EMG/Gravity Media, the international broadcast facilities provider, will continue to produce live coverage of the iconic Monaco Grand Prix from motor racing’s Formula 1 (F1).
Through a multi-year extension between the firm and the Automobile Club de Monaco (ACM) that was unveiled today, EMG/Gravity will continue to produce “host and co-host live coverage of all racing events taking place on the street circuit of Monaco.”

The original relationship between Gravity Media and the ACM dates back to 1998, and covers F1, as well as the Formula 2 and Formula 3 series, and the Monaco Historic Grand Prix.
The Gravity Media teams in France and Belgium will continue as the production partners for these events.
Gravity Media has said that onsite coverage will utilize one of its “large flypack production systems,” which has been specifically developed to meet the demands of producing live coverage from the Monaco street circuit.
For the Principality’s Historic Grand Prix, meanwhile, editorial additions and enhancements are provided by the Boost Graphics firm.
EMG Group and Gravity Media combined in early 2024 to create “one of the world’s largest and most significant broadcast technology and production companies.”
At the time, the two companies said the combined business would have “significant global capability”, including more than 100 outside broadcast trucks and fly packs, as well as 40 studios and production facilities across Europe, the Middle East, the United States, and Australia, which will be part of the new global business.
F1 action will continue to take place annually on the streets of Monaco through 2035 thanks to an extension announced last September.
This year, the Monaco Grand Prix (the 75th anniversary of the race) will take place between May 23 and 25, while from 2026 onwards the iconic event will be held across the first full weekend of June each year – a departure from its traditional late-May slot, albeit one that means the race will no longer clash with the Indianapolis 500 IndyCar race in the US, another prestigious motor racing event.
Monaco has hosted F1 action since 1950 and has been an ever-present circuit on the calendar since 1955.
In December, Louis Vuitton, the prestigious French luxury fashion brand part of the LVMH conglomerate, took up title sponsorship of the Monaco Grand Prix.
Tag Heuer, another brand in the LVMH group, was the race’s previous title partner.
