MIAMI E-PRIX RACE WEEK BEGINS: FORMULA E DRIVES IMPACT THROUGH YOUTH PROGRAMS AND LOCAL ENGAGEMENT

Formula E, the world’s most sustainable motorsport, kicked off the Miami E-Prix race week with a dynamic day of community-focused events that spotlighted STEM education, sustainability, food security, and Miami’s vibrant car culture. Tickets are still available HERE

The day began with the Driving Force Workshop Presented by PIF, an immersive STEM and sustainability program that engaged students ages 8–18 in hands-on learning about the future of mobility. In the afternoon, the Better Futures FundCharity Visit in partnership with Sprout Up Miami brought volunteers together to support food security by planting seedlings and assembling nutritious food packs for local communities. Capping off the day was the ABB Electrify Miami Content Capture, a high-octane drag race between a NASCAR vehicle and the all-electric GEN3 Evo, blending motorsport with Miami’s unique car culture.

These activations set a powerful tone for the days ahead as Formula E continues to connect innovation, community, and competition.
