The Driver’s Eye system, featuring inside-the-helmet camera technology, will debut in this season’s NTT IndyCar Series broadcasts on FOX. The tiny camera, placed between the driver’s head and the helmet’s shell, will offer viewers a unique perspective of the action on the track. This technology, facilitated by Racing Force Group from Italy, has previously been used in Formula 1 and NASCAR broadcasts. FOX viewers can now experience in-car views from the Dallara DW12 chassis equipped with the aeroscreen safety device introduced in 2020. While this marks a new development for Penske Entertainment’s IndyCar Series, older fans may recall a similar in-helmet view from the early 2000s with the former CART IndyCar Series. The potential expansion of this technology across multiple helmet vendors could bring more diverse driver perspectives to the broadcast coverage throughout the 17-race calendar.
