E1 Team Monaco falls to fifth in Dubrovnik after technical blow
By Zak Jackson, MonacoViews Editorial
E1 Team Monaco reached their second final of the 2026 UIM E1 World Championship season but were denied a podium finish by technical issues in Croatia.
A promising weekend in Dubrovnik ended in frustration for E1 Team Monaco, who finished fifth at the latest round of the 2026 UIM E1 World Championship. The Monegasque electric racing boat outfit showed genuine pace throughout the Croatian event and earned a place in the final, only for technical problems to cut short any realistic challenge for a place on the podium.
The result marks the team's second final appearance of the season, a sign of steady progress in the all-electric RaceBird series, yet the Dubrovnik outcome will sting given how competitive they looked earlier in the weekend. For a squad carrying Monaco's flag in one of the most closely watched new categories in international motorsport, converting that pace into results remains the immediate priority as the championship continues.
