Miami E-Prix: Driver lineup, key facts about Homestead-Miami Speedway, and the latest updates from the 2024�?5 Formula E World Championship

The Miami E-Prix in Florida is set to bring the Homestead-Miami Speedway alive with the ultra fast electric race cars—combining high-octane entertainment with sustainability. As Formula E returns to this iconic circuit after a decade-long hiatus, race enthusiasts are eagerly anticipating high-speed action at the picturesque venue. Will Nissan’s Oliver Rowland and NEOM McLaren’s Taylor Barnard continue their season dominance at Miami, or will Jaguar TCS Racing’s Mitch Evans rise to the occasion with a win on U.S. soil? Only time will tell.
Interesting facts about Homestead-Miami Speedway
The Miami E-Prix is one of only two single-header races remaining this season. The other is in Jakarta on June 21. Homestead-Miami Speedway is the fifth different venue in the USA to host a Formula E race—more than any other country.
Saturday’s race will also mark the 137th race in Formula E history, and the 37th in the Gen3 Evo era. The new Gen3 Evo cars can hit 322 km/h and accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 1.86 seconds—faster than a Formula 1 car.

All about the ongoing Formula E World Championship
Interestingly, the winning margin in the final race of each weekend has been steadily increasing with 0.099s in Sao Paulo, 0.125s in Mexico and 0.286s and 0.439s in the Jeddah double header.
Meanwhile, the polesitter has finished on the podium in the last three races, in stark contrast to the previous stretch where only 2 polesitters reached the podium in 12 races.
When it comes to qualifying, Oliver Rowland and Maximilian Günther are the only drivers to have reached the duel stages in every round this season. In contrast, Nick Cassidy, David Beckmann, Nico Müller, Robin Frijns, Zane Maloney, Sébastien Buemi, and Lucas di Grassi have yet to reach the duels.
Records on the line at Miami
NEOM McLaren is guaranteed a record no matter which of its drivers wins in Miami. If Taylor Barnard takes the checkered flag, he will become the youngest winner in Formula E history. And if Sam Bird wins, he will become the oldest Formula E race winner.
The race is also set to be a special one for Edoardo Mortara of Mahindra Racing, who is set to make his 100th career Formula E start.
