Supercars has announced that in partnership with Racing Force International, the Driver’s Eye™ in helmet micro camera technology will be introduced into the 2023 Supercars Championship.
Australia’s top motorsport series will use the unique view of the Driver’s Eye™ micro camera system.
Supercars and Racing Force International, a company of Racing Force Group, announced a multi-year agreement with the Supercars Championship for the introduction of the innovative Driver’s Eye™ technology developed and patented by Zeronoise, the electronics division of Racing Force Group.
Driver’s Eye™ is the world’s first and only FIA homologated micro camera that can be integrated inside a racing helmet.
It is a Racing Force Group patented technology that stretched the boundaries of what was possible by delivering the smallest camera in the world for live broadcasting in January 2020. Following its most recent evolutions, the camera achieved an impressive size of 9×9 mm and a weight of 1.43 grams.
The partnership between Racing Force International and Supercars comes on the verge of a pivotal year, with 2023 seeing the introduction of the Gen3 technical regulations for the series.
Alexandros Miotto Haristos, COO, Racing Force Groupsaid “The Repco Supercars Championship is yet another top motorsport series to adopt the Driver’s Eye™ technology to enrich the show with its spectacular immersive experience.
“We are delighted to strengthen our presence in the Australian series, where our brands of OMP and Bell Helmets already have a very significant presence, having been alongside all Supercars champions in the last six years.
“This agreement is an important milestone for the Driver’s Eye™ technology that signs its rapid expansion across the world of car racing and soon also in other disciplines.”
David Tunnicliffe, Supercars Head of Broadcastconfirmed that the Driver’s Eye™ system is going to provide fans with a new perspective from inside the helmet in live race conditions, showing the skill it takes to drive a Supercar on some of the toughest circuits in the world.
“The camera will be positioned at eye-level on the protective padding on the inside lining of the helmet, transmitting live footage from behind the visor directly to television screens. Driver’s Eye™ adds a unique dimension to the viewing experience and the innovative camera technology immerses fans in wheel-to-wheel racing.
“We look forward to showing off our Gen3 Camaros and Mustangs from a completely new perspective to audiences around the world from 2023.”
Chevrolet Camaro and Ford Mustang will be the models in action, designed to create closer racing for the fans, both on track and on the screen.
The next season Supercars will kick off at the Newcastle 500, on the streets of New South Wales second largest city from 10-12 March 2023.
