US motorsport series AMA Pro Racing, IMSA and Nascar have joined forces to launch a new live streaming platform that will provide coverage to events not broadcast on television.
FansChoice.tv will be the official home for motorcycling’s AMA Pro Road Racing and AMA Pro Flat Track events in 2014.
IMSA coverage will include streaming of its developmental and single-make series, as well as selected practice and qualifying sessions for the two national sports car series – the United SportsCar Championship and SportsCar Challenge.
Several Nascar All-American Series tracks have already committed to live streaming their weekly events, including Langley Speedway in Hampton, Virginia, Lake County Speedway in Painesville, Ohio, and Evergreen Speedway in Monroe, Washington. Fans will have the ability to select from multiple cameras positioned around the tracks during these events.
FansChoice.tv will also carry select Nascar K&N Pro Series, Nascar Modified Tour races, as well as off-track events such as the Nascar All-American Series Awards and Nascar Night of Champions Touring Series Awards in December.
In addition, FansChoice.tv will seek to enhance fans' viewing experience at the track with the ability to watch multiple cameras on their tablet or mobile device, and access archived broadcasts on demand. Content will be provided free of charge on a global basis.
“FansChoice.tv will be a good additional resource, and possibly home, for some of our series,” David Pettit, IMSA vice-president of marketing, said. “We’re looking forward to exploring the platform this week during our Sebring event and ultimately this site will serve as a diverse home for motorsports.”
