VAILO will install a large LED display in the centre of the circuit behind race control. With it you will be able to catch all the action trackside as well as some content made from the Pedal Prix community.

“The addition of the VAILO screen will take the event to another level,” said Marcus Lacey, CEO of AIPP.

“The technology is amazing and will provide a new and exciting experience for everyone at this major regional event. Live track feed, live results, track side interviews, the scope of content that can be brilliantly displayed is exciting.”

VAILO has been well known for being part of the sporting world most notably, their contribution to the AFL Gather Round and of course being the major sponsor for the Adelaide 500.

VAILO’s Founder, Aaron Hickman shared his enthusiasm ahead of next weeks great race:

“We’ve gained an appreciation for the scale of the UniSA Australian HPV Super Series, especially the 24-hour Australian International Pedal Prix at Murray Bridge,” said Hickman.

“As a company heavily involved in lighting and digital display projects for educational institutions, this partnership is a great way for us to give back to the community.”

UniSA Australian HPV Super Series commentator, Daniel Loechel shared his excitement with the addition for the big event:

“It’s truly an exciting time for the series as we will be able to maximise this tool. With the VAILO screen being implemented, as well as showing the live feed and interview, it’ll provide the opportunity for the community to show off their work.”

“With the VAILO screen, a number of Pedal Prix content creators will get the chance to show off their work to the whole Pedal Prix community. The things these creators make is truly surreal and I cannot wait to share their work with the community.”

The Australian Human Powered Vehicle Super Series (AHPVSS)—a premier event celebrating innovation, sustainability, and endurance—is set for a major transformation in February 2025. After years of support from the University of South Australia, the major sponsorship branding will transition to Adelaide University, ushering in a new era of growth and opportunity for the series.

For decades, the AHPVSS has been a showcase of human ingenuity, where school, university, and community teams design, build, and race human-powered vehicles. These events push the boundaries of sustainable transport, foster technical excellence, and unite passionate participants from across Australia.

The University of South Australia has played a pivotal role in the series’ expansion, driving innovation, improving race conditions, and enhancing safety measures. Their commitment has left a lasting legacy, providing young engineers and designers with a platform to test their skills and creativity.

Now, as Adelaide University takes the reins, the series is set for its next chapter and will be renamed as AUAHPVSS effective immediately.

With the 2025 season kicking off late next month in Mt Gambier, teams and riders have been very busy behind the scenes preparing for another great year for the sport.
