In a thrilling display of skill and determination, Jamaican motorsport sensation Sara Misir secured a second-place finish at the Lagos Grand Prix in Nigeria on Sunday. This remarkable performance not only highlighted her individual prowess but also propelled Team Blue Rising to third place in the team standings, setting the stage for an electrifying season finale at the E1 Series Grand Final in Miami on November 7–8. This event marked the first time the E1 Series was held in Africa, adding historical significance to the competition. Misir, alongside teammate John Peeters, built on their recent victory at the Monaco Grand Prix on July 19, delivering another strong showing in Lagos. Team Brazil by Claure Group claimed the top spot, while Team Drogba rounded out the podium in third. Misir’s strategic brilliance was evident as she surged from seventh to second place in the opening race, setting the tone for Peeters’ commanding win in his heat. Their combined efforts earned Misir a third-place grid position for the final race, where she demonstrated exceptional consistency and racecraft to secure second overall. This podium finish marks Team Blue Rising’s third consecutive top-three result, following victories in Monaco and Italy earlier this season. With four podium finishes in six events, Misir’s debut season in motorboat racing has been nothing short of extraordinary. The team now stands third in the championship standings, poised for a thrilling showdown in Miami. ‘It was a really intense race weekend, and I’m proud of how we fought through the field,’ Misir remarked. ‘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 Miami Grand Prix promises high stakes and high drama as Misir continues to make waves for Jamaica in the world of motorsport.
