RACER Network

If you’re a gearhead, racer, or car enthusiast, there are some great things happening in the automotive and racing world!

At a time when other automotive networks are shutting down, MAVTV has officially joined the RACER family, and with that comes a bold new vision for the future of motorsports media and GEARZ is part of that future. The new season will still be airing on Racer Network (same placement on your dial) as an anchor to their Builder’s Block.

As part of this exciting transition, MAVTV is rebranding as the RACER Network, and the MAVTV GO app is becoming RACER+.

This will allow RACER to extend beyond print, digital, and social outlets to deliver compelling racing and car culture content across new platforms in television and streaming—all under one unified brand. Backed by RACER’s decades-long legacy of insightful commentary, in-depth storytelling, and industry leadership, this move allows the network to connect with fans, teams, drivers, builders, and partners in more meaningful and innovative ways.

The introduction of the RACER Network brings incredible growth opportunities for the entire motorsports and racing community. This evolution has the potential to elevate the visibility of all motorsports and be the go-to source for all things gearhead related.
