I race several times a year and have always enjoyed streaming the races for friends and family to watch. On occasion, customers and various members of different car groups I associate with would watch as well. I've always used YouTube until they changed their rules on live streaming to include 1,000 subscribers. From what I can tell, the subscribers don't have to be followers though.
I tried Facebook live for a few races but quickly found out they have a 1hr (?) time limit and the video stream shuts off. This requires me to reset the stream in the middle of a pit stop and wastes valuable time. Hence, it never gets reset.
I use my phone with unlimited data to stream the race from a ram mount located on the cage. It's worked great up until the T&C change at YouTube.
Anyone have simple ideas to live stream? Or if I could get 1,000 subscribers, I'd be able to stream on YouTube again. We're a long way from 1,000 but every little bit helps I suppose. Either way, just being able to stream again would be nice.
My next race is August 10th and 11th and will be a 24hr format at VIR. It would be great to have something figured out by then.
The following video was shot and streamed live. I post edited it down to 1 hr which is as long as the car ran. In that time we managed to climb from 47th to 8th before hitting the curbing under throttle exploded transmission gears.
