Jamaican motorsport sensation Sara Misir continued her spectacular debut season in the E1 Series with another commanding performance, steering Team Blue Rising to a second-place finish at the Lagos Grand Prix — the first-ever E1 event held on African waters.
Her result helped propel the team into third place in the overall standings, setting the stage for a dramatic season finale at the Grand Final in Biscayne Bay, Miami, scheduled for November 7–8.
Blazing through Lagos waters
Coming off the momentum of their Monaco Grand Prix victory in July, Misir and teammate John Peeters arrived in Lagos determined to keep their title hopes alive. The pair delivered a near-flawless weekend of racing that kept spectators on their feet from start to finish.
Misir opened the event with a breathtaking charge, slicing her way from P7 to P2 by the chequered flag in her opening race. Her stellar drive secured Peeters a front-row start for the second heat — an opportunity he fully capitalized on, converting it into a dominant win that solidified Team Blue Rising’s shot at the podium.
Consistency meets class
When the final got underway, Misir once again demonstrated the poise and precision that have defined her rookie season. Starting third on the grid, she maintained ra elentless pace and composure to clinch second overall, trailing only Team Brazil by Claure Group, with Team Drogba rounding out the top three.
The Lagos result marked Team Blue Rising’s third consecutive podium finish — following their triumph in Monaco and a third-place result in Italy on June 28. Earlier in the season, they also claimed third in the opener in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Out of six Grand Prix weekends so far, Misir and Peeters have now secured four podiums — a feat that underscores both their rising form and competitive resilience on the international stage.
Eyes on Miami glory
With Lagos behind them, Misir and Peeters have firmly established Team Blue Rising as contenders heading into Miami, where the championship title will be decided.
“It was a really intense race weekend, and I’m proud of how we fought through the field,” Misir reflected. “The team strategy paid off and we’re in a strong position heading into Miami. We can’t wait to give it my all at the Grand Final.”
The upcoming Miami Grand Prix promises high drama and high speed on the sparkling waters of Biscayne Bay — a fitting finale for Misir’s trailblazing debut season. Her success continues to make waves not only in the E1 Series but also for Jamaica’s growing presence in international motorsport.
