From the pitch to the paddock! The former Footballstar Sergio Agüero is making his exclusive Formula E debut. Trained by world champion Pascal Wehrlein and part of an epic Miami event with top celebs, his journey to becoming Raceborn has only just begun.

The Formula E EVO Sessions

For the first time ever, Formula E is inviting 11 of the world’s most-followed personalities to do the unthinkable - get behind the wheel of the GEN3 Evo, the world’s fastest electric race car, and experience the adrenaline-pumping pinnacle of motorsport from the driver’s seat.

Among the elite is former Manchester City superstar and all-time leading scorer, Sergio Agüero. Retired but far from resigned, the Argentine legend is swapping the pitch for the paddock, determined to go from world-class baller to motorsport star. With the TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team guiding his every turn, he’ll push the limits and conquer a whole new arena. Follow his electrifying journey to becoming Raceborn, leading up to the Formula E Evo Sessions on March 5th and 6th on the @porsche.motorsport Instagram account.

The Kickoff

Sergio Agüero may know racing, but the Porsche 99X Electric is a whole different beast. Over the next few weeks, he’ll train with the TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team, gaining exclusive access to the Porsche Development Center in Weissach — and working alongside some of Porsche’s top Works Drivers.

He’s already completed an intense (but fun) sim-coaching session with Esports Porsche Works Driver Charlie Collins, soaking up every tip and trick. Thanks to his own racing rig at home, Sergio improved fast under Charlie’s guidance.

Next came a special, behind-the-scenes tour at the Porsche Museum’s warehouse that houses some of the greatest motorsport icons in Porsche’s storied history. Current Formula E World Champion Pascal Wehrlein accompanied Sergio on this journey, and the two connected over their shared passion for speed. Pascal will be trackside with Sergio during the Evo Sessions, joined by race engineer Fabrice Roussel, to help guide him every step of the way as he becomes Raceborn.

The Road to Raceborn

Sergio Agüero is ready for the challenge ahead, though there’s still plenty of training and prep before the Evo Sessions. We’re thrilled to follow his transition into motorsports as he discovers what it really takes to drive at the highest level.

With a high-performance athlete like Sergio joining forces with the TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team, the potential for thrilling driving is sky-high — and everyone involved is ready to give it their all.

The Finish Line

All that preparation will come to a head on March 5th and 6th, when Sergio hits the track at the Miami International Autodrome for a series of time attacks. Across two adrenaline-packed days, he’ll unleash the all-new Porsche 99X Electric, which accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just under 2 seconds. It possesses one of the most efficient electric drive trains in the world: roughly half the energy required for a race is generated by the car itself – through brake energy recuperation. . Joining him will be fellow celebrities like Brooklyn Beckham and Lucien Laviscount, all eager to prove their skills behind the wheel.

This showdown sets the stage for the legendary Miami E-Prix on April 12, and you can catch all the action on our social channels. Stay tuned for more content as Sergio continues his journey to become Raceborn.
