Germany - Lighting designers Andreas Ellmerer and Thomas Brügge used nearly 180 Robe ColorSpot 1200E ATs for the high profile TV event, Pro 7 Stock Car Race. Lighting equipment was supplied by Ellmerer and Brügge's Cologne based company, Cape Cross Studio & Filmlichtgesellschaft who were working for show producers Brainpool.

Staged at the LTU Arena in Düsseldorf, the latest Pro 7 event, the TV Total Stock Car Crash Challenge saw about 30 VIPs - including singers, TV and sporting personalities - competing to demonstrate their driving skills in the race that was recorded and broadcast on German TV channel, Pro 7.

Of the 177 ColorSpot 1200E ATs, 40 were placed in the pit lane of the track, 72 were on a stage in the middle of the track mounted on the floor and 72 were on trusses in the ceiling of the indoor venue.

These were programmed, along with other moving lights, by Arkin Atakan on 2 grandMA full size consoles. One desk drove the show and effects lighting, while the other controlled all the white light sources.
