E1 is more than just racing – it is a new global sports platform fusing high-speed action with entertainment. As the sport expands globally to a seven-race calendar this year, BOMBAY SAPPHIRE will elevate the experience by collaborating with some of the world's leading bars and industry figures to create unique, immersive moments for guests — from culturally inspired brand experiences to signature serves including the iconic BOMBAY SAPPHIRE & Tonic and the refreshing BOMBAY SAPPHIRE Sparkling Lemon.
What's more, each E1 team competes with one male and one female pilot who are drawn from the worlds of motorsport and power boat racing. Beyond the racing, teams actively engage with the local communities the series races in to promote efforts to regenerate the world's oceans and aquatic ecosystems.
With E1 driving change in marine mobility and sustainability, the two partners are united by a shared passion for cherishing the beauty of the natural world. BOMBAY SAPPHIRE will become the Presenting Partner of the E1 Series Blue Impact Championship, designed to protect nature's natural blues, and heal water and local ecosystems where the championship takes place.
Protecting the planet is also a priority for BOMBAY SAPPHIRE and has been for over 25 years. Crafted using a unique blend of 10 hand-selected botanicals from sustainably certified suppliers from around the world, BOMBAY SAPPHIRE is distilled at Laverstoke Mill in the south of England, using a signature vapour infusion process that gently extracts the botanicals' natural flavours, creating the vibrant and versatile taste that BOMBAY SAPPHIRE is known for.
When it opened its doors in 2014, the distillery's design was awarded "Outstanding" by BREEAM®, one of the world's leading environmental assessments for buildings, and in 2023, the site achieved Wildlife Habitat Council certification, recognising efforts to support local wildlife and biodiversity.
