IMG has agreed a multi-year deal to exclusively manage and license the worldwide video archive rights for the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship.

The agreement will see IMG manage more than 1,000 hours of archive footage of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship on its digital archive platform. This includes all races, qualifying rounds and pre-season testing alongside exclusive interviews and behind the scenes footage.

The ABB FIA Formula E World Championship celebrated its tenth anniversary in 2024. Season 11 (2024-5) sees Formula E complete a 16-race calendar spanning 10 iconic urban venues as it continues to pioneer sustainable racing. New race locations in Miami and Jeddah; a double-header of separate races in Monaco – a first for the Principality in any motorsport championship; a double-header of races in Tokyo; and the return of Jakarta complement the roster of other city destinations.

Aarti Dabas, Chief Media Officer, Formula E, said: “Formula E has always been about pushing boundaries – in technology, sustainability and fan engagement. Partnering with IMG to manage our extensive video archive ensures that the incredible moments from over the past decade of electric racing, as well as those to come, are preserved and made accessible for fans, partners, and storytellers worldwide.”

Bill Hawes, Senior Director, Archive at IMG, added: “Over the past ten years, the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship has provided fans with historic racing, memorable victories and impressive feats of engineering, which prove why it is one of the most exciting sports in motor racing. We’re delighted to partner with Formula E so that storytellers can have unbeatable access to the sporting moments that matter via IMG.”
