MOTORSPORT NETWORK TO BRING MAHINDRA BLUEPRINTS TO LIFE
Richmond, London – March 16, 2018 – Motorsport Network, whose platforms represent the largest audience of motorsport and auto enthusiasts in the world, today confirmed that it had been commissioned by Mahindra Racing to animate the team’s ‘Blueprints’ campaign by supplementing the team’s established narrative with associated video content. The announcement comes ahead of Mahindra Racing which is currently ranked second overall in Formula E standings, participating in the Punta Del Este ePrix, which takes place Saturday, March 17.
Motorsport Network’s partnership with Mahindra Racing, an Indian motorsport team owned by Indian automobile manufacturer, Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd., includes the production of a 10-episode video animation regarding the technical content of the Formula E team, with five video animations scheduled to be produced for the remainder of this season, and an additional five commissioned for the following season.
Blueprints is part of a Mahindra Racing initiative to educate and inform by meshing the natural curiosity around technology with the thrill of racing. Motorsport Network’s array of capability will build on this established foundation and take the Blueprints campaign from infographics and written narrative into video, utilising the animation, visualisation and special effects capabilities that serve the Motorsport.tv production team.
