The same thing is being done by the New Zealand Rally Championship, streaming live on Facebook at several points during their events.
Recently, M-Sport live streamed pre-event testing for the upcoming Rally Poland, going on-board with drivers Ott Tanak and Sebastien Ogier.
Young Australian driver, Arron Windus, also broadcast an Australian RallyCross race in a similar fashion.
These are fantastic viewing opportunities and gives us yet another medium to spread the word of our sport.
Rally fans rode live with Sebastien Ogier during an M-Sport test session.Broadcasting live interviews, on-boards and updates are all ways in which you can promote yourself using this technology.
There are, however, things to be considered before hitting the record button.
The dangerous nature of our sport makes this a risk, as accidents can and do happen, so driving at ten tenths with a live camera onboard is something that we wouldn’t necessarily recommend.
Mobile phone reception is also an issue, especially during a rally stage, but on a test, it’s something that could work well for you.
So take care, be smart, and remember you are broadcasting not just yourself, but our sport for everyone to see.
We want to promote ourselves to everyone, and this livestreaming is just another avenue.
Long may the sport benefit.
