This year, the inaugural eSkootr Championship came to Printworks, becoming the world’s first micromobility racing series. The event, on 14 May, contained all the pulls of motoracing: high speeds, world-class engineering and athleticism. But there is an important difference. It is a sport that is dedicated to sustainability, creating more environmentally friendly, safer cities. Designed for the future, the world of eSkootr also rethinks what racing events should look like. At Printworks, the track wound through the indoor warehouses and out through the container yards: a custom designed industrial–urban hybrid track.
The racing was cheered on by a live crowd, who enjoyed great food, drinks and a live music event with performances from Lady Leshurr, Anz and DJ La La. The racing reached even larger audiences through live streaming: it was watched internationally and available in the UK on the BBC. We’re thrilled to have helped launch the Championship to new audiences, as the sport wheels its way towards a more sustainable future.
