The first flying Formula 1 car
Challenge
Since 1950 Formula One is the pinnacle of motorsport, with races all over the world they bring excitement and adrenalin to five continents. And now it was time for the entertainment capital of the world to welcome the twenty drivers and thousands of fans to their city.
For this event we transformed the well known Caesars Palace into a VIP Party with two drone shows. Flying within strict limits, we combined all disciplines of a show into one interactive experience.

01. Brief
The Caesars Palace was the scene of our two drone shows, to celebrate the opening of the Las Vegas Grand Prix, including a VIP Party. To start of the weekend in a memorable way, a fusion of all show elements, like light, pyrotechnics, lasers and of course drones was called for, whilst being contained inside of the approved spaces.

03. Concept
The concept behind the project was to creatively showcase iconic Las Vegas symbols alongside electrifying Formula One themes, integrating various disciplines such as live music, projection mapping, pyrotechnics, and drone displays into one experience.
Being granted a special FAA permit for flying drones in the city, this approach marked the first time that these elements interacted dynamically, with projection mapping responding to drone movements and vice versa.
By seamlessly combining all aspects of the production, we pushed the boundaries of what is possible and raised the excitement and engagement of the event, delivering a memorable celebration that captured the essence of both Las Vegas and Formula One.
