(25/06/2013) Motorsport fans around the world officially have reason to be happy. Within a launch ceremony in Zolder on Sunday, 23 June, the SUPERSTARS WORLD Smart TV application has officially gone live.
The launch marks the first time that a motorsports series is represented on Smart TV with a dedicated application. Powered by leading Smart TV developer NetRange, the app provides petrolheads with a steady dose of premium racing action 24/7 and right in their living rooms. In a presentation at the Belgian round of the SUPERSTARS WORLD, the app was unveiled by Vincenzo Lamaro, Managing Director of FG Group, Jan Wendt, Managing Director of NetRange, and Thorsten Schroeder, Senior Vice President of _wige MEDIA as marketing partner of SUPERSTARS WORLD.
We are happy to provide our fans with another opportunity to experience the fascination of the SUPERSTARS WORLD, said Managing Director of FG Group Vincenzo Lamaro. Our goal is to deliver top racing entertainment, so we naturally embrace new ways to interact with our fans and followers.

I am a great fan of motorsports myself. Together with SWR and _wige, NetRange created a unique content proposition. The new Smart TV media industry offers a wide range of opportunities for sports rights holders and we are very happy that SWR and _wige partnered with us in order to make these great racing series available for fans around the globe, comments Jan Wendt, Managing Director of NetRange.
The promising cooperation between SWR and NetRange has been initiated by _wige MEDIA. As marketing and distribution partner of the SUPERSTARS WORLD since 2010, the German media agency oversees the series' international TV and moving image coverage.
