LeMans Racing Speeds into Asia with Host Broadcaster EPM & CTVS as the Pacesetters

This event had a particular nemissing challenger by the name of

“Rain”. CTVS has produced pictures and sound in Earthquakes,

Tsunamis, Terrorist attacks, Blizzards, and now Monsoonal rains that

fall not only down in pours but from down to up, side to side, and

every which way. CTVS technicians again partnered with EPM have proven resilient and are equipped for most anything mother nature or man throws at us.

LeMans Racing raced for the checkered flag with CTVS and Host Broadcaster EPM in the southern Chinese city of Zhuhai---directly neighboring the booming Asian gambling mecca of Macao.
