As part of the on-going re-structuring of Australia’s Fastest Motorsport, ANDRA is pleased to announce that a new television package for the sport has been secured.
More than thirty (30), one hour shows will showcase ANDRA Drag Racing this upcoming season on SBS and repeat airings on the SPEED Channel via the Foxtel Subscription Network.
The Broadcast logistics will be provided by AVE - a company that has a prior relationship with the sport for many years, under the watchful eye of key ANDRA personnel.
This relationship will also see heavier colour stories and separate feature pieces on SPEED’s “Inside Speed” show on the Network, during Friday evenings - which are separate from the repeat Television Broadcasts on the dedicated motorsport channel.
