A track centre team reported live through Twitter, Facebook and a Live Blog
The track was prominently branded with the Twitter name and hashtag
We had a dedicated video editor
• Short videos of the action were uploaded to YouTube and then shared across the social channels throughout the weekend
Over 80 separate videos were uploaded within minutes of the action
