Gravity Media Australia linked with Supercars – for the ninth year in a row – to broadcast the Repco Bathurst 12 Hour, an endurance sprint for recognised racing vehicles held at New South Wales’ Mount Panorama Circuit. To undertake such an event, Gravity Media installed over 140 in-car cameras and 37 TV cameras, 24 kilometres of broadcast cable and a production crew of more than 120 on and around the circuit. Together, Gravity and Supercars captured ‘one of the most thrilling races in the world,’ according to Supercars’ head of broadcast, Nathan Prendergast, and delivered it to an international audience. Audi, Mercedes-AMG, Porsche, Lamborghini and McLaren all made appearances at the Repco Bathurst 12 Hour. Fox Sports, Kayo, the Seven Network and 7plus broadcast the event domestically, with Sky Sports NZ, Radio Show Ltd and other streaming partners carrying the international coverage to end consumers. In addition to the Repco Bathurst 12 Hour, Gravity Media Australia produces the Repco Bathurst 1000 alongside the Repco Supercars Championship.

PITTSBURGH PENGUINS’ ARENA GETS AN UPGRADE
The PPG Paints Arena – home of the Pittsburgh Penguins – received an upgrade with the installation of Ayrton Zonda 9 FX LED moving head washes underneath its new scoreboard. The LEDs, distributed by North American company Act Entertainment, are delivering a more exciting game experience to Penguins fans. The scoreboard itself is part of an arena-wide upgrade, spearheaded by Fenway Sports Group (Penguins owners since 2021). Designed by Mitsubishi Electric, the four-sided
fixture includes 50-foot LED panels around a hollow centre. Two Zonda 9 FX LEDs – selected by the team’s lighting designer and programmer Kevin Hogan – are attached to the lower mounting rail of each individual panel. “The Zonda 9 FX is an amazing fixture with so many features built in, including the LiquidEffect and individual pixel control,” said Hogan. “It is a great quality wash light with eye-candy effects that are second to none – exactly what I would like for the new scoreboard.”
