In a world where power, precision, and design collide — the McLaren Beyond Speed Tour stood out as a masterclass in automotive elegance and human connection. And Hayes Media was there every step of the way, ensuring every moment was immortalised in visuals as bold as the cars themselves. From drone work and videography to social-first photography and post-production, we had one goal: bring the Beyond Speed experience to life—for those who were there, and those who wish they were.
Three Nights. Five-Star Luxury. Thirteen McLarens. One Unforgettable Journey.
The tour kicked off at Daytona Melrose Arch, where 13 McLarens and 30 incredible guests set off on a luxury experience like no other. As the convoy pulled away, Hayes Media captured every detail — on the road, in motion, and in style.
Our first stop: Brahman Hills. As the cars approached, our drones took flight, capturing cinematic aerial shots of the supercars winding through the Midlands. Upon arrival, we continued with arrival content, lifestyle coverage, and some beautifully candid moments as guests checked in and gathered for dinner.
Day Two: Red Carpets, Ocean Views & McLarens on the Move
The morning after, it was time to hit the road again. The destination: the iconic Oyster Box Hotel in Umhlanga. But we didn’t just tag along. We worked in sync with the McLaren team, racing ahead to each location to ensure we captured every entrance, every engine note, every reaction. From drone flyovers of arrivals to on-the-move rolling shots, every frame was intentional. That evening, guests dressed in black tie for an elegant night at the IBV Prive Private Wealth Club—one of South Africa’s most prestigious venues. We captured timeless shots of the venue, candids of guests, and of course, every single arrival. Only once we knew the content was locked did we put our cameras down and toast to the night ourselves.
Track Day: McLarens Unleashed at Dezzi Raceway
The following morning brought something special: a full track day at Dezzi Raceway. The McLarens dominated the circuit while Hayes Media captured the energy, adrenaline, and emotion of the experience. It wasn’t just racing — it was art in motion. And we made sure that every frame, every rev, and every detail made it into the visual story.
Final Stop: Tylers Butcher, Umdloti – A Perfect Close
After the track, the convoy roared toward Tylers Butcher in Umdloti, where the tour closed out in true style. We captured every plate, every toast, every moment of connection between guests who, by now, had become more than just participants — they’d become part of the McLaren lifestyle.
Hayes Media’s Role
Throughout the entire Beyond Speed Tour, Hayes Media was responsible for:
• High-end videography & cinematic B-roll
• Drone footage across all key locations
• On-the-go photography optimised for social
• Post-production and editing for rapid delivery and campaign rollout
• Creative direction to ensure luxury storytelling across all content
We didn’t just film. We helped engineer the experience—so that long after the final meal and last drive, the McLaren Beyond Speed Tour lives on in motion.
