Brooklyn Peltz Beckham joins forces with Formula E Teams’ World Champions, Jaguar TCS Racing, for Formula E’s exhilarating new event – Evo Sessions.
A new, social media-first project – Formula E Evo Sessions is an exclusive, never-been-done-before motorsport experience for some of the world’s most high-profile personalities to see what it takes to be an elite Formula E racing driver.
Over the next month, Brooklyn will undergo one-on-one coaching from Jaguar TCS Racing driver and multiple race winner, Mitch Evans, in preparation for driving the race-winning Jaguar I-TYPE 7.
Before taking the wheel of the world’s fastest accelerating FIA single-seat race car, Brooklyn will participate in a rigorous training programme with the Jaguar team that includes simulator sessions, physical conditioning, driver coaching and engineering briefings.
The day after his 26th birthday, on the 5 March at the Miami International Autodrome, the British entrepreneur will drive the Jaguar I-TYPE 7 for the very first time.
Brooklyn Peltz Beckham, said:
“I’ve loved motorsport all my life, so when the opportunity came to be a part of Evo Sessions with Formula E and Jaguar, I jumped at the chance. I love it as a sport, but it’s an incredible opportunity to actually get behind the wheel and experience what it takes to compete at the top level of motorsport. The performance of the cars is insane, so I’m pleased I’ll be learning from the current Teams’ World Champions, Jaguar and from multiple race-winner Mitch Evans in how to get the most out of the
I-TYPE 7. It’s an incredibly exciting opportunity and one I’m looking forward to sharing.”
James Barclay, Jaguar TCS Racing Team Principal, said:
“Since Formula E’s Jeff Dodds suggested the idea of Evo Sessions, at Jaguar TCS Racing we’ve been incredibly supportive of making it happen. Formula E is always pushing the boundaries of technology and innovation and to create an event like this – for the fans and for the personalities involved – is another example of how Formula E is breaking new ground."
“We’re really excited to be partnered with Brooklyn Peltz Beckham for this project and I’m really looking forward to giving him first-hand insight to the team and the Jaguar I-TYPE 7. As one of the world’s leading racing drivers, Mitch Evans will be a fantastic coach to help Brooklyn get up to speed with our race car to give him the best experience possible of what the pinnacle of electric racing is.”
