Team Monaco chases E1 podium at home race this weekend
By Zak Jackson, MonacoViews Editorial
Team Monaco races on home water at the Yacht Club de Monaco on 17, 18 July as the UIM E1 World Championship's all-electric powerboats return to the Principality.
Friday and Saturday bring one of the more compelling fixtures in Monaco's sporting calendar, with the UIM E1 World Championship touching down at the Yacht Club de Monaco for its Monaco round. The all-electric powerboat series has built a reputation for close, fast racing in tight harbour settings, and Port Hercule provides a fitting backdrop.
Team Monaco lines up with two pilots: Maxime Nocher and Oban Duncan, who joined the E1 grid as its youngest competitor. Racing for the home team in front of a Monaco crowd adds an extra dimension to what is already a significant round in the season standings, with the team targeting a podium finish as part of a sustained push through the second half of the championship.
