Supercars Media and EMG / Gravity Media, the leading force in production and content, media services and facilities, today confirmed details for the all-encompassing all-screens coverage of this year's Repco Bathurst 1000.
This is the twelfth year for EMG / Gravity Media Australia's broadcast facilities and technology collaboration with Supercars Media which produces the global and Australian television coverage of The Great Race.
Across more than 175 television cameras on-track, in-car, in the pits, around the track, embedded in concrete kerbs and walls, in the air and across sections of the track on a wire, and accessing four state of the art high definition outside broadcast trucks, speciality in-car camera technology designed and developed by EMG / Gravity Media Australia, 52 kilometres of broadcast cable and a total production crew of more than 250, EMG / Gravity Media Australia and Supercars Media will capture every moment on Fox Sports, Kayo Sports, the Seven Network and 7plus across 10-13 October.
In addition, coverage of this year's Repco Bathurst 1000 will be broadcast around the world via Supercars' international broadcast partners.
Coverage of the Repco Bathurst 1000 has expanded dramatically over the years. The first race saw three television cameras cover the event in 1963. The first pit-lane portable camera coverage and use of on-screen computer lap-scoring was unveiled in 1969. The first live helicopter coverage was deployed in 1977. The first live in-car camera coverage was delivered in 1979.
Nathan Prendergast, Head of Broadcast, Supercars Media, said:
Supercars is pleased to once again be working with EMG Gravity Media Australia at the Repco Bathurst 1000. Our coverage in 2024 expands to five days on-air with the action beginning Wednesday night with a live show from downtown Bathurst to capture all 26 cars driving into the city from the famous Mt Panorama Circuit along with the finals of the Pirtek Pitstop Challenge. The on-track action starts from 7:30am Thursday and carries through right the way through to the end of the 1000 classic on Sunday, delivering more than 42 hours of coverage from the Mountain.
