A quick calendar correction: the Miami Book Fair’s official schedule lists its 2026 Street Fair for November 20–22, not November 6–8. As of November 9, the fair has not wrapped.
Another major Miami event is closer. The E1 Series brings its championship finale to Biscayne Bay on November 13–14, with two rounds at the Miami Seaplane Base on Watson Island. The stakes are clear: Team Brady leads the official standings by 40 points, but the title is not decided yet.
South Florida Digest previously included the E1 race in its guide to the busy November 13–15 event weekend. Here’s the championship picture and what to watch as the boats return to Miami.
Two rounds, one championship weekend
The E1 Series lists Miami as the season’s final stop and its first doubleheader. Round 6 is scheduled for Friday, November 13, and Round 7 for Saturday, November 14. The Miami & Miami Beach event listing places the racing around the Miami Seaplane Base on Watson Island, between downtown Miami and South Beach.
Two rounds mean two opportunities to earn points in the championship’s final weekend. E1’s official results table shows Team Brady on 157 points and Westbrook Racing by Visit Angola on 117. Team Brady’s advantage is 40 points. Aoki Racing Team is third with 86.

Can Westbrook close the gap?
The championship fight centers on whether Westbrook can make up ground across both races. Team Brady enters as the leader, but its margin is not a title guarantee. The remaining points on offer across the doubleheader give the second-place team a chance to apply pressure.
There is a recent reason Team Brady holds the advantage. The official standings award it 38 points for the Luanda round, compared with seven for Westbrook. That result helped widen the gap before the season finale. E1’s season-opening team announcement identifies Sam Coleman and Emma Kimiläinen as Team Brady’s pilots and says the pair won the previous two titles.
Tom Brady’s team is chasing another championship, while Westbrook Racing by Visit Angola, owned by Will Smith, is the closest challenger in the published standings. The outcome will depend on what happens on the water in both Miami rounds, not simply on the points entering the weekend.
A different kind of race on Biscayne Bay
E1’s boats are purpose-built electric hydrofoils. The Miami event listing describes the RaceBirds as 24-foot aluminum boats that rise above the water on hydrofoils. That design gives the series a distinctive look on Biscayne Bay, where the race course sits against a distinctly urban waterfront backdrop.
The Miami setting is part of the appeal, but the key storyline remains the championship. For local spectators, the weekend offers a chance to see the series’ final two rounds in person and watch whether the standings leader can convert its points advantage into the season title.

What spectators should know
The two race days are Friday and Saturday, November 13–14, at the Miami Seaplane Base, 1000 MacArthur Causeway, according to Miami & Miami Beach. The tourism bureau’s listing describes a program that moves from group stages through finals and podium ceremonies, while noting that times may change. Check the official E1 Miami page or event listing before setting out for current schedule and ticket details.
This is not the Miami E-Prix, the Formula E event previously held at Hard Rock Stadium. The E1 finale is an electric powerboat championship on Biscayne Bay, with its own teams, pilots and title race.
As the weekend approaches, the story is simple: Team Brady arrives with a 40-point lead, Westbrook is its closest challenger, and two Miami rounds remain. The season’s last races will decide whether the championship leader can finish the job on home waters.
