A maiden race win for @gb68.bsky.social last night and what a chaotic race to clinch it in. Fully deserved and I have no doubt that this will unlock the floodgates🍾

Wets on a dry track not ideal 🤔

Wets on a dry track whilst using McDonalds WiFi, priceless.

I'm not often left speechless!

F05Esports wrapped up alongside @izamusing. Super fun and close racing right to the end with the cleanest driver when it came to penalties getting the W.

Congrats Rasin.

And what about our Monday night @EASPORTSWRC club?

Well no fancy tricks here, a unique set of requirements requires a different package📋

Our most technically challenging stream, bringing together over 30 feeds to create the best broadcast in the WRC game scene.

I'll do a thread on this soon...

And you may be thinking, doesn't the Creator Series run F2 cars too?

We certainly do and it takes a single button press to completely change the theming across the entire package🎩🪄

Feature parity between F1 and F2 broadcasts is something I am really proud of.

And did you notice the transitions between the scenes?
That is the co-ordinate based transition plugin we use.

Achieving the best results require a rethink on how graphics are used in @OBSProject compared to traditional F1 broadcasts🤔

Race action always remains on screen📺

Most F1 game broadcasts have two commentators, but an area we have pushed on is with the introduction of the clipbook🎬

The clipbook presenter gives our broadcast so much depth by reviewing incidents, overtakes and picking up on themes running through each race.

Another way to bring insight to the audience is with team radio🎧

We built an entire system stack from scratch which allows gathering radio messages to automatic real time playback during the broadcast.

Without it we would miss a lot of context during fun moments like this 🤣

Prior to getting hands on the first innovation had been made, picture in picture.

The importance of our creators to the series is an obvious one so connecting our audience to them is a key aspect of any broadcast.

Camera feeds help bring visual identity & insight into our race stories🎥
