How do Mario Kart-Style ‘Ghosts car’ for automatic shows’

“GPS is good in places, but we go to places like Monaco, Baku, Singapore, where all the infrastructure and buildings really make GPS Drift,” says Dean Locke, a media broadcasting and digital for formula 1.

F1 cars are also much easier than their instant colleagues, who require lower weight sensors. His broadcast teams fought to compile full circle of ghosts or connected with covers as a result.

To set these limitations, F1 has built several models of internal modes based on past GPS data and Lidar scanning each track. He then integrated these models in the internal application that covered the synchronized video feed of the same past prime qualifications, and then compared two data entry side by side. First manually by recognizing deviations in which GPS qualification data is obvious that they were outside the video based on the video, the team could train their models to notice anomaly and correct them.

F1 The own function of the ghosts of the car is started over the broadcaster for the 2025 season. Years. It also contains a view of a car driver and a “helicopter” view above the car – especially for qualifications where the current driver is in front of the ghost car, because the ghosts would be invisible during car inspection in these situations.

However, the disadvantage, however,: F1 still cannot show its car with a ghost on live emissions. Since the team process still requires manually fine-tuning to ensure transparent auto ghosts positioned accuracy, Locke says it takes about 90 minutes to cross the ghosts of cars to broadcast partners after each qualification. The team’s goal is a 30-minute reversal to facilitate faster analysis of post-qualification. However, Locke says Ghost car emissions are immensely popular on social channels F1.

F1 unique competitors in Indicar, in the meantime, the NBC’s home was taken from the NBC. Starting the Vector Boxes, fully live the animation for cars Ghost used as a supermoized blanket for fox’s in-car Camera. This is not a 3D display, such as SMT’s previous car Ghost Ghost Ghost, which are replaced in a separate digital display (either full-screen or smaller format); it is a real camera for real life from broadcasting with centimeter car.

Judgment circles

The ghost cars are still in their relative concrete, especially for real live emissions. The hall sees that the use of this basic technology is spreading rapidly because emitters become better known with them – including race with full field next to qualification.

“You may want to compare wear in the tires”, hall in position. “Let me show you this car now run live and let me show you this car before five places where it was on different tires.”

Hall also proposes the idea of ​​more car ghosts for qualifications; One for the sex of Sitter, but maybe others for bubble positions or other relevant points.

It’s easy to see the ghost cars playing on your television only could be the beginning of the way this ultra-specific car data will be used. Just look at the Nascar; SMT received interest from several teams within less than a year of the pioneer vector. The teams wanted to use data from the tactical purposes such as the analysis of demand or comparisons with competitors and SMT developed the Team Analytics application.

The demand was so high that Nacar opened NaCar to allow this data to allow complete access to everyone. They can see everything from car positioning to transfer and gas data, not just for their own drivers, but for the entire field. Team Analytics has a function that allows multiple folds to the spirit, allowing crews to compare driving or converted speeds.

“Now in every story of PIT, it is a central sign in,” Hall says. “Because teams crews, they want to know: How is my car compared to other cars? And because it doesn’t just position it in the track, it’s a gear, gas, and so they compare their performance to each other.

It is probably just a matter of time before these functions take place in Indicir and F1 teams.

Locke says those teams will “use absolutely everything they can improve in another team”, although notes that F1 teams already collect the wealth of internal data on their vehicles.
