After a particularly busy first half of the season, filled with events, travel and countless images, MPS Agency is now heading into an equally intense second half of the year. Since the beginning of the season, our photographers have travelled across European and international circuits to cover some of the biggest competitions in motorsport. The second half of the season will be no exception, with several major events already on the MPS Agency calendar.
Formula 1: Still at the Heart of Our Season
Formula 1 will once again play an important role in our schedule. The final rounds of the season will provide plenty of opportunities to capture the championship’s key moments: on-track action, paddock atmosphere, driver portraits, team behind-the-scenes and all the highlights of a Grand Prix weekend.
Beyond the competition itself, our objective remains the same: to provide comprehensive coverage that tells the story of each event from different perspectives and captures the intensity and atmosphere of a Formula 1 weekend.
FIA WEC and ELMS: Endurance Racing in the Spotlight
The second half of the season will also see MPS Agency covering the final rounds of the FIA World Endurance Championship (FIA WEC) and the European Le Mans Series (ELMS).
Both championships offer an incredibly rich photographic environment. Long races, changing conditions, multiple classes and the unique atmosphere of endurance racing provide countless opportunities to create a wide variety of images.
From the start of the race to the chequered flag, including pit stops, team activities and intense battles on track, our photographers will be there to document every aspect of these major international events.
FIM EWC: Endurance Motorcycle Racing
Two-wheel racing will also be part of our programme. MPS Agency will be present for the final round of the FIM Endurance World Championship (FIM EWC), held at the legendary Paul Ricard Circuit as part of the Bol d’Or.
This iconic event offers a unique atmosphere, with an exceptional level of access and proximity to the riders and teams. High speeds, challenging conditions and a race lasting many hours represent both a demanding photographic challenge and an incredible opportunity to capture powerful images. From day into night, the Bol d’Or delivers an intense spectacle, combining on-track action, team strategy, pit stops and the unique atmosphere surrounding one of the most iconic endurance races in motorcycle racing.
Chantilly Arts & Élégance: A Different Perspective on the Automobile
But the second half of the season will not be focused solely on racing. One of the most anticipated events on our calendar is Chantilly Arts & Élégance, one of the world’s most prestigious gatherings dedicated to classic, luxury and exceptional automobiles.
Set within the magnificent surroundings of the Domaine de Chantilly, the event offers a different perspective on the automotive world, bringing together heritage, elegance, design and history. From exceptional classic cars and concept cars to the prestigious concours d’élégance, Chantilly Arts & Éléganceprovides a photographic environment that is very different from the racing circuits. It is also an opportunity for MPS Agency to showcase another aspect of our expertise: telling the story of the automobile through its history, design, heritage and the people who bring this world to life.
24 Hours Trucks: The Spectacle of Truck Racing
Another major event on our calendar will be the 24 Hours Trucks, a spectacular event that brings together thousands of fans of truck racing every year.
On track, the races deliver an impressive combination of power, speed and close racing, while the paddock offers a unique atmosphere that is both passionate and family-friendly. For MPS Agency, this event is another opportunity to showcase a different side of motorsport. From the intense battles on track to the behind-the-scenes action in the paddock, our photographers will be there to capture the key moments of the weekend and tell the complete story of this spectacular event.
A Second Half of the Season Focused on Images
With Formula 1, FIA WEC, FIM EWC, ELMS, 24 Hours Trucks and Chantilly Arts & Élégance, the second half of the season promises to be particularly busy for MPS Agency. This diversity of events also reflects our ambition to cover the full spectrum of motorsport and the wider automotive world: from the cutting-edge performance of Formula 1 to the demanding world of endurance racing, motorcycle racing and the elegance of historic and exceptional automobiles.
Across every event, MPS Agency will continue to put its experience and network of photographers at the service of its clients and partners, with one constant priority: delivering strong, original and immediately usable images. The season is far from over. New circuits, new races, new stories and, above all, countless new images are still to come. See you in the paddocks, trackside and at some of the world’s most exciting automotive events for the second half of the season!

The 2026 edition of the Rétromobile show has just closed its doors and, once again, this unmissable event offered visitors the chance to admire some of the rarest and most priceless automobiles in the world. Celebrating its 50th edition, the Parisian show reaffirmed its status as a global temple of collectible automobiles. Among the “must-sees,” all the show’s usual icons were present: Ferrari 250 LM, F40, 250 GT Short Wheelbase, 1970s Porsche 911s, AC Cobra, pre-war Bugattis, the Jaguar E-Type, not to mention numerous cars that have made history at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
Special mention goes to a truly historic moment: for the first time in France, the seven BMW Art Cars that competed in the 24 Hours of Le Mans were brought together. This exceptional exhibition offered a unique journey where leading contemporary artists met racing legends, blending art and competition in a way that only BMW can achieve.
The stand dedicated to Steve McQueen paid tribute to the love of speed that guided the life of this iconic actor of the 1960s and 1970s. On display were several of his legendary vehicles, including the 1961 Triumph TR6 from The Great Escape, the 1971 Husqvarna 400 Cross, the 1971 Honda 250 SRM, the legendary 1968 Ford Mustang Fastback V8, as well as the Dodge Charger from the film Bullitt. A true homage to a timeless figure of cinema and motorsport.
A major new feature of this anniversary edition was the introduction of the “Ultimate Supercar Garage,” complementing the traditional classic car exhibition. This spectacular space evoked the golden era when Bugatti, Ferrari, Pagani, or Aston Martin were ever-present at the Geneva or Paris motor shows. Showcasing modern hypercars and exceptional supercars, this area captivated both heritage enthusiasts and fans of contemporary performance.
