How to easily resolve disputes, get closer racing and gain more publicity for your series with in-car video

The use of video by race series is becoming more common and increasingly necessary. You probably have entrants already using video, and you may have started to consider how this could be implemented across your series or championship.

Having successfully worked with other race series, we can help you realise the potential of in car race video and data...

With everything that is happening on race day, you need to be sure that a video system is easy to use, quick to install, and above all that it can function reliably in the demanding conditions inside a race car. With its quick installation and automatic logging features, Video VBOX is intuitive to use, and the resulting footage is DVD quality.

Video VBOX is used by race teams, race series, industry testers, and drivers all over the world, and enables you to capture all the action with high accuracy and captivating detail from up to four bullet cameras.

User configurable graphics will overlay data on the video in real time, along with any logos.

The synchronised data and video can be analysed in Racelogic’s Circuit Tools software, and the video can be uploaded straight to YouTube or onto a DVD.

The system employs easily removable flash media, allowing for instant analysis should it be required.

Why use Video VBOX in your race series?

Video VBOX is an ideal tool for any race series because it aids closer racing, more easily resolved disputes, and adds sponsorship and promotion opportunities. Here’s how...

Resolving disputes

Crashes are costly. The number of incidents in one season can have a direct bearing on how many line up on the grid the following year. The use of video and data evidence dramatically reduces the number of incidents to begin with, and gives clarification when resolving disputes.

Video evidence has been used in a number of races as a part of the disciplinary procedure by stewards and marshals.

An accurate understanding of a racing incident has often resulted in cases being resolved far sooner.

Closer Racing

Every driver has access to the simple and popular Circuit tools software, which helps show where time could be gained on the track.

Slower drivers then have a far better chance of improving their times, ensuring closer racing as the season progresses.

Julian Thomas, MD of Racelogic, tried this himself by entering the FunCup series and cutting four seconds from his laptime, just by using Video VBOX. Closer racing means more entertainment, which in turn leads to increased exposure for you.

Publicity

Using Video VBOX footage really puts across the excitement of racing in your series. The video is therefore ideal for your website and promotional material. In addition the viral nature of videos and the ease of uploading to YouTube will increase your online presence.

Take this example of a VLN race at the Nurburgring, where one Video VBOX video got over 2300 YouTube views. Imagine the extra publicity if every one of the drivers in your series was to do this!

Sponsorship

Video VBOX’s graphic overlay allows you to have logos embedded in the videos. This is an ideal place for sponsorship, and because of the customisable nature of Video VBOX, it’s easily configured to suit different events and sponsors as you can see in the Australian GT video clip, below.

The Vodka O logo on the video clip from the Australian GT race below helped secure the sponsorship deal for the series.
