Racecam was used in America for the first time during the NASCAR's 1979 Daytona 500 race.
A video camera system that has transformed the vision of motorsports as the audience, judges and even television viewers can watch the race as if they are on the driving seat. This technology was invented by the Seven Network's Sydney flagship television station ATN as a brainchild of Er. Geoff Healey during the 1970s and was used for the first time in Australia during the Hardie-Ferodo 1000 endurance race, held in 1979. The technology has advanced the television technology, providing rare images and videos of the race track and the driver's gestures while the race is going on.
