The path to Porto: WRC readies for iconic Rally de Portugal

By Adrian Pennington Friday, April 26, 2024 - 08:40 Print This Story

After Monte Carlo, Sweden, Kenya and Croatia, the FIA World Rally Championship (WRC) moves to Portugal on 9 May for the start of the European gravel phase and promises spectacle in and around the scenic city of Porto.

As well as being the biggest sporting event held annually in Portugal, the Rally de Portugal is ranked as one of the championship’s classic events with challenging stages including the legendary Fafe jump before the finish. Belgium’s Thierry Neuville, who drives for Hyundai, heads into the event championship leader.

“Rally de Portugal is a really big broadcast for us. It’s a spectacular rally and one of our biggest in terms of on-site audience attendance,” says Florian Ruth, senior director content & communication at rights holder WRC Promotor.

Difficult stages

This year’s course is made up of 22 stages, more than any here since 2012, spread across a large geographic area and reaching a total length of 1,690km. This includes a night stage in the host city itself around the maze of beautiful streets converging on the river Douro and the famous Dom Luís metal arch bridge.

This makes the event logistically complex.

“We have a very experienced team on the ground and a very good partner with [Portuguese national broadcaster] RTP with whom we have an excellent relationship to make a great co-production,” Ruth adds.

Florian Ruth

On the ground, RTP is supporting WRC with production facilities particularly for the Porto night stage. WRC runs four OB vans across the different stages with the live world feed gallery produced at WRC TV’s production hub in Helsinki managed by technical production provider NEP Finland.

Aerial coverage is provided by two helis (one with Cineflex, another carrying Shotover) and a pair of drones. These are just four of over 100 camera sources. Each of the first 15 cars are fitted with three to four onboards (around 45 onboards in total). These are bespoke builds developed by NEP for the WRC.

For main stage coverage feeds from the onboards, heli and some selected ground cameras are relayed via a relay plane to Helsinki. This isn’t the only connectivity pathway.

Ruth explains: “We can send feeds from the OB trucks via the plane and we can send line cuts from the trucks via satellite and also via LiveU. For example, we transmit all the live TV stages of the main race on satellite. Then, when the support categories [WRC2 and WRC3] begin, we switch to RF contribution. In addition, we have a variety of other camera crew also providing feeds via LiveU. All of RTP’s feeds are contributed over domestic fibre, managed by Tata Communications.”

In Helsinki, WRC teams produce the world feed adding commentary, graphics and final mix before distributing to right holders via fibre, by SRT streams or via satellite.

Races are produced in full HD encoded in HEVC, still considered by WRC and most leading live sports producers as a less complex production format than four channels of HD for 4K UHD.

Capturing the excitement

Editorially, a chief goal of WRC coverage is to combine the action on the circuit and in the cars with the excitement of the live event. To do this it selects camera positions from which it can pan from racing action to emotion in the crowd.

“The stadium stages of the Rally de Portugal in particular, will focus a lot on the crowd atmosphere. We expect 30,000-40,000 spectators and we want to see their emotion,” he adds.

Audio comms between driver and co-driver is a unique aspect to this motorsport and one which WRC coverage leans into. A multimedia box installed under the driver’s seat records driver and co-driver exchanges and transmits them via the plane back to the Helsinki base. External mics on the car, positioned to pick up the engine as well as the sound of gravel (rocky or sandy) terrain, are also fed back from the car. Additional audio is gathered from mics arrayed around the circuit and among spectators.

Sunday’s decisive stage will be made up of double passes through the 19.91km of Cabeceiras de Basto, of which 12.6km are completely new, and the iconic 11.18km of Fafe, attended by 100,000 people many of whom will have stayed to party overnight. The hillsides overlooking the sweeping bends that precede it are a magnet for fans.

“The stadium stages of the Rally de Portugal in particular will focus a lot on the crowd atmosphere. We expect 30,000-40,000 spectators and we want to see their emotion”

“When the first car comes through, they sing like a football crowd and that is what we want to hear and transmit,” says Ruth.

In all the team will produce 22 to 25 hours of live coverage across the four-day event culled from over 400 hours of total content. That translates to between 15TB and 20TB of material.

All key footage is transferred via fibre to the Helsinki hub. There the WRC produces daily highlights, news packages, digital clips, social media content and assets all of which lands in a new digital archive system launched in conjunction with Moments Lab (formerly Newsbridge). This WRC Championship is accessible to rights holders, broadcasters and sponsors.

Last August, the WRC combined its various distribution platforms into Rally.TV, a 24/7 linear and OTT home of all rally and rallycross events. Its broadcast strategy is to serve rights holders and grow the audience for the product, which makes a recent carriage deal with DAZN significant. Rally de Portugal marks the start of its involvement.

“As our co-operation with them is just about to start, DAZN first need to learn our product but we are having good conversations with them and they have some good ideas. Their editorial teams are very promising and the promotion they will do for us will help grow the championship,” says Ruth.

Six of the 22 stages of Rally de Portugal are packaged as live TV stages for distribution on mainstream channels.

“The live TV stages are where we do wider storytelling, character building and updates as to what has happened in the rally so far. If you’re not so deep into watching every moment of every stage we can catch a broader audience,” he adds.

The competition is a race against the clock rather than head-to-head on the track so the editorial leans into the personalities of the drivers and in particular the relationship between driver and co-driver in the cockpit.

“That’s an aspect we focus on a lot in our storytelling because it sets us apart from every other motorsport,” Ruth says.

WRC Promoter is also keen to enrich fan understanding with virtual overlays and time and section comparisons.

“We are showcasing the pinnacle of world rally drivers in cars which are so competitive that even when racing over 20+km to the limit the difference between them at the end is just tenths of a second,” Ruth says. “We are trying more and more to visualise the differences. Every millimetre and every centimetre on every turn counts and we are trying with digital enhancements to make this more and more visible to the viewer.”

Remote production

Production moved to a remote model in 2022 and it is proving successful on several levels, one of which is improved sustainability.

Ruth says the WRC is conscious that its CO2 footprint is being monitored and that its remote production has already had a substantive positive impact.

“Simply in terms of plane travel there’s a lot less people and freight we have to fly. We have reduced our emissions a lot”, he reveals.

There is, of course, a cost benefit in not transporting all the facilities and people to every location but one plus “more important than cost efficiency” is production resiliency, according to Ruth. To produce a rally in the middle of a safari park live from Helsinki was an ambition WRC had long wanted to achieve, Ruth says, and it was achieved for the first time last year with the WRC Safari Rally Kenya, and successfully repeated this year.

“The first year we travelled to Kenya the production facilities suffered. It’s not only Kenya. Mexico too. The more you rig in remote locations the greater the risk of failure,” he explains.

“Every millimetre and every centimetre on every turn counts and we are trying with digital enhancements to make this more and more visible to the viewer”

Driving on bumpy roads tended to loosen screws in gear, EVS kit needed dedusting of sand, 40º heat doesn’t help either.

Now, with all the essential production parts moved offsite there is less need to cable everything and less need to check and double check. He continues: “There always the chance of a broken connector on-site so to remove all that risk and be in a very stable environment where everything is perfectly connected and tested in a state-of-the-art IP production hub makes a big difference.”

Looking ahead, in June the WRC is returning to Poland, a country with a strong fanbase (it lost its place on the calendar due to repeated breaches of spectator safety) and it’s launching a new rally in Latvia in July.

There’s also WRC Finland in August “our Monaco Grand Prix”, Ruth says, “one of the most prestigious on the calendar”. Indeed, some of the most spectacular rallies in terms of landscape are still to come, with teams set to race at high altitude in Chile before the season finale in Japan, home of reigning World Champions Toyota Gazoo Racing and one of their two full-time drivers, Takamoto Katsuta.

For the first time Rosatom Fuel Division supplied fresh nuclear fuel to the world’s only floating nuclear cogeneration plant in the Arctic

The fuel was supplied to the northernmost town of Russia along the Northern Sea Route.

The first in the history of the power plant refueling, that is, the replacement of spent nuclear fuel with fresh one, is planned to begin before 2024. The manufacturer of nuclear fuel for all Russian nuclear icebreakers, as well as the Akademik Lomonosov FNPP, is Machinery Manufacturing Plant, Joint-Stock Company (MSZ JSC), a company of Rosatom Fuel Company TVEL that is based in Elektrostal, Moscow Region.

The FNPP includes two KLT-40S reactors of the icebreaking type. Unlike convenient ground-based large reactors (that require partial replacement of fuel rods once every 12-18 months), in the case of these reactors, the refueling takes place once every few years and includes unloading of the entire reactor core and loading of fresh fuel into the reactor.

The cores of KLT-40 reactors of the Akademik Lomonosov floating power unit have a number of advantages compared to the reference ones: a cassette core was used for the first time in the history of the unit, which made it possible to increase the fuel energy resource to 3-3.5 years between refuelings, and also reduce the fuel component of the electricity cost by one and a half times. The FNPP operating experience formed the basis for the designs of reactors for nuclear icebreakers of the newest series 22220. Three such icebreakers have been launched by now.

For the first time the power units of the Akademik Lomonosov floating nuclear power plant were connected to the grid in December 2019, and put into commercial operation in May 2020. The supply of nuclear fuel from Elektrostal to Pevek and its loading into the second reactor is planned for 2024. The total power of the Akademik Lomonosov FNPP, supplied to the coastal grid of Pevek without thermal energy consumption on shore, is about 76 MW, being about 44 MW in the maximum thermal power supply mode. The FNPP generated 194 million kWh according to the results of 2023. The population of Pevek is just a little more than 4 thousand, while the FNPP has a potential for supplying electricity to a city with a population of up to 100 thousand people. After the FNPP commissioning two goals were achieved. These include first of all the replacement of the retiring capacities of the Bilibino NPP, which has been operating since 1974, as well as the Chaunskaya TPP, which has already been operating for more than 70 years. Secondly, energy is supplied to the main mining companies in western Chukotka in the Chaun-Bilibino energy hub a large ore and metal cluster, including gold mining companies and projects related to the development of the Baimsk ore zone. In September 2023, a 110 kilovolt power transmission line with a length of 490 kilometers was put into operation, connecting the towns of Pevek and Bilibino. The line increased the reliability of energy supply from the FNPP to both Bilibino consumers and mining companies, the largest of which is the Baimsky GOK. The comprehensive development of the Russian Arctic is a national strategic priority. To increase the NSR traffic is of paramount importance for accomplishment of the tasks set in the field of cargo shipping. This logistics corridor is being developed due regular freight voyages, construction of new nuclear-powered icebreakers and modernization of the relevant infrastructure. Rosatom companies are actively involved in this work. Rosatom Fuel Company TVEL (Rosatom Fuel Division) includes companies fabricating nuclear fuel, converting and enriching uranium, manufacturing gas centrifuges, conducting researches and producing designs. As the only nuclear fuel supplier to Russian NPPs, TVEL supplies fuel for a total of 75 power reactors in 15 countries, for research reactors in nine countries, as well as for propulsion reactors of the Russian nuclear fleet. Every sixth power reactor in the world runs on TVEL fuel. Rosatom Fuel Division is the world’s largest producer of enriched uranium and the leader on the global stable isotope market. The Fuel Division is actively developing new businesses in chemistry, metallurgy, energy storage technologies, 3D printing, digital products, and decommissioning of nuclear facilities. TVEL also includes Rosatom integrators for additive technologies and electricity storage systems. Rosenergoatom, Joint-Stock Company is part of Rosatom Electric Power Division and one of the largest companies in the industry acting as an operator of nuclear power plants. It includes, as its branches, 11 operating NPPs, including the FNPP, the Scientific and Technical Center for Emergency Operations at NPPs, Design and Engineering as well as Technological companies. In total, 37 power units with a total installed capacity of over 29.5 GW are in operation at 11 nuclear power plants in Russia. Machinery Manufacturing Plant, Joint-Stock Company (MSZ JSC, Elektrostal) is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of fuel for nuclear power plants. The company produces fuel assemblies for VVER-440, VVER-1000, RBMK-1000, BN-600,800, VK-50, EGP-6; powders and fuel pellets intended for supply to foreign customers. It also produces nuclear fuel for research reactors. The plant belongs to the TVEL Fuel Company of Rosatom.

Rosatom obtained a license for the first land-based SMR in Russia

On April 21, Rosenergoatom obtained a license issued by Rostekhnadzor to construct the Yakutsk land-based SMR in the Ust-Yansky District of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia).

ROSATOM and FEDC agree to cooperate in the construction of Russia's first onshore SNPP

ROSATOM and FEDC have signed a cooperation agreement to build Russia's first onshore SNPP in Yakutia.
