WHERE THE NIGHT NEVER SLOWS DOWN
Following 2024’s celebration, this year’s full-throttle showcase featured racing-inspired edge, a pit-crew activation, celebrity appearances, luxury brand experiences, and jaw-dropping performances. The night never slowed — and here’s why.
Guests were welcomed with an engine roar as two high-performance Formula 1 cars, courtesy of MENCHACA STUDIO, set the tone for pure adrenaline. White-gloved and impeccably styled ushers guided guests into the venue where wine by DOMECQ CHATEAU added flavor and finesse to the night’s opening toast. Exquisite canapés, a dynamic violinist and a live F1-inspired art installation by Alejandro Glatt charged the atmosphere from the moment guests arrived. As signature GP RACING NIGHT cocktails flowed— including the Racing Margarita and Checo Twist — the excitement accelerated.
Adding to the spectacle, ENGEL & VÖLKERS LOS CABOS´ branded pit crew took over the floor with whistles, checkered flags and vibrant Latin rhythms, fueling the crowd’s enthusiasm. Guest celebrity Paulina Madrazo then welcomed hosts Vanessa Fukunaga and Andrés Simg to the podium for the official opening, followed by a luxury raffle featuring standout prizes — from VIP passes to the Ocean Blue World Hospitality Suite at the upcoming WWT PGA Tour Los Cabos, to a stunning Pesavento necklace available at Peyrelongue, and VIP concert access to Ricky Martin by Music Vibe.
But the night was only beginning. A choreographed Michael Jackson tribute show raised the roof — literally — captivating the crowd with precision and power. From live stage performances, including a standout act by Kalimba, to the illuminated dance floor, the rhythm never let up — a cascade of exceptional artists and high-energy house beats kept the momentum racing well into the early hours.
