At its heart is the calendar: every broadcast of the month as a grid or a list, in the visitor's own time zone. Any show can be saved in one click, as a single event in your own calendar, as a subscribed series that keeps itself up to date, or as a reminder right on YouTube. Past shows play the recording.
Videos play in a dedicated player right on racespot.tv. On desktop, it shrinks into the corner and keeps playing while you read, scroll or switch pages, or it pops out into its own window via picture-in-picture. Embeds run through youtube-nocookie.com, so no cookies are set until you press play.
On top of that: a live page, a broadcast archive with playlists, a news section and six fully indexed languages with clean hreflang, a sitemap and dedicated metadata for every page. Built with Next.js and tightly integrated with YouTube and our own editorial pipeline.
