KTM Motohall

Racing Heroes

2019
Made of Speed
360° racing film puts visitors in the middle of KTM’s world championship stories.

At the KTM Motohall in Mattighofen, the installation Racing Heroes turns a hall of fame into a full-body encounter with motorsport. Between life-size statues of 30 world champion riders and their original machines, a surrounding film sequence lets visitors experience the tempo, risk, and focus that define KTM racing.

Tamschick Media + Space conceived and produced the 13-minute panoramic showcase that turns raw race footage into a tightly choreographed space experience.

The Racing Heroes installation uses the entire room as a projection surface, with images wrapping around visitors and the sculptures of the riders. The film is structured like a race weekend compressed into 13 minutes: preparation, start, peak moments, and release.

Camera work, editing, and graphic rhythm are designed for extreme perspectives – low over asphalt, cutting through dust and mud, sweeping over dunes and forest tracks. Sound and light work with the image to underline shifts between disciplines and terrains, from MotoGP to rally raids.

Standing inside the race

Visitors stand among the world champions while the film runs as a continuous loop around them. Engines roar from all sides, landscapes rush past at steep angles, and braking zones, crashes, and victories are felt as changes in energy rather than mere plot points.

The circular projection turns the audience into part of the field of action: there is no single front, just different lines through the same race. For KTM, the Motohall becomes a place where the statement “motorsport is our driving force” is understood and transferred as a feeling to visitors viscerally.

Turning speed into emotion

KTM wanted more than a static display of bikes and trophies. The Motohall needed to communicate why racing is the emotional core of the brand: the speed, danger, and obsession that sit behind the hardware.

The film had to work for lifelong fans and casual visitors, deliver stadium-level intensity in a controlled museum environment, and integrate precisely with the circular architecture of the Heroes of Racing gallery.

Racing Heroes sharpens the Motohall’s role as KTM’s emotional centerpiece. The installation turns championship statistics and historic machines into a shared experience that supports brand storytelling, client events, and fan engagement.

By aligning content, sound, and space around the idea of speed, the project shows how a focused media work can define the atmosphere of an entire exhibition level.
