Formula 1 introduced a novelty in the transmissions of qualifications: the so -called “Ghost Laps”, inspired by racing video games.
This functionality allows viewers to follow a “ghost” return in real time, which represents the best qualification time so far. Thus, fans can directly compare each pilot’s performance with the reference time, creating a more immersive and exciting experience.
The idea is to bring to reality the same kind of emotion of virtual racing, allowing a new way of visualizing and understanding performance differences between pilots in the fight for pole position. 👌
You’ve never seen a fight for pole like this before… 👻
Video game-style!
