This should interest one or two people - an onboard camera specifically for a racing motorbike. So what..? Well the normal ones lean with the bike. This one stays upright, via tiny embedded motors, and knowing where on earth it is in the landscape. It's worth watching purely to see the angle of lean these racing bikes get over to. This was during qualifying, last saturday, for the German Grand Prix at Sachsenring, the next day. If you go to the iPlayer you can see the race, and this little camera's pictures will pop up occasionally. But here's an official MotoGP video dedicated completely to it.

Should be free to use, after the Dunlop advert. Oh, apparently the odd person feels a tad sea-sick while watching. You have been warned.

It's a bit too data heavy for my sh*tty broadband but I saw glimpses during the coverage. A great idea.

 

Yeah, I know what you mean, mate. I tend to pause these things and let them cache the data for a minute or two. Occasionally, it works.
