The additions to the Evo Sessions line-up are:

- Tom Felton, actor (UK)
- Supercar Blondie, automotive creator and entrepreneur (AUS)
- JUCA, Leading automotive content creator and motorsports enthusiast (MEX)
- Driver 61, pro driver and creator (UK)

They join a star-studded group of previously announced personalities, including Brooklyn Peltz Beckham, Sergio Agüero, Emelia Hartford, Cleo Abram, Lucien Laviscount, and Vinnie Hacker, with driver and team pairings revealed over the coming weeks.

Brooklyn Peltz Beckham kicked off the driver-team pairing announcements: Beckham will be joining Jaguar TCS Racing, driving the race-winning Jaguar I-TYPE 7 and receiving coaching from Jaguar TCS Racing driver, Mitch Evans.

Actor Tom Felton said: “I’ve grown up loving wheels my entire life. From my dad teaching me to ride a bicycle to putting my first poster up on my bedroom wall of a supercar. When I learned to drive a car it was the most liberating experience I’ve ever had. Better than a broomstick even.

“From my dad teaching me to feather a clutch in our 1979 Ford Fiesta which he had taught my three older brothers to drive in, to driving my first sports car.

“Nothing could compare to the excitement I have to actually be seated in the driver’s seat of arguably the most exciting vehicle on four wheels on the planet. I know it needs a fifth wheel to steer and I am beyond thrilled to be given the opportunity to do so.

"I’ll play it cool on the day obviously but my inner nine-year-old self will be screaming with joy the moment I get even close to the Formula E car - let alone get to actually drive one! It’ll be a pinch myself, dream-come-true moment and I will make the most of every second.”

Automotive creator and entrepreneur, Supercar Blondie, said: “I’ve driven some of the most incredible cars in the world, but getting behind the wheel of a Formula E GEN3 Evo will be an experience on a whole new level.

"The pro drivers are incredibly skilled and the cars are beyond fast, so I’m looking forward to learning just what it takes to be a Formula E driver and bring my audience along for the ride. I’ll likely be the slowest Formula E driver ever, but I’ll definitely have fun behind the wheel!”

JUCA: Mexico’s Automotive YouTube Sensation Joins Evo Sessions

One of Latin America’s most influential automotive content creators, JUCA has built a massive following through his passion for cars, thrilling test drives, and deep knowledge of motorsports. With millions of subscribers and a dedicated community, he has redefined car culture for a new generation of enthusiasts.

JUCA said: "Cars have been my world for as long as I can remember, and getting to drive the GEN3 Evo is something I never imagined would happen. Seeing this machine in action at the Mexico City E-Prix was already mind-blowing, but actually getting behind the wheel? That’s next level.

"Formula E represents the future of racing, and I can’t wait to experience the raw power, precision, and adrenaline of this sport firsthand – and, of course, share every moment with my audience!"

What is Formula E Evo Sessions?

Over the next six weeks - ahead of the track event at the Miami International Autodrome (Hard Rock Stadium) on 5-6 March 2025 - a carefully curated collective of 11 of the world’s most-followed and popular personalities, comprising actors, athletes and content creators with a combined reach of over 300 million, will be paired and embedded within Formula E’s elite race teams and drivers as part of their preparations.

All participants will receive an intense training programme that includes simulator sessions, physical conditioning, driver coaching, hardware customisation and engineering briefings. They will experience first-hand just how tough and complicated it is to prepare, train and drive like a world-class racing driver.

In the two-day event they will have prepared for, they will experience the breathtaking performance of the all-new GEN3 Evo race car on the track, capable of 0-60mph/100 kph in just 1.82s - 30% faster than a current F1 car - as well as take part in a number of familiarisation laps to accustom themselves to the altered track layout.

The entire journey from rookie-to-racer will be captured for social-first content, through the creators’ lens, and shared across their and Formula E's social media channels. The whole experience will offer fans a rare and exclusive behind-the-scenes, access-all-areas viewpoint into the world of Formula E, not from the perspective of the grandstands, but directly behind the wheel. It will showcase what it truly takes to compete at the pinnacle of electric racing, with a feature-length documentary coming later in 2025.
