Globecast, a provider of broadcast, media and entertainment managed services, has partnered with Racer Network, a global motorsports television network headquartered in Indianapolis. Globecast will provide Racer Network with a suite of cloud playout, live integration, satellite distribution, IP and terrestrial transport services to deliver sports content to consumers via the Racer Network and Racer+ streaming app.
Racer will feature more than 300 live races in 2025 along with race highlights, build shows, live car auctions, talk shows and more. Racer Network turned to Globecast to take advantage of its advanced graphics capabilities, improve its overall quality of service, and seamlessly integrate its workflow into next-generation technology.
CJ Olivares, Racer Network president, says: “Partnering with Globecast allows us to focus on what we do best — acquiring and producing thrilling motorsports and car culture content from around the world for our viewers. With decades of experience, Globecast’s talented operations center team expertly manages our video delivery workflow, from live production to linear and OTT distribution, and gives us confidence that our programming will provide audiences with an unparalleled viewing experience.”
Racer Network uses Globecast’s broadcast technologies to ensure high-quality content delivery, including integration of a new scheduling system with a cloud playout solution for live events.
Globecast’s new facility in Westlake Village, Calif., offers a cloud-based platform providing fully redundant playout capabilities, with Racer Network uploading approximately 2TB of file-based content monthly from AWS S3 storage service to Globecast’s MCR for scheduling, monitoring, quality control and reporting. In addition to satellite distribution, Globecast manages the channel delivery to major OTT platforms including YouTube TV and Hulu.
For live events, Globecast will also provide integrated services, including technical and artistic directors for live integration of Racer Network’s events. These will be delivered to Globecast via terrestrial, satellite or IP sources from the live event venues. Globecast’s master control provides ingestion and switching between automated playback during server-based programming and manual switching during Racer Network’s live events.
“We are delighted to partner with Racer Network and bring our full suite of media management capabilities to power their linear, OTT distribution and live event broadcasts,” said Neil Butterfield, Globecast director of sales & director of live events. “Our new facility in Westlake Village is designed for advanced video services including cloud playout and live production that will provide Racer Network with a seamless and future-proof workflow to maximize monetization and quality of service across platforms.”
