Riyadh Drone Racing World Cup

The challenge

Racing drones are small, fast and hard to follow. We had to make each heat readable in real time for a national TV audience new to the sport.

What we did

We set up on-site capture covering the arena and the pilot area.
We designed broadcast graphics and live timing overlays, so viewers can see who's leading at any moment.
We ran the production chain through to the final broadcast feed.

The outcome

Viewers across Saudi Arabia followed each heat live on national television, as they would any mainstream sport. It was our second event in Saudi Arabia, after we ran the 2024 FAI Saudi e-Drone Racing World Cup.
