FIA Formula E Championship to be broadcasted in VR

Virtually Live is a revolutionary, immersive virtual reality technology for experiencing live events in real time, providing fans who can’t attend in person with a new way to experience events as if they were physically present. Fans will be able to watch races from any perspective on the course.

During the course of the Long Beach ePrix, Formula E and Virtually Live will be showcasing their virtual reality experience onsite through a series of events. Virtual reality headset owners who can’t make it to Long Beach will be able experience the race from home in VR.

Alejandro Agag, CEO, Formula E, said: “As an innovative championship, we’re excited to partner with Virtually Live. Virtual reality is one of the most exciting new ways to broadcast live sports and improve fans’ viewing experiences. Now, we can give fans that cannot attend a race in person the opportunity of feeling like they are actually immersed in the Formula E experience from any perspective.

Tom Impallomeni, CEO, Virtually Live, said: “We are very excited about the partnership and believe that we are a suitable match. Both Formula E and Virtually Live have a clear mission to push the boundaries of innovation and technology. Formula E is the future of motor racing, and is at the forefront of R&D for electric vehicles, esports and new technologies. We are delighted to be working with them to bring Formula E fans to the upcoming series of ePrix in VR.”
