Team Monaco has secured its first victory in the UIM E1 World Championship, delivering a landmark performance at the Miami Grand Prix and moving into third place in the overall standings ahead of the season’s final race…
The triumph came courtesy of Monegasque driver Maxime Nocher and his teammate Oban Duncan, whose impressive speed and consistency rewarded months of preparation in their debut season.
Nocher described the victory as the culmination of the team’s hard work, having arrived in Miami outside the championship’s leading positions. With second place still mathematically possible, the team remains determined to finish the season strongly.

Launched in 2024, the E1 championship combines competitive racing with the development of sustainable marine technology. Its fully electric RaceBird boats use hydrofoils to lift their hulls above the water, reducing drag, noise and energy consumption.
The championship has expanded to ten teams competing across seven rounds, attracting international sporting figures including LeBron James and Rafael Nadal as team owners.
Beyond racing, E1 encourages environmental initiatives, from marine restoration to promoting sustainable coastal development.
For Team Monaco, the Miami victory represents both a sporting breakthrough and a fitting achievement in a competition closely aligned with the Principality’s longstanding commitment to ocean conservation.
