August 22-23, 2025
The E1 Lake Como GP will take place on August 22-23, 2025 in Cernobbio as part of the UIM E1 World Championship, the world’s first all-electric raceboat Championship. The high-octane racing series will anchor in the stunning waters of Lake Como, hosted by Villa d’Este.
Lake Como, an Italian natural wonder, will be the battleground for E1’s nine teams vying to become Champions of the Water. Guests and spectators will experience the drama from the grounds of the luxurious Grand Hotel Villa d’Este.
Villa d’Este will join E1 in providing greater education and conference opportunities as part of the Championship’s flagship sustainability initiative. The Blue Impact Programme sees E1 collaborate with host cities, partners, NGOs and scientists to address coastal habitat issues through knowledge transfer meetings, panels and workshops.
E1 is quickly asserting itself as a playground for the rich and famous, as Lake Como joins iconic destinations including Monaco, Venice and Puerto Banús as a host city in its debut season. The series’ celebrity appeal is being powered by its megastar team owners from the world of sport, entertainment, and business, including Will Smith, Rafael Nadal, and Tom Brady.
