Changes in the ETS Media Team
After all the Covid-19 circumstances which started at the beginning of 2020, the ETS Media Team also had to deal with some changes. Due to personal (and jobwise) reasons, our friend and long-term pit reporter, race announcer and media helper Oli Meggitt is not frequently available for us at the ETS anymore. The whole ETS crew would like to shout out a huge “THANK YOU” to Olli for all his help in the last years. We hope to welcome him as a driver (and part of the Media Team) at the ETS in the near future again. Oli will still be around the ENS series, as far as his time will allow him to. We are very happy about that!
USA travel restrictions
For RD1 of season #14 in Andernach, our famous race announcer Scotty Ernst will not be with us. Unfortunately, there are still very hard travel restrictions in the United States of America. These don`t allow him to fly over for the race without having to deal with quarantine. We all hope for a more relaxed situation very soon as we all miss “the voice of the ETS”. Hopefully, we can see Scotty on the ETS microphone again very quickly!
In Andernach, Uwe Rheinard will be the race director and announcer for the weekend, and we all know that he will give everything to make it a thrilling race for everybody!
Media Team with new ETS website and different tasks
On the reporting site, our technical supporter Oliver Storm built up a fresh website for the euroRCseries, featuring the ETS, ENS and EOS. During the first race in Andernach the new website will be the platform for all information going on around the whole event. We are always trying to improve, but we think that we made a huge step forward with our new page and their functions.
Another change in the ETS media team is a new role for Patrick Beck. He is with us since last season, helping with interviews and videos, and he will fill out the role of the “race reporter”. Patrick will be the guy writing the race reports during the whole ETS event.
Asked about his new role Patrick told us:
“I am really excited to step a little deeper in the coverage of ETS events. It is a completely new challenge for me as I am only used to do some videos or interviews until now. I will do my best to keep everybody updated about the racing action on our new website in a cool and entertaining way. With the technical support from Oliver I am really confident and I hope people will like it – see you trackside”
Pictures by Tom Wald
The photographer for RD1 Season #14 2021/22 at Arena33 in Andernach will be Tom Wald from Hamburg (bildwald.de). He is a very experienced photographer with very interesting ideas and his pictures will be a major part of our ETS coverage. Be excited and check the picture galleries from Friday to Sunday.
Pullstart.TV and Race Videos
As you may have noticed last week, the Arena33 onroad track got an amazing Upgrade with the installation of the pullstart.tv live streaming system. There are three cameras located at the track which are connected to the time keeping. People now can follow a very modern live stream with automatically switching cameras during the race all weekend.
But as we still want to film the most thrilling qualifying heats and A-mains of the weekend for you, our Video expert Hanno van den Boogaard will be in charge. He will produce great clips which we will upload to our website and YouTube channel for you.
We are ready to go and the whole ETS crew wishes you a maximum amount of fun at ETS RD1 Season #14 2021/22 at Arena33 in Andernach – let`s go racing!
