Under the guidance of World Champion Pascal Wehrlein, Agüero will drive the Porsche 99X Electric GEN3 Evo Formula E car in Miami's Evo Sessions on 5 & 6 March.

“This is absolutely crazy: from footballer to racing driver in one of the fastest racing cars in the world,” says Agüero. “Every child is familiar with Porsche. The brand represents an iconic heritage, particularly in motorsport.

"I am absolutely delighted and would like to thank everyone involved for this unique opportunity. I want to learn as much as possible on my journey to Miami, and to represent the team as well as possible when we get there.”

Florian Modlinger, Director Factory Motorsport Formula E at Porsche says: “Welcome to the team, Sergio! Training a non-motorsport athlete for such a challenge in such a short time is a huge task for us as a team, but also for him as an athlete.

"The 99X Electric is one of the best Formula racing cars in the world. To drive it demands a lot of respect and meticulous preparation."

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.
