This is the Statt Mann Baby. Time to Scatt a little bit.

Let’s take a break from the tedium of beating on IndyCar and NASCAR.

This week I learned that entertainer Will Smith is getting into the world of motor racing. He’s joining an A List of celebrities in the E1 race boat series.
E1 Will Smith

E1 was in Puerto Banus this weekend. That’s in southern Spain on the Mediterranean coast between Gibraltar and Marabella.

Team Miami owned by singer Marc Anthony won the third event of the season. Team Brazil was second. And Smith’s Westbrook Racing was third.

Other celebrities include Tom Brady whose team won the first two events in Saudi Arabia and Venice. Tom Brady and winning isn’t new, I guess.

Tennis star Rafa Nadal, DJ Steve Aoki, F1 driver Sergio Perez, and former soccer star Didier Drogba all have teams in the series. Will Smith’s Westbrook Racing is named for his global production company.

The slick E1 power boats – called Racebirds – are electric. The series is there to highlight environmental issues around the world. The E1 events are streamed and you can learn more at E1series.com

At least on water no one needs to explain the difference between Black, Red, Green, Alternate and Primary tires. Forget sticker or non-sticker brands.

Peace.
