Racing Force Group has reached a multi-year agreement with FOX Sports to incorporate its innovative Driver’s Eye™ helmet camera into all NTT INDYCAR SERIES broadcasts beginning with the 2026 season. After a successful introduction at select events in 2025, including the Indianapolis 500, this cutting-edge technology will now provide fans with a continuous, first-person perspective from inside the cockpit throughout each race.
Advancing Viewer Engagement with Immersive Onboard Footage
Following its positive reception among viewers during key 2025 rounds, the Driver’s Eye™ camera will elevate race coverage by delivering authentic, in-helmet visuals. Alex Haristos, Chief Operating Officer of Racing Force Group, highlighted the collaboration with FOX Sports, stating,
“We are thrilled to continue our collaboration with FOX Sports to integrate Driver’s Eye™ into the television coverage of the NTT INDYCAR SERIES. Following the excitement generated during selected events in the 2025 season, including the Indianapolis 500, it’s fantastic to extend the Driver’s Eye™ presence to every round. Our goal is to make the viewing experience even more engaging and immersive for fans thanks to this leading-edge technology.”
Lightweight, Precision Technology Designed for Motorsport Broadcasting
The Driver’s Eye™ camera, created and patented by Zeronoise—Racing Force Group’s electronics division—is the world’s smallest micro-camera engineered specifically for live motorsport transmissions. Measuring just 9 by 9 millimeters and weighing a mere 1.43 grams, the FIA-approved device is mounted inside the driver’s helmet, allowing uninterrupted, genuine driver viewpoint footage throughout the high-speed contest.
Successful Debut and Upcoming 2026 Season Details
The camera first appeared in the INDYCAR series during the 2025 Grand Prix of Long Beach, installed in the helmet of race winner Kyle Kirkwood and providing thrilling cockpit views. It was also successfully utilized at the Indianapolis 500 later that year. The 2026 season is set to begin with the Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg on March 1 and includes 18 races, highlighted by the 110th iteration of the Indianapolis 500 on May 24.
