Erebus Motorsport’s eight-part documentary series will debut tonight on Fox Sports.

The new show title Access All Areas: Erebus Motorsport was filmed over a two-year period covering the 2020 and 2021 Supercars Championship seasons and reportedly goes places no behind-the-scenes documentary has gone before.

Access All Areas commences with cameras embedded within the team in the thick of the contest at the 2020 Adelaide 500, as Erebus pushes to join Supercars’ elite as regular winners.

With unfiltered access to drivers’ David Reynolds and Anton De Pasquale both at and away from the circuit, the documentary then charts the unprecedented 2020 season as the team negotiated the Covid-19 Pandemic and the border closures throughout the year.

As if that wasn’t enough, cameras were there when the team underwent significant change prior to the 2021 season: Reynolds and De Pasquale departing the team to be replaced by an all-rookie squad comprised of young-guns Will Brown and Brodie Kostecki.

The incredible 2021 season, with all the highs and lows that are part of going racing with a pair of rookie drivers, is documented: culminating with a flying finish to the journey at the Bathurst 1000 late last year.

Key team personalities, including Team Principal Barry Ryan, Managing Director Shannen Kiely, engineers, mechanics and supporters are featured throughout – showcasing the breadth of talent it takes to operate at the top level of Aussie motorsport.

The documentary also offers a behind-the-scenes look at the life of Erebus owner Betty Klimenko and husband Daniel across the two remarkable years.

It’s not just racing, though: viewers will learn about Erebus Motorsport’s key people thanks to in-depth access to the team away from the circuit – from personal hobbies, jobs and then to workouts and almost everything in between.

Access All Areas is an unfiltered, raw, exciting and personal look at one of Supercars’ most talked-about racing teams, filled with big moments, big personalities and big stories across two big seasons.

The documentary was produced by Andrew Janson, Lachlan Russell & Samit Singh with the documentary narrated by renowned Australian actor Gary Sweet.

The first two episodes will air on Fox Sports 506 on Wednesday 2 March at 8pm, before they are on-demand via Kayo. The release coincides with the opening round of the 2022 Repco Supercars Championship at Sydney Motorsport Park

Two new episodes will then be broadcast each Wednesday, with the final episodes airing on 23 March.

The Seven Network will air two episodes a week starting Friday, March 4th via its broadcast video on demand platform, 7plus.
