Los Angeles-based P-UNO Motorpsorts TV will air eight races on SPEED Latin America in 2010, with broadcasts going to more than forty countries and territories.

"In fact, we'll broadcast nine programs, eight events and a recap of the season. Seems that the network is happy with our performance and they renewed our contract for this year," said Hector Cademartori, President of P-UNO.  "We aired eight races in 2009 with two repetitions each (24 programs) and two repetitions each again in February of this year (16 programs) for a total of 40 hours of Star Mazda racing on TV."

The eight races for 2010 will be: Sebring, the two ovals in Iowa and Indianapolis (ORP), one of each of the double-headers in New Jersey and Autobahn, the two Canadian events in Mosport and Trois Rivieres and the season finale in Road Atlanta.  Please see the www.StarMazda.com web site for race dates.

The first two races, Sebring and ORP (Indianapolis) already have an airing date with a repetition: Sebring: June 13 at 10AM and 11PM and ORP : Jun 26 at 10AM and June 27 at 11PM (Mexico Time).  Hector Cademartori and Pedro Serramalera, P-UNO's principals, produce the commentary in Spanish and in Portuguese for the Brazilian market.

In total, SPEED Latin America will broadcast the Star Mazda Championship races to more than 40 countries, including all of the most important racing markets: Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Colombia and Venezuela.  In addition, races will be broadcast in Anguilla, Aruba, Antigua, the Bahamas, Barbados, Barbuda, Belize, Bolivia, the British Virgin Islands, the Cayman Islands, Chile, Costa Rica, Dominica, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Grenada, Guadalupe, Guatemala, Guyana, Haiti, Honduras, Jamaica, Martinique, Montserrat, Netherlands Antilles, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, St. Christopher (St. Kitts) and Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Marten, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago, Turks and Caicos Islands and Uruguay.

Los Angeles-based P-UNO Motorsports TV has an agreement with the Star Mazda Championship presented by Goodyear in Latin America.  P-UNO principals are Hector Cademartori, world-renowned motorsports artist and a journalist for 35 years and Pedro Serramalera, a long time racing enthusiast and also a driver in the Star Mazda Championship.

The main targets of the project are three fold: to promote the series in Latin America, to inform drivers from that part of the world about the Star Mazda Championship and encourage them to further their careers by racing in North America, and to generate exposure for the sponsors of South American drivers in their home markets.  Serramalera and Cademartori will provide voiceover commentary in Spanish and SPEED will provide a version in Portuguese for the Brazilian market.
