Video: GoPro shows us how we all should be watching racing in the future


 
  news 
 

Of the few lucky and skilled enough to compete in motor racing, the feeling of getting your juices up during a race is something that very few things in this world can replicate. But for the rest of us that can’t handle a race car, watching races live or on television poses as the next best thing.

And then there’s GoPro, a company that wants to redefine the way we watch races. In these videos, GoPro attaches their tiny little HD Hero2 cameras on the ALMS race cars piloted by Gunnar Jeannette and Ken Dobson, showing us what kind of high-action racing we all should be watching on our screens.

The camera angles are amazing, for lack of a better way to describe it. The multitude of camera angles give us a totally new way of appreciating the thrills of racing, right down to the angle experienced by the pit lane mechanics.

Check out the videos GoPro released and there’s a good chance, you’ll start clamoring for these kind of up-close views on the next televised races you watch.

More videos after the jump!

I like the original view better. I’m in for the race anyway, and not for the drivers themselves.

No, I disagree. I’m contented with what I see on regular race shows.

Oh whatever. I’d still watch a race, whether the angles are taken normally, or if they’re captured like this.

I partly agree with this idea, but if you’ll ask me, I’d suggest to show multi-angled views plus the normal view.

This is ideal, but the normal view is still nicer, in my opinion. It’d be too boring to focus on the racers and cars themselves rather than the actual race.

With these shots, it’s more realistic and less boring; I can clearly witness their experience.

I actually am not impressed with this. It makes me dizzy! I’d rather watch from a normal angle.
