Truck Racing on TV

Truck Racing on TV

19. May 2008In Barcelona, people who paid close attention, could not only see a camera crew mostly focussing on Cepsa, and their colleagues from the Czech Republic specializing on filming Buggyra, but also a new TV team well staffed with a lot of camera operators – Kamiono TV from Cologne. Under the direction of Peter von Saalfeld, who – during the heyday of TV coverage of truck racing – was already in charge of truck racing reports for EUROSPORT until the end of 2001, this well staffed team will be present at all the races of this season.
The final decision to have TV coverage was reached at relatively short notice. So there was little time left for Kamiono TV, in cooperation with WIGE Media AG, to schedule airtimes with the different TV stations. For the time being there are fixed dates for lengthy broadcasting hours only with Motors TV. However, in Germany this pay TV station is only distributed by some of the cable networks, but in Europe and world-wide there will be a lot of other TV stations broadcasting race reports. In Germany the intensive negotiations continue in order to enable truck racing fans without cable connection to watch race reports. As soon as broadcast dates are announced early enough, they will be made public in the calendar on this website.
