We are a TV production company that started in 1989. At that time, motor sports covered 70 % of our activities. The other 30% was all kind of sports.

The motor sport events that we covered where as well motor cross, as rally’s and circuit races. Very fast in our histories we had to stop covering other sports because we had too much work in the motor sport area. In that period of time we covered a lot of motor cross events in japan and the united states, especially in the winter period. As from 1993 on, we also stopped covering the motor crosses because the rally’s and circuit races became too important for us. In that year we covered about 25 rally’s and 20 circuit races.

From 1994 on, we started to concentrate ourselves more and more on the rally’s. From that year on till now, we covered each year between 55 and 75 rally’s a year. Next to this, we also covered each year about 20 circuit races, where we collected this big number of events:

• 8 rally’s for the Belgian international championship.
• 8 rally’s for the Belgian national championship.
• 12 rally’s for the Dutch rally championship.
• 14 rally’s for the European rally championship (all coeff.20 events + some coeff.10 and 5 events)
• 8 rally’s for the German championship.
• 8 belcar circuit races.
• 8 European championship rally cross events.

As you will realise this needs a big number of people and logistics to cover al these events. Especially when 90% happens between the end of march and the end of october.

The crew that I have selected around me, is the same now for the last four years and is becoming bigger every year. All of them are freelance workers. As they do so much motor sports and in particular rally, they are very specialised in this matter.

Ypres Rally

As we started in the early years to cover events with one and sometimes two camera’s, from 1994 on we started to do bigger productions. In that year we did the production of the ypres 24 hours rally in Belgium.
We covered this event with 4 camera’s but for the first time we covered 1 stage live for national TV. This with 9 camera’s, 8 on the stage and 1 in the helicopter. We used their over 10 km cable to cover this stage.  

From 1994 on we covered this event each year in a bigger way. In 1998 we employed in total 44 free-lancers to cover this event, live stage included.

We managed their to go 8 times during the event with a different report on satellite, this for the news reports.

1 hour after the event we had a 52-minute report ready. By the time there was the price giving, we had a beta sp copy of this 52-minute report ready for each journalist.

This price giving was 5 hours after the first car came over the finishing ramp. Each year we sell on this price giving the 52 minutes report on vhs to the public.

From 1994 on, several organisers hired us to make their official film.

In 1997, we made the official film of the European championship truck racing. This on behalf of a.b. productions who worked for i.s.c.

For 1999, 2000 and 2001, we are selected by the organisers of the coeff.20 rally’s to become their official tv crew.

Coeff.20 events that we cover now for the last 8 years.

Also the german championship (8 events) was covered completely by us in 1999 and 2000. This on behalf of the German industry for d.s.f. (deutsche sport fernsehn)

In 2001 we had to make 24 rallyprograms 45 minutes each.

Besides these rally programs we also produced 10 programs 1 hour each for circuit races and 7 Programs 23minutes each from motorbike races.

Most of our clients are companies that we work for since the last six years.

As we covered in the past 10 years around 600 rally’s, we think that we have the experience and knowledge in house to cover on behalf whatever motorsport event you organise.
