A1GP’s new ‘Dashboard’ feature is set to bring a new dimension to following motorsport. ‘Dashboard’ will be accessible via A1GP.com during pratice and race sessions. It allows users to select any car on track and follow its progress via a live telemetry feed (see example above).
Live timing on the internet is nothing new, but user defined access to live telemetry is. And it promises to be very cool. The feature has already been trialled during last year’s round at Malaysia, with plenty of positive feedback from A1GP Fanzone members, despite some initial teething problems.
Pete da Silva, CEO of A1GP World Cup of Motorsport, said: “This is an excellent new feature which fans of international motor racing have never been able to access before. We are sure it will make watching our races on TV even more exciting, giving an added dimension to following the action of a race for every fan. It also adds to our impressive profile of free online content on A1GP.com, including our live video streaming, highlights videos, live positioning timing as well as our exclusive columns and news.â€
You can try it out for yourself next weekend during the New Zealand round (23-25 January). Full details listed below.
