What to expect from F1’s new rear-facing camera
Teams and series bosses did not agree on a new points structure at the recent meeting in Geneva, but they did finalize plans for introducing new rear-facing cameras at the Barcelona event in June. The new camera will provide fans with a unique view of pursuing cars by being placed on top of the rear crash structure at the back of the car, offering an unobstructed perspective. F1 is departing from its previous setup, where the camera was positioned in the middle of the car near the cockpit, with the new angle promising a spectacular view of cars running closely. F1’s director of broadcast and media, Dean Locke, believes that the new camera angle will emulate the excitement of on-board footage from other racing categories, such as saloon and touring car racing. Despite technical challenges with positioning the camera and ensuring signal quality, all hurdles have been cleared, and approval has been granted to implement the new cameras starting from the Spanish GP event.
