F1 POWERBOAT CHAMPIONSHIP ANNOUNCES 2024 BROADCAST PLANS

SPEED SPORT 1, the live racing network and LiveRaceMedia will provide live and post-production services, marketing and distribution of the series.

MOORESVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA, USA, May 1, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- F1 Powerboat Championship has partnered with the new live motorsports network SPEED SPORT 1 and production group LiveRaceMedia for production and live timing services.

Each round will be live-streamed on the F1 Powerboat Championship YouTube channel, followed by a highly-produced highlight show airing on SPEED SPORT 1.

Series president Tim Seebold says the deal brings together two trusted partners for the series and will represent the most robust production and reach F1 Powerboats has seen in its history.

“On behalf of the F1 Powerboat Championship we are excited to announce this new collaboration that will elevate our programing and distribution,” said Seebold. “Our long history of working with LiveRaceMedia and the great people over at SPEED SPORT 1 independently has blossomed into this exciting partnership that will introduce Formula 1 Powerboat racing’s deck to deck, adrenaline-filled action to new racing fans globally.”

LiveRaceMedia (and sister company LiveTime Scoring) has been the official production partner for F1 Powerboats Championship for years, and will be working closely with SPEED SPORT to elevate the production quality — showcasing the personalities, technologies and exciting hull-to-hull racing that makes F1 Powerboat Championship racing so exciting.

"The Formula 1 Powerboat Championship provides a unique opportunity for our company to showcase some of our industry leading technologies on one of the most exciting racing series we have the privilege of working with," said Brandon Rohde, LiveRaceMedia CEO. “From real-time GPS telemetry that yields instant scoring updates, to live aerial drone footage using custom-designed drones with speeds in excess of 100 mph just inches above the boats, this series is like nothing else we get to work with. It is the perfect combination of adrenaline-packed racing and cutting-edge technology."
