Manchester City legend Sergio Aguero is set to trade the football pitch for the racetrack as he begins an intensive training program to become a Formula E racing driver.
The club’s all-time leading goalscorer is one of 11 high-profile figures participating in Formula E’s Evo Sessions, a new initiative designed to put celebrity personalities behind the wheel of some of the world’s fastest electric racing cars.
Among those joining Aguero in the program are Brooklyn Beckham and actor Lucien Laviscount.
Intense Training Ahead of High-Stakes Competition
A Formula E team will pair Aguero with them, and he will undergo a rigorous six-week training camp, which includes:
✅ Simulator sessions
*✅ Engineer briefings
✅ Intensive physical conditioning
Following his preparation, Aguero will take part in a two-day competitive event on March 5 and 6 at Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium, where he will race against fellow celebrities.
Formula E’s cutting-edge Gen3 Evo car is capable of accelerating from 0-60 mph in just 1.82 seconds—a staggering 30% faster than a Formula 1 car.
Aguero to Document His Racing Journey
Aguero will document his transition from football to motorsport and share it across his and Formula E’s social media platforms, culminating in a full documentary set for release in 2025.
Formula E CEO Excited for ‘Evo Sessions’
Formula E CEO Jeff Dodds expressed his enthusiasm for the project, emphasizing its groundbreaking nature in motorsport:
“The initial reaction when I presented the concept of ‘Evo Sessions’ to our teams and partners was, ‘This is wild,’ which is when I immediately knew we had to bring it to life.”
Dodds added that the initiative aims to introduce Formula E to a new, global audience by leveraging the influence of well-known personalities. With an ambitious goal of reaching 500 million fans by 2030, Formula E hopes Evo Sessions will showcase the sport’s cutting-edge technology and the skill required to be an elite racing driver.
For Aguero, this marks a thrilling new challenge beyond football, proving that his competitive drive extends well beyond the pitch.
