Track Cams for Gourmets

Features

Available camera groups​ (this can vary based on track characteristic). In general I use 5-6 TV style camera groups (there can be some exceptions):

• Real life replica - TV style real life replica of various iconic events for the given track. In case of ovals all of the tracks are frequently used in iRacing official Nascar series and all of them have real life Nascar Monster Energy Cup event camera replicas from 2016-2024 to give exactly what you can see on TV (like FOX, NBCSN or SPEED, etc). I linked the broadcasts I used as a base.

• Group1 (TV1) is my custom TV style similar to real life replicas

• Group2 (TV2) my custom and probably the most cinematic, getting the most out of depth of field and focusing to deliver good images of the car (to give some feeling of speed, to better show paints, duels close, etc)

• Group 3 (TV3) set is wider zoom showing longer sections of track (useful at starts or to follow multi car actions or wrecks)

• Group 4 (StaticTV) - uses static aim type cameras (check out the about section)

• Group 5 (Crank it UP) - uses static aim type cameras with light distortion, emphasizing speed

• Group 6 (DynamicTV) - simulates low altitude chopper (check out the about section)

• PitLane - dedicated pitlane camera group covering the whole pitlane with entry and exit

• Scenic - updated scenics with more cinematics. Check the video I made below to see how it looks like.

​

• Additional features vary per track

  • Spotter - single high positioned spotter cam. Some tracks have two sets, one with a wider view and one with more zoom.

  • Grid - special gridding only view, works best while selecting front row cars

  • Green - a subset of cameras best showing green flag lap (only for tracks marked below)

  • Fan Cam - just like you would be sitting in the crowd at the real event

  • Super low DynamicTV - Special set camera (typically Dynamic TV3) moving along with the cars on top of the conrete wall in T1-T2 and T3-T4. It can be out of sequence sometimes but only for 2-3 laps (in this case use regular DynamicTV to view from a little higher).

Please let me show these in action. Check my video about oval camera features on Youtube. The first video below was made for the 2019 release and let you experience the speed of the cars in more depth. Allowing subtitles on the second video below - which is from the time I introduced the oval camera package - will tell you what track and what camera is used during a shot.
