Madrid Is Back: Formula 1 Videomapping
To welcome Formula 1 back to Madrid after 45 years, the Comunidad de Madrid turned the Real Casa de Correos into a giant racing spectacle. A nightly videomapping combined local landmarks with cars, corners, pit stops and the message “Madrid is back”, giving the race a highly visible city-centre launch moment.
Why it worked: It hijacked a hard news moment—the race’s city return—with a made-for-broadcast spectacle at the civic epicenter, guaranteeing visuals and quotes.
The lesson: Consider staging a brief, nightly projection or stunt at your city’s most filmed landmark to piggyback a bigger calendar moment.
