The combination of free access, iconic archive content and Samsung’s huge platform reach creates a powerful new funnel for fan engagement and future growth. We’re excited to showcase the drama and storytelling of racing to a wider audience than ever before.”
Chris Gregory, Head of Content Development at Samsung TV Plus, added: “Racing TV Play is a fantastic addition to our sports offering on Samsung TV Plus.
