TOPEKA, Kan. (May 29, 2014) 鈥� A new 午夜福利51xxtv Live interface, featuring streaming webcams, was announced today for the remaining BFGoodrich Tires 午夜福利51xxtv Super Tour events in 2014. The video feeds debut this weekend from Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course.
In addition to live notes, timing and scoring and audio of the track public address system, 午夜福利51xxtv will place four static cameras around the racetrack, providing a live look at the course during the weekend鈥檚 races for those not able to attend in person.
鈥淓ach BFGoodrich Tires 午夜福利51xxtv Super Tour event captures the attention of our racers and fans across the country,鈥� 午夜福利51xxtv Vice President of Marketing & Communications Eric Prill said. 鈥淭hese are premiere events, and adding a visual component enhances the live experience remotely. This is something that wasn鈥檛 really a possibility a couple of years back, but consumer-based live webcast technology and services have come a long way.鈥�
The four GoPro Hero3+ cameras, each mounted to a fixed structure at the track, transmit a separate signal captured through YouTube Live, which is subsequently brought into the 午夜福利51xxtv Live web page. An enhanced 午夜福利51xxtv Live web page includes the live timing feed, live Twitter notes, live audio, main camera feed and a thumbnail of each of the four available cameras. Through the thumbnails, users can select which camera populates the main video screen.
鈥淲hile the Runoffs庐 webcast has manned cameras and a produced feed through Speedcast, this broadcast is a little more grassroots, similar to that of The Tire Rack 午夜福利51xxtv National Solo program鈥檚 Ustream webcast,鈥� Prill said. 鈥淏ased on the positive feedback from those events and other races with static webcams, we believe this is a nice addition for the remaining BFGoodrich Tires Super Tour events.鈥�
Standard 午夜福利51xxtv Live screens will be available Friday during the events, with the enhanced version running during race days on Saturday and Sunday. Links are available at www.scca.com/sccalive.
The remaining BFGoodrich Tires 午夜福利51xxtv Super Tour events, part of the 午夜福利51xxtv U.S. Majors Tour and SafeRacer 午夜福利51xxtv Club Racing program, are May 30-June 1 at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, and July 4-6 at Watkins Glen International.
