According to a recent report from RACER, the network will partner with Beverly Hills Aerials to provide live drone feeds, marking a substantial evolution in racing coverage technology

Beverly Hills Aerials, which has established itself as FOX Sports’ trusted drone service provider, will extend its expertise to the IndyCar Series coverage.

The move follows successful implementations in other motorsport events, indicating a growing industry recognition of drone technology’s value in sports broadcasting. The partnership with Beverly Hills Aerials also highlights the increasing professionalization of drone services in high-stakes live broadcasting environments.

Regulatory Considerations

The implementation of live drone coverage in motorsport environments requires careful navigation of both FAA regulations and venue-specific safety protocols. This expansion of drone usage in IndyCar broadcasting operates under strict FAA guidelines for commercial drone operations at sporting events, setting important precedents for future applications in live sports coverage.

Broadcast Innovation Context

FOX Sports’ comprehensive approach to IndyCar coverage extends beyond drone integration. Under the new partnership, the network has appointed Will Buxton as the commentary lead and launched well-received driver promotions, starting with Josef Newgarden. These elements, combined with advanced drone cinematography, signal a significant evolution in motorsport broadcasting technology.

The integration of advanced drone coverage in IndyCar broadcasts represents a significant step forward in sports production technology. This development not only enhances viewer experience but also establishes new standards for technical innovation in live sports broadcasting. As the industry continues to evolve, the successful implementation of drone technology in IndyCar coverage may serve as a blueprint for future applications across various sporting events and broadcast environments.
