What RaceSpot TV does

RaceSpot TV, legally Racespot Media House GmbH, is a private German sim racing broadcast production studio headquartered in Hürth/Cologne and operating globally since 2013. The company produces professional, multi-platform broadcast coverage for competitive sim racing events, delivering live streams across YouTube and Twitch as well as linear distribution through Eurosport, Sport 1, and MotorsTV. Beyond streaming, it runs full-service live event production (hardware procurement, transport, on-site AV, broadcast operations, audiences up to ~1,500), operates a modular studio facility in Cologne for panel shows and corporate content, and rents sim racing hardware with technical on-site support for exhibitions and brand activations.

Core technical capability sits in multi-title broadcast production: RaceSpot can produce cohesive broadcasts spanning iRacing, Assetto Corsa Competizione, rFactor 2, Le Mans Ultimate, Gran Turismo 7, and RENNSPORT within single events, paired with custom graphics packages and live timing integration for endurance formats. Commentary is delivered live in up to 8 languages, including German, English, Finnish, Danish, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish, and Korean.

The business model is a custom, quote-based professional services model with multi-year enterprise contracts. Primary customer segments are automotive OEMs and racing manufacturers (Porsche, BMW, Audi Sport, Mazda), esports organizations and racing sanctioning bodies (VCO, ESL R1, eNASCAR, IMSA, 24H Series, ERL), TV networks, and event organizers. Sponsorship, studio rental, and hardware rental provide ancillary revenue. The firm is founder-controlled and bootstrapped, scaled to 400+ broadcasts and 100M+ impressions per year, with management led by CEO/Co-Founder Philip Stamm and Founder/Producer Hugo L.C. Marins.
