A film pilot on Flat racing in France will begin shooting on June 16, G1 Prix de Diane Day, Jour de Galop reported on Thursday.
Produced by Quad Lab, the project will be aimed at convincing Netflix, or another major platform to produce a documentary series on racing to boost exposure of the sport to a larger audience. The series would focus exclusively on the French racing scene.
Quad Lab, under the direction of Yann Le Bourbouach, already has a Netflix series to its credit: the cycling documentary series “Tour de France: Au Coeur du Peloton”. This model for sports documentaries focusing on intersecting stories which emphasise the adrenaline of competition was set by “Formula One, Drive to Survive”, whose producers joined Quad Productions.
Both series have given greater exposure to their respective sports, which has drawn a strong audiences, and also a younger demographic.
