The 2026 E1 Series World Championship, dedicated to electric racing boats, officially resumed in Jeddah (Saudi Arabia) with the first episode of what promises to be a particularly competitive season.
This new edition brings together 10 teams, including two completely new formations. Among them, Team Monaco, supported by the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation and the Monaco Yacht Club, made its first official appearance on the international stage.
A highlight of this inaugural event was the personal visit of H.S.H. Prince Albert II to cheer on the Monegasque team during this historic first outing, demonstrating the Principality’s commitment to innovation and sustainable mobility.
For this first event, Team Monaco was represented by drivers Oban Duncan (Great Britain) and Maxime Nocher (Monaco), supported by reserve driver Cyril Lemoine (France). The crew gained valuable experience against well-established competitors and finished this inaugural episode in 9th place (P9) in the rankings.
After Jeddah, the championship will continue in Europe with the next round scheduled for Italy (April) on Lake Como, for the second episode of a calendar that will feature a total of seven events this season.
This is a new and decisive step for Team Monaco, now embarking on a sporting and technological adventure with an eye to the future.
