Gravity Media was responsible for supplying 32 hours of live world feed broadcast for 13 international broadcast partners and airlines from Goodwood Revival, who used the world feed and highlights coverage in more than 150 global territories.

Four hours of live coverage were also aired on ITV, along with a one-hour highlights show which aired on Thursday 22 September on ITV4.

The final event of the 2022 Goodwood season, the Goodwood Revival, sees 16 live races taking place across the three days of the event.

To facilitate the hybrid production, a combination of Gravity Media’s UK based outside broadcast truck Pictor, a bespoke flypack, speciality cameras and remote work at The Production Centre in London was used.

Capturing the action involved 30 cameras including cabled track cameras, live onboards, pole cam, speciality mini cameras, five RFs and four ENG crews. Six Avid edits were utilised on site in Sussex whilst four edits were produced remotely in London.

A fully remote-controlled camera was used for pit lane coverage, and Gravity Media also had a pair of miniature cameras on the chicane wall, a miniature camera on the Lavant Corner and a fully remote-controlled pan tilt zoom camera in the commentary booth.

In addition, Gravity Media’s in-car camera crew installed live onboards in a range of vintage vehicles from Ferraris to Alfa Romeos and then former Formula 1 World Champion Jenson Button’s Jaguar E-Type in the showpiece RAC TT Celebration race.

Gravity Media had 165 crew members on site, all dressed for the occasion wearing Revival costumes.

Blair Wood, business development at Gravity Media, said: “The final event of Gravity Media’s first year with The Goodwood Group, the Revival was a brilliant way to end it all. This marked a fantastic event and a top effort from a crew of more than 150 people who all played their part in delivering a strong end result. Goodwood has become a second home for many at Gravity Media over the last year and to cap it off with being shortlisted for Sports Production of the Year [at the Broadcast Sport Awards 2022] is testament to the incredible output and hard work of all involved. It has been great to see the relationship with Goodwood evolve and long may it continue.”
