TWMR selects Ikegami camera systems for motorsports productions

Two Wheels Motor Racing Sdn Bhd (TWMR), a motorsports event production specialist, has invested in Ikegami broadcast camera systems, strengthening its ability to deliver high-impact, next-generation live race production. TWMR hopes the purchase will redefine motorsports coverage across the Asia Pacific region.

TWMR is well-established in Asia’s motorsports scene through its subsidiary company TWTV Production Sdn Bhd. It provides end-to-end production for high-speed racing events including regional championship circuit races, endurance challenges and compact street circuit races. The company has also played a key role in hosting and supporting internationally recognised events such as the Super GT and the FIM Asia Road Racing Championship, demonstrating its capability to meet global broadcast standards.

The deployment includes Ikegami UHK-X600 cameras enabling four times high frame rate (HFR) slow-motion capture, and HDK-X500 models for high-quality live production for up to 16 race track viewpoints. Together these support HDR imaging and advanced HFR workflows, delivering the sharper contrast, richer colours and smooth replay sequences essential for modern motorsports broadcasting. The HDK-X500 units deliver broadcast-grade coverage across multiple camera positions, augmented by the UHK-X600 cameras which allow the production team to capture every fraction of a second in slow motion, from tire deformation during rapid braking to close overtakes.

“Motorsports production demands absolute reliability and precision, especially in high-speed environments where there are no second takes,” commented Ron Hogg, promotion director, TWMR. “Ikegami’s cameras deliver outstanding image quality, particularly in HDR and high frame rate replay, while their strong local support gives us confidence in every deployment. This investment allows us to raise the bar for live race coverage and deliver a more immersive experience to our audience.”
