The original content series are called Road to Flying Car Racing, Finding Extreme Pilots, and Building Flying Cars.

The shows were filmed in partnership with Airspeeder’s in-house media team and Aurora Media Worldwide.

The tie-up is aimed at building an audience for the new sport ahead of its slated manned racing launch in 2024.

Stephen Sidlo, director of global media and marketing for Airspeeder, said: “We are thrilled to partner with DAZN and showcase the excitement and innovation of our new sport to a global audience.
