The UIM E1 World Championship, the all-electric raceboat series, has announced the relaunch of its Pilot Academy.

The program is designed to identify new pilots—from various racing backgrounds and disciplines—for the series' 2025 season. Selected racers will be given the opportunity to compete aboard the RaceBird, E1’s electric raceboat, and will undergo trials overseen by powerboating figures Mathilda Wiberg and Claire Toohey.

E1 regulations mandate that each team must select two pilots of different genders. The structured training program will include instruction on safety, media, and fitness training, as well as hands-on experience driving various types of boats. Successful candidates will join the 'pilot pool,' from which teams will select their lineups.

Applications for the E1 Pilot Academy are now open.
