In the Racing Pits at the

Superleague Formula

Our DP Robert Foster had a weekend in the Pits at the esteemed Brands Hatch racecourse down in Kent.

For the first time, Brands Hatch welcomed the Superleague Formula, which we were thrilled to cover. This is one of the world’s most iconic motor racing venues and plays host to some of the biggest international events on the calendar in 2010.

Robert operated on one of the many live cameras covering the event.

First used for grass track bike racing in 1926, Brands Hatch is a firm fans' favourite and has been the scene of some momentous occasions in motor racing history - from Ayrton Senna's first ever car victory and Nigel Mansell's first Grand Prix win, to the first-ever British Touring Car race.

The Superleague Formula was a huge weekend full of crowds of football loving petrol heads from all over the globe. Races also included in the packed weekend were; The GT Cup Championship, The Lotus Cup Europe and The Formula Junior. The cars in the Superleague Formula are similar to Formula One cars. However every team uses identical cars and 750-horsepower V-12 engines. Eighteen clubs took part including English clubs Liverpool FC and Tottenham Hotspur. The results after Round 7 placed AC Milan in first position in the 2010 General Standings.

On The Beach at Wakestock Music Festival 2010

Our DP Robert Foster had a fun packed weekend on the beach earlier this year as he filmed at the Wakestock Music Festival. This is Europe’s largest Wakeboard music festival and is based right on the beaches of Cardigan Bay with breathtaking views of the Snowdonia mountains as the backdrop and trendy surf village Abersoch a stones throw away with its golden beaches, cool café’s and fashionable bars.

The Relentless Wakestock joined the World Wakeboarders series this year and had the best wakeboarders on the planet confirmed, they included current Wakestock champion Nick Davies and legend Randall Harris.

There was a great line up at the three day festival on the open air stage which included live performances from Feeder, Plan B, The Ting Tings, Robyn, Maximo Park, The Future Heads and N-Dubz to name a few.

The event was captured live by Robert, Gregg and Alan, as well as several other camera operators on the multi-camera OB and broadcast live on S4C all over Wales.

Robert was lucky enough to be back stage for most of the time to film live interviews with the headline performers at this year’s festival.
