The World’s Fastest Accelerating Single-Seat Race Car

Pretoria, South Africa – 10 March 2025: Brooklyn Peltz Beckham drove the GEN3 Evo specification Jaguar I-TYPE 7 – the world’s fastest accelerating single-seat race car * – in the Formula E Evo Sessions at Miami International Autodrome on 5-6 March.

Having completed two days of intense training in the UK with Jaguar TCS Racing – the reigning Formula E Teams’ World Champions – Brooklyn drove in two 20-minute sessions around the challenging 2.91km Miami International Autodrome, impressing the team with his ability to learn quickly and his outright speed.

Coached by Jaguar TCS Racing driver, Mitch Evans, Brooklyn drove the same Jaguar I-TYPE 7 in which Mitch took victory in the opening round of the current 2024/2025 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship.

Speaking after his drive, Brooklyn Peltz Beckham said: “Driving the Jaguar I-TYPE 7 here in Miami has been an amazing experience. The performance of the car is incredible, and I’m just so grateful to have been part of the Jaguar TCS Racing team for Formula E Evo Sessions. As a lifelong motorsport fan, to have the opportunity to see what it takes to compete at the top level of the sport is something I’ll never forget – and Mitch Evans has been a great coach!”

James Barclay, Jaguar TCS Racing Team Principal, said: “We’ve been supportive of the Formula E Evo Sessions from the outset – as a concept it’s breaking new ground and bringing Formula E to new audiences. Brooklyn Peltz Beckham has been a perfect fit for the team, he is passionate about our sport and has a very competitive spirit. Overall, his approach has really impressed us.

“He’s come in wanting to understand and learn, and that shone through in the way he drove the Jaguar I-TYPE 7 here in Miami. The latest GEN3 Evo era cars are incredibly fast and complex – but Brooklyn did exactly what we asked of him. His performance was really admirable and honestly an impressive job given his experience. We’re grateful he’s brought his journey with us and what we do as a team to a whole new audience of potential Formula E fans.”

Mitch Evans, Jaguar TCS Racing driver #9, said: “Brooklyn has been great to work with. From the seat-fit at the factory, through time in the simulator to the way he’s approached the sessions here at Miami has been perfect. The Miami International Autodrome is a fast circuit with some big braking zones too – so it’s not easy – but Brooklyn drove my Jaguar I-TYPE 7 really well and his level of progression was impressive. Most of all, I’m happy he enjoyed it and learned a little of what we do as professional drivers.”

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.
