A new weekly motor racing program is being created on TV specifically to flight the great motor racing from the nineties through to the mid 2000’s. Those were the days when all National Motorsport events were all covered live on TV. The racing then is remembered as some of the best racing in the history of the sport in South Africa
“There has been a many requests from motorsport fans, drivers, teams and companies to re run this old footage, the days when the grids were full, huge entries on race days, when motorsport was well supported by all the manufacturers, sponsors, teams, drivers and riders, many of who are now legends in the sport today,” said Digby Wesson.
“This great footage exists thanks to Rob Weightman who filmed and produced it all live in those days a man that is said to be one of the best TV motor racing producers in SA, he has all the original tapes of the racing in the 90’s going forward to 2006.” As most petrol heads will know the racing then was outstanding and is now being referred to as the Golden Era of SA Racing.”
The plan is to have our very own 30 minute motor racing program, a complete show with 5 repeats running every week 24/7. This will be a total of 52 x 30 min programs a year, one per week and then the repeats that same week, a total of 6 flightings in the week, 180 minutes a week, 312 flightings a year. Smaller month packages can be arranged to suit a budget
“The categories we have are the Wesbank V8’s, Production cars, Superbikes plus the smaller class’s along with all the SA Rally footage, we will also look at sourcing other footage such as Motocross, Supercross, indoor Supercross and Trials, plus the early Paris/Dakar’s and Camel Trophy, if the interest is there and we get the support all this will all happen.”
Each complete program category will be rebranded for the new partners/sponsors, along with a great added value package.
One can own the complete program and category outright for a year, or one can take the option of 26 programs over the year.
“We will only run one category per each 30 min program per week plus the 5 re runs, the package will include the following; Onscreen logos, opening and closing bill boards, Stings, voice overs, as a sponsor the TV Commercials will be at a really special reduced rate if required, there will also be trade exchange deals, competitions and promotions, PR support, a full branded calendar program of the racing that will be running, along with other attractive benefits,” said Wesson.
The return on the sponsorship is well over 20 to 1 and the packages are very affordable with a number of options in place.
The channel will be announced at a later date once we have all our partners in place.
