PRINCIPALITY OF MONACO – FORMULA 1: SKY ELEMENTS AND ALLUMEE DESTROY RECORDS IN MONACO WITH A 3,050-DRONE SHOW TO CELEBRATE THE FUTURE OF THE GP
The aerial display projected the Monte Carlo track and single-seaters into the sky, setting a new benchmark for live events on a global scale. The performance celebrated the contract extensions for both the historic Formula One race and the Las Vegas Grand Prix.
Sky Elements, a leader in drone light show entertainment, delivered a historic aerial display in Monaco utilizing 3,050 drones. This marks the largest drone show ever executed in the Principality and the first of this magnitude produced for Formula 1.
Sky Elements directed the production in partnership with Allumee, who served as the event’s operational partner, contributing to a performance destined to redefine live entertainment internationally.
Flying over the Monte Carlo skyline, the show traced the iconic Monaco Grand Prix circuit in the sky before bringing the starting grid to life. Formula 1 team logos and single-seaters were sculpted out of light high above the harbor.
The performance also celebrated two major milestones for the Formula 1 world:
- The Monaco Grand Prix renewal on the F1 calendar through 2035.
- The Las Vegas Grand Prix extension through 2037.
“Monaco is the jewel in the Formula 1 crown, and we wanted to pay tribute to that legacy with something the audience had never seen before,” said Rick Boss, President / CEO of Sky Elements. “Flying 3,050 drones over this circuit, recreating the track and every team on the grid in the sky, represents a massive milestone for our company and for what is possible in live entertainment.”
Sky Elements led the creative vision and production of the show, collaborating with Allumee for the deployment and operational execution of the 3,050-drone performance. This partnership strengthens the growing relationship between the two companies and highlights the increasing internationalization of large-scale drone entertainment.
“Delivering a production of this scale in Monaco requires exceptional expertise and coordination,” said Edouard Ferrari, Founder and CEO of Allumee. “We are honored that Sky Elements entrusted Allumee with the operations of this historic event. This collaboration reflects our mutual commitment to excellence, innovation, and the continuous growth of drone entertainment on the international stage.”
