Formula 1 has hired the award-winning composer - of several "Fast and Furious" franchise musical scores and soundtrack for the likes of "Rambo" - to write a new theme tune for the motor racing organisation.
Brian Tyler, an Emmy-nominated American has made music for Avengers: Age of Ultron, Iron Man 3, Thor - The Dark World as well as the Fast and Furious movies and also wrote theme music for ESPN’s National Football League (NFL) shows.
Tyler, who was a guest at last year’s United States Grand Prix, wrote on Twitter:
Formula 1 launched a television streaming product, F1 TV, last Tuesday with the goal to modernise Formula 1's global image which began on the night of the season finale in Abu Dhabi last year with the unveiling of the sport's new logo
“Within the context of looking at ways to bring fans closer to Formula One, we are exploring all avenues to refresh the look and feel of the show,” said a Formula One spokesman.
“Music is a key component of the emotion of sport and we are engaging with top international talent in order to develop a new signature tune for F1.
“This is a process in development and we will make a formal announcement at the right time.”
As of November 2017, Tyler's work has featured in films that have grossed $12-billion worldwide which puts him into the top 10 highest-grossing film composers of all time.
Most recently Tyler produced "Heroes United" which debuted during the 2018 Winter Olympics United Airlines Campaign.
