JAKARTA - The 2023 Formula E race will be held this weekend in Portland, United States. There is something special at this event.

Formula E organizers will prepare a special livery designed specifically for rappers as well as designers for Jaden Smith.

The collaboration between Jaden and Formula E is a celebration of the world's electric car racing championship debut in the region.

Jaden mengatakan menjadi penggemar berat olahraga dengan energi berkelanjutan itu sejak menghadiri balapan Formula E di Brooklyn, New York, musim lalu.

"Now he has taken his support to the next level by working with Formula E to create a unique livery design for the fastest, lightest, most efficient electric racing car ever made," said Formula E, quoted from an official statement via Antara.

Thousands of fans attending Formula E Portland on Saturday will have the opportunity to see a car with Jaden's specialty livery design up close while on display at Allianz Fan Village Formula E in Portland International Raceway.

Sebelumnya, penggemar sepak bola yang menghadiri pertandingan Portland Timbers pada Rabu (21/6) waktu setempat juga sempat mengecek livery unik tersebut saat mobil tersebut berhenti di kandang Timbers, Mariju Park.

The design concept reflects Jaden's love for art and science, and is made with the aesthetics she likes. The iconography used is a collection of graphic elements specifically aimed at displaying the intersection of artistic creativity and exploration of the world around us through the pursuit and love of knowledge, "said Formula E.

Furthermore, the unique design inspiration is said to be very personal to the son of actor Will Smith, with a design that includes academic subjects that captivate Jaden's interests such as world history, mathematics and physics.

Jaden's focus on improving educational standards and social development reflects Formula E's own commitment to diversity and youth through the FIA Girls on Track Program, UNICEF partnership, investment in legacy sustainability projects, and community involvement in its racing cities, Formula E said.
