About the project

​​

My Mission:

I design iRacing camera views/packages to capture and show the essence of racing in the most realistic, most immersive and most spectacular way.

​​​​​

​​​

Let me give you some background and history about me and what I do and why. I demonstrate with some video examples the capabilities of the customized cameras.

Enhanced Spectator Experience through Custom iRacing Cameras

​

Everything you're about to see and experience here is driven by my passion for racing and a deep appreciation for the emotions that come with it - whether it's the thrill of high-speed action, the love of life, or the feeling of pushing boundaries. If you’re passionate about racing, what you’re about to explore isn’t just a digital product practical for spectating and creating iRacing photo/video content. It's an immersive experience that, for me, has made iRacing far more enjoyable, offering countless "wow, that looks amazing" moments.

​

​The fact that you're here means you want to take your iRacing experience to the next level. 

Just as a great setup enhances your driving performance, my custom cameras can elevate your spectator experience. If you can't imagine iRacing without custom setups and paints, then I’m sure after using my cameras you won’t be able to imagine it without well designed custom cameras either.

While it might not be the most crucial part of iRacing, for me, this has been a passion since 2012. It’s something I’ve poured my heart and knowledge into because it brings joy, excitement, and that hunger to deliver every time.

From Racefan to Creator: My Journey into iRacing

​​​

My real love for racing started when I was around 8 years old, watching Formula 1 and Dakar rallies. Over the years I became addicted to racing in all its forms. Sim racing was the only thing that allowed me to experience racing without being a real racing driver. I only loved sims that represented realism (cockpit view, no arcade style). So I stayed on this path and as I dove into sim racing in 2011 I found iRacing and a pro environment to race against other people. I quickly realized the excitement was much much higher and it didn’t end when the race did. So after a great race, I would rewatch the replay to relive the best moments and analyze my performance, sometimes to calm down from the adrenaline. By doing that I found immediately the need to improve and enhance the default iRacing cameras.

​​

As a hobby photographer and someone who thrives on visual stimulation, I began to see the potential for improving how the action was captured. I started to actively follow real races in the '90s. Live coverage was simple but watching post race recap videos with special camera angles that weren’t part of live coverage was my favourite. The close-ups, slow-motion or trackside shots, and onboard views made the racing feel more visceral and exciting. I wanted to bring that same feeling to iRacing.

​

​

The Road to Custom Camera Creation

​

So almost instantly after I arrived on iRacing and while spending time on replays I realized how much room for improvement is in the camera setup for iRacing.  I began creating custom camera setups for myself to implement those special angles seen on TV to trigger similar emotions and feel. What started as a personal project to enhance my own experience gradually evolved into something I thought could benefit the wider iRacing community.

​

I learned to use the camera tool to its maximum potential and I apply all my creativity. Over time, I developed DynamicTV and StaticTV, as well as real-life event replica angles. These custom angles quickly gained popularity, and feedback from fellow iRacers kept me motivated to continue.

Check out the Reference section to see some highlights, including comment from Greg Hill from iRacing. See what the iRacers say in my new and old iRacing forum thread. ​

​

By 2016, I realized that streamers and broadcasters using my cameras were not only enhancing their broadcasts but also getting paid for it but back then they didn't share that with me. That was a turning point for me—what had been a hobby had real value. Though I was initially uncomfortable with the idea of monetizing my work, I soon learned about value creation and business. That shift allowed me to dedicate myself fully to camera development and innovation.

​

​

Where I Am Today

 

Currently I develop and maintain 100+ cars and 100+ track configurations. I also create my own videos and have built this website to showcase my work. iRacing’s constant evolution means that every camera setup requires ongoing refinement and rework to stay up-to-date and cameras for new content need to be developed. During intense periods of creativity, I might spend up to 60-80 hours per month refining and enhancing my camera packages.

I no longer have time to race myself - now, I enjoy the thrill of iRacing from the 'outside' :) It doesn't feel like a sacrifice at all. Hopefully by reading all this it comes across that translating the racing action through the virtual lens of my cameras, using a blend of artistic vision and technical expertise is my main purpose today. Along the way, I’ve learned a lot about racing, video, and photo editing. Nothing compares to the joy of hearing from my customers how great and fun it is to spectate with my cameras.

​​

​​

See It for Yourself

​

Below you can see demonstration videos and you can also read about the features. In the Gallery section of the website you can check photos made with the help of these cameras.

 

This is a little video teaser about what is waiting for you. I hope you’ll enjoy the enhanced perspective as much as I enjoy creating it. At the end its all about racing isn't it? :)

Elevating the iRacing Spectator Experience Through Custom Cameras

​

First of all I'm very excited and happy when I look back and look ahead at the same time.

Seeing so many of you enjoy my custom camera setups, whether through personal spectating or iRacing broadcasts, is what truly motivates me to continue. Your feedback and support fuel my passion for improving the experience, and I’m thrilled that so many of you appreciate the work I do.

​

Every time I load an iRacing replay or spectate a session, I’m constantly looking for ways to refine and improve the experience. I’m never fully satisfied, because there’s always room for growth and innovation. You can never say it's is 'finished' because just as music or dance relies on combining elements to create a harmonious experience, camera work in iRacing is similar and requires the same attention to detail.

In case of cameras each element need to be constructed (placing a camera and defining the visual shot) but how you stick them together (defining camera transitions) and create a rhythm and flow is where another part of the magic happens. A new track, a new car, graphical updates (like driver animation, particle effects, weather, foliage, etc), all of these inspire fresh ideas and challenges that keep me pushing for excellence.

​​

Please check this little teaser about oval racing features:

Features

 

Accuracy and detail - cameras on 'realistic' positions (behind fence, on poles, etc), real life camera positions. Trying to create varying (TV style) camera angles with carefully planned and executed camera transitions. Pursue realism just what iRacing is aiming for.

​

Static TV - see both video demos above. StaticTV is a static aim and mostly static FOV camera type. Best to use for screenshots.

​

DynamicTV - chopper or drone style camera constantly circulating above the track bringing you different view points lap after lap. Sometimes its higher and sometimes its super low bringing you very cinematic shots.

​

SpeedCam - essentially kerb cameras placed at strategic location around the track. Cars will pass by close and with speed. It works best with pack of cars.

​

FanCam - it takes you to the trackside like you are one of the crowd. Feel like virtual racing fan visiting and walking along the track. This project evolved into its own and I have now dedicated camera package for this.

​

Cinematic angles - Overall for all cameras I use depth of field enabled and fine tuned - Aiming for best visuals possible. Utilizing depth of field effects to enhance feeling of distance.

​

Continous updates - you can expect updates because i'm never satisfied :)

​A Commitment to Excellence: Constant Innovation

​

Over the years, I’ve continually raised my standards, understanding that the work required to meet my standards has grown significantly, especially with the increasing pace of iRacing’s content updates and releases. With each new build, new cars, and new tracks, I find myself needing to update and adapt my camera setups to match the latest iRacing standards. I have not explored other sim racing platforms, but iRacing’s unique spirit and commitment to quality align closely with my own philosophy. This is why iRacing remains my primary focus, and why I strive to make its spectator experience as immersive as possible.

​
In 2016-2017 I started to specifically make updates and improvements to better support broadcasters. I added more real life angles, dynamic scenics and improved camera transitions - subtle details that might go unnoticed, but take a lot of testing and iteration to get right. The time and effort involved in this process can be extensive, but it’s the only way to ensure a polished, cinematic experience for everyone.

​​​

​

Here is a demonstration video of the early Dynamic TV. Since then I introduced much more new type of cameras. Dynamic TV imitates low altitude chopper or drone or when you can see real life cameras moving on wires just above the track. In this video one of my favorite shot is the slow section at Phillip Island. Starting with the magnificent view with the sea in the background. Eau Rouge at Spa or T1 at Sebring looks also great think.​

 

Time and effort behind each camera package

​

To give you a sense of the work that goes into developing each camera package: creating the base version for a generic length track - like Monza - typically takes between 10-16 hours. After that, further enhancements and testing (which includes working with replays of at least 2-4 different type of races) add another 14-16 hours. Only after multiple testing sessions will I release the first version.

Many tracks go through 6-8 iterations, and depending on complexity, each new iteration can take anywhere from 4 to 20 hours. For example, tracks like Spa GP 2010 have undergone 30+ iterations since their initial release.

All of this time and effort feeds into a final product that balances technical accuracy with a creative vision. And it’s this combination of craftsmanship and creativity that I believe sets my work apart.

​​

​

Why Your Support Matters - Every Contribution Counts

​

Maintaining and updating over 100 tracks and 100 cars is no small feat. It requires a significant investment of time and energy. But beyond the technical demands, the real joy comes from experimenting with new concepts and integrating them seamlessly—whether it's refining camera angles, exploring fresh ideas, or enhancing the overall spectator experience. This creative process is both fulfilling and challenging, requiring a blend of artistic vision and technical skill.

​​

While I love the creative side of my work, the reality is that populating these concepts across multiple tracks, testing them, and ensuring everything functions flawlessly can be incredibly time-consuming. On top of this, managing the website and producing high-quality video content also requires significant resources.

​

If you enjoy the work I do and appreciate the value it brings to your iRacing experience, your support means the world to me. It can be a small donation—whether it’s the cost of a bottle of water or whatever you feel is appropriate— or just spreading the word goes a long way in helping me continue to create, innovate, and improve. Your contribution helps keep this project going and allows me to dedicate more time to what I truly love: delivering the best possible spectator experience.

Thank you for your support, and for being a part of this journey.​​​
