CUPRA KIRO ready to race at home in Miami
American Formula E team, CUPRA KIRO, eyeing successful home race at the 2026 Miami E-Prix
CUPRA KIRO is ready to race as the FIA Formula E World Championship touches down in Miami, Florida, for the American squad’s home event and the third round of the 2025/26 season. Returning to the city for a second consecutive campaign, Formula E will race in downtown Miami for the first time since 2015 as the series takes on the Miami International Autodrome.
The venue, which is one of two brand-new circuits on the Season 12 schedule, runs around the legendary home of the Miami Dolphins and will present a new challenge for the entire grid, with every team placed on near equal footing as Formula E concludes the North American leg of the season.
CUPRA KIRO touches down in Miami with momentum building, and after claiming its first points finish of the season in Mexico City, drivers, Dan Ticktum and Pepe Martí, will be looking to convert early promise into further success across the weekend.

Dan Ticktum, Driver, CUPRA KIRO
“I’m looking forward to getting back in the car this weekend after a somewhat unfortunate start to the season. The car was in a very good window in São Paulo and Mexico City, and after showing quite a lot of potential, it’s been frustrating to not get any points on the board because of circumstances that are outside of our control. This season hasn’t started how I wanted it to, but we’ll reset for Miami. Providing that our luck can turn around, I’m pretty confident that we can have a successful weekend.”
Pepe Martí, Driver, CUPRA KIRO
"I’m excited to get started in Miami, and after taking my first points of the season in Mexico City, I want to try and solidify our recent steps forward by aiming for another good finish again. Having Rookie Free Practice alongside FP1 and FP2 will be hugely beneficial for this weekend and a smooth run through all the sessions should hopefully set us up well for the race.”
Russell O’Hagan, Team Principal, CUPRA KIRO
“As a home race, the Miami E-Prix represents a very special weekend for us and we’re arriving with a lot of motivation after what has been a highly promising, if slightly frustrating, start to the season on track. Based on the pace that we’ve shown so far, we know that we’re more than capable of achieving strong results, but the next step is to covert our potential into consistent points finishes. Pepe impressed us a great deal with his drive in Mexico City, and with his Rookie Free Practice appearance on Friday, he’ll have a good opportunity to continue his growth this weekend. After challenging start to the year, Dan is on the verge of a breakthrough result and I’m very confident that he’ll bounce back soon. We expect that the margins will be incredibly close as always , but if we can hit the ground running, there’s no reason why we can’t achieve a good result in Miami.”
