The
world’s Number One auto racing series on Air
in the US
Formula One Radio Reports across the country
Standing tall above all others in the
wide world of motor sports is the largest
and most prestigious auto racing series in
the world, the FIA Formula One World
Championship. The multi billion dollar per
year tour show cases 22 of the worlds best
drivers racing their cars at speeds of up to
217 mph (350 kph) around 17 gruelling
circuits that span the globe. Cutting edge
science, engineering, and hundreds of
millions of dollars go into the year round
design, research, development and testing of
every aspect of a Formula One car. Pole
Position Reports and our dedicated team has
been reporting from the races for the last
decade as millions of fans world wide tune
in every other Sunday from March to October
to support teams and drivers as they
push
man and machine to the limits.
"Formula One is a spectacle like no other,"
said two-time F1 World Champion, former CART
champion, and Indy 500 winner Emerson
Fittipaldi. "The cars, the people,
and the technology have made Formula One the
large¬st and most successful motor sport
championship in the history of the sport."
With teams like Ferrari, BMW Williams,
McLaren Mercedes, and BAR Honda headed by
drivers like (eight-times world Champion)
Michael Schumacher, (1999 CART-champion and
2000 Indy-500 winner, a hot challenger in
2004) Juan Pablo Montoya, and current
drivers like two-times world champion
Fernando Alonso, (Ice Man) Kimi
Räikkönen, (2006 GP winner) Jensen
Button and US-driver Scott Speed, it is no
wonder that Formula One World Championship
is one of the best shows in the world.
Pole Position Reports
broadcasts from the U.S. Grand Prix (which
now has a permanent home at the Indianapolis
Motor Speedway since 2000 and attracted an
audience of over 120,000 spectators), the
Canadian Grand Prix, the Monaco Grand Prix
and 14 other race events throughout Europe,
Asia, South America and Australia held
between March-October.
There is a large fan base for motor sports
in the U.S., with one third of Americans
describing themselves as fans. Contrary to
the popular wisdom, Formula One has an
established core audience in the U.S.; of
the total fan base, 7% claim F1 as their
preferred discipline. Through Pole Position
Reports broadcasts we aim to keep fans
across the US informed and entertained with
coverage of all Grand Prix races, with
on-the-spot feedback from teams and drivers
as the action on the track unfolds.
