The second edition of Formula E’s EVO Sessions takes place today at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit in Saudi Arabia.
EVO Sessions is a Formula E-led initiative where influencers and celebrities partner with a Formula E team to be trained as drivers and compete in the Gen3 Evo cars. The event takes place at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit, following Formula E’s Jeddah E-Prix double-header. For this year’s competition, 10 influencers are divided into two teams, Señor Frogs and Quickstars, competing for the 2026 EVO Sessions champion title in a competitive format.
Among the participants are members of the UK-based YouTube group, Sidemen, with Behzinga driving for DS Penske and Vikkstar managing team Quickstars. Notable participants include TikToker Khaby Lame driving for Nissan and Emelia Hartford returning for another season. Each driver is assigned to a Formula E team and has a celebrity or influencer group affiliation.
In case of any crash damage during the event, Formula E itself covers the costs, as confirmed by Jeff Dodds during the Jeddah E-Prix weekend. This ensures that the teams and participants do not have to bear the financial burden of any incidents that may occur on the racetrack. The competitive element and diverse lineup of participants make EVO Sessions an exciting addition to the Formula E calendar, blending entertainment with racing talent in a unique format.
