Insight TV to shoot 24-hour motor race

Endurance: 24 Hours of Spa follows the 70th edition of the race

Dutch ultra-high-definition (UHD) broadcaster Insight TV has commissioned a miniseries about one of the world’s toughest endurance motor races.

Endurance: 24 Hours of Spa (4×44′) will go behind the scenes at Total 24 Hours of Spa, which place in Belgium on July 28, marking its landmark 70th edition.

The race sees teams of drivers race for 24 hours and this year will feature teams such as BentleyTeam M-Sport, Garage 59 and GRT Grasser Racing Team. The miniseries will be accompanied by 6×11′ shorts featuring profiles of the various teams.

Each episode of the series will tackle a theme or topic relevant to specific stages of the race, such as the history of endurance racing and the technology used, pit crew cohesion and dynamics and the psychology of endurance racing.

“It’s a challenging show to produce in an environment where tensions are high and the narrative is constantly changing. We plan to get under the skin of these teams and drivers to find out what it takes to compete at this dangerous level,” said Frank le Mair, executive producer at Insight TV.
