SERGIO AGUERO is lining up a stunning switch of profession to face off against Brooklyn Beckham. The Premier League icon and Manchester City record goalscorer is gearing up for an intensive boot camp... in motorsport. Aguero, 36, is among the highest profile stars set to compete in Formula E's new Evo Sessions.
The event is a motorsport first that will give 11 stars from the world of sport, tech and entertainment the chance to get behind the world's fastest electric car, the GEN3 Evo. The race car is capable of reaching 60mph in just 1.82s - 30 per cent faster than a Formula One car.

To prepare for the event, Aguero, Beckham and their co-stars will undergo a six-week intense training camp before a track event at the Miami International Autodrome on March 5-6. This camp will include simulator sessions, physical conditioning, driver coaching, hardware customisation and engineering briefings allowing them to experience the challenges motorsport drivers face.
