F1 has been doing this for a while. They've had some great camera angles on the cars for the last 20 years and in the last 5 or so (at least in the UK) we've been able to stream the race online, select different cameras and see live telemetry and car locations via GPS. This live timing map is nice but it's nothing new. The major players have been doing it for a few years.
- watmough 14y agoIt's a tad different in the US. The US Speed Channel 'coverage' is three guys in a shed in North Carolina watching the feed. Worse still, it's continually interrupted by long ads. Great example of why US style cable TV just plain sucks.
- sitharus 14y agoI've noticed this watching the Indycar races. In NZ they come over Sky Sport, which doesn't really have ads. If it's in the middle of a race we stay with the live feed while the US breaks for ads. I don't know how you manage to watch sports when all the action happens during breaks and you don't get replays.
