The Australian Racing Group (ARG) has chosen Speedcafe.com as its international streaming partner for 2023 ahead of this weekend’s AWC Race Tasmania.
The partnership sees Australia’s leading motorsport news source, Speedcafe.com, team with ARG to bring its motorsport categories to an international audience, with streaming rights for all markets outside Australia.
The effort will see greater exposure for ARG competitors across its series, and access to the category from around the globe.
“The partnership between Speedcafe.com and ARG is welcome news for racing fans,” said Speedcafe.com Editor in Chief, Damion Smy.
“It brings Australian motorsport across to New Zealand and the broader world audience in an accessible, easy way that showcases the depth and variety we’re lucky to have here.”
Both Speedcafe.com and ARG head into 2023 on growth strategies with a common goal of connecting with more motor racing fans both in Australia and overseas.
“This is such a boon for Shannons SpeedSeries ahead of this week’s Race Tasmania event, which sees our marquee Supercheap Auto TCR, Gulf Oil TCM and other categories start the season on a high,” said ARG Chief Operating Officer, Liam Curkpatrick.
“We know that our global categories including TCR, TransAM, and GT3/GT4 coupled with our Bathurst events understandably have a global audience. To be able to show our local teams and events around the world through a media-leading organisation such as Speedcafe.com is a win-win for all, but especially fans,” he added.
Australian audiences will still enjoy full ad free live uninterrupted coverage through Stan Sport, and live free to air Saturday from 2:00pm on 9Gem.
Live international streaming outside Australia will be hosted through Speedcafe.com.
