned fan village, the Acceleration Festival. Attendees can also anticipate a star-studded concert featuring prominent artists. This promises an unforgettable convergence of racing excitement and world-class entertainment.
Beyond the excitement on the racecourse, E1’s commitment to sustainable marine practices aligns seamlessly with Anthony’s dedication to preserving Miami’s waters for future generations. This combination of passion, purpose, and entertainment makes Anthony a perfect fit for E1. Up to ten teams will compete in the inaugural UIM E1 World Championship season, each battling it out to secure the coveted E1 title of Champions Of The Water. Each team will choose two pilots to share driving duties throughout the event, with regulations mandating each team to select a mixed-gender pilot line-up to ensure equal opportunities in the sport.
“I have always been fascinated by all things nautical. Water is the essence of life, and as the human population approaches the limits of what the planet can sustain, it is time to cherish water for the essential value it has as an enabler of life,” Anthony expresses. “I am thrilled to join forces with E1 to welcome to the dawn a new era of competition and a new standard of race excellence, and I am looking forward to embarking on a journey that has never been witnessed before, an era where passion is a given and winning is a must.”
Singer Marc Anthony is one of the most influential musical artists of his time. Born Marco Antonio Muñíz to Puerto Rican parents in New York City, he is the best-selling salsa artist of all time and a true ambassador of Latin music and culture. As he enters his fourth decade as a recording artist, he has dozens of gold and platinum certifications from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), has had 105 No. 1 Billboard hits, racked up more than eight billion views on YouTube, and a total of 15.218 billion streams across all platforms.
Anthony has also established a highly credible acting résumé, with film roles including In the Heights (2021), El Cantante (2006), Man on Fire (2004), In the Time of Butterflies (2001), Bringing Out the Dead (1999), and a starring role in Paul Simon’s The Capeman (1998) on Broadway.
His company, Magnus, with a dual focus on music and sports, quickly became the leading Latin artist and athlete representation company in the United States. He is a minority owner of the Miami Dolphins, is the co-owner of the plant-based leading energy drink brand OCA and has a best-selling watch and jewelry collection with Bulova.
E1 is the world’s first and only all-electric raceboat championship sanctioned by the Union Internationale Motonautique (UIM), which is the international governing body for all powerboating activities. The UIM E1 World Championship was established to create a new, exciting and competitive on-water racing platform based on electric technologies to protect and restore our urban waters and coastal areas.
