‘More than Machine’ is a six-episode deep dive into the reality of running a team competing at the top-level of the FIA World Rally Championship.
Produced in partnership with SafetyCulture by Superlative Films, the docuseries follows the daily lives of drivers, engineers, technicians, and other team members behind-the-scenes on WRC events and at the team’s base in Cumbria, UK, as they fight to hold onto their position within the highly competitive world championship series.
The first episode is due to be released on August 22nd, jumping in at the 2024 WRC season’s third round in Kenya and documents Adrien Fourmaux’s second career podium, whilst Grégoire Munster aims to match his teammate’s pace.
The docuseries, which will air on WRC’s YouTube Channel not only follows the drivers, but also co-drivers, team managers, and people from across the M-Sport contingent. ‘More than Machine’ will bring never-before-told stories to life. With people at its core, the new series shows the highs, lows, joys, and sacrifices experienced by the people who make rallies happen.
M-Sport Ford’s MD Malcolm Wilson said: “I’m very proud to see the creation of this insightful series about what it takes to be a World Rally Team. Showcasing the hard work and tenacity of the team, as well as introducing some of the characters we have is a pleasure to watch.
“Up until now the WRC has not delved into the backstories of the people who make the operation work, so having the chance to show this to a global audience is something very special. I hope everyone enjoys watching our journeys in WRC as much as we have enjoyed working with the production team on it.”
“We’re thrilled to share ‘More than Machine’ with our global audience, as well as soon-to-be fans,” said Jona Siebel, Managing Director of WRC Promoter. “This series showcases the real essence of rallying, highlighting not just the incredible machinery but also the extraordinary people who push them to their limits. It’s a celebration of our sport and a fascinating insight into the spirit of competition.”
