Tom Brady, Marc Anthony to compete in international speedboat races. Info about E1 Series

The international E1 Series, or electric powerboat races, are coming up, and two (very recognizable) celebrities from Florida will compete.

Tom Brady, the GOAT of pro football, and Grammy Award-winning singer Marc Anthony each have a team in the electric speedboat races, Team Brady and Team Miami, respectively.

"How can you be so powerful and elegant and sexy at the same time?" In an Instagram video, that's how Anthony described the RaceBird, the sleek, futuristic electric powerboats in the E1 Series. "Racing's been around forever. E1 is bringing the electric revolution to the water. It's a new fight. It's a new challenge. I'm bringing electric racing to Miami. Get ready. I'm not playing."

Brady brought his trademark winning attitude to promote his team: "We race to win," the seven-time NFL Super Bowl champion said in an Instagram Reel. "We're here to write history and become champions on the water."

The inaugural world championship E1 Series features seven races and runs February to November. Aside from Brady and Anthony, there are six other teams (see below). And it looks as if the trashtalk has already started: "To be competing against the biggest names, I'm most looking forward to competing with their egos," Anthony said on Instagram. "All of us are competitive, handling pressure. I've dominated it over the years, but so hasTom Brady, so has (Steve) Aoki, so has (Rafael) Nadal, so has Checo (Sergio Perez)."
