How ChampCar.Live works

From watching the race to getting your own in-car stream on air, here is the simple version.

Watch the race

Most TireRack.com ChampCar Endurance Series races stream free on YouTube at ChampCar.Live, presented by AutoZone.

Set up your camera

Use a YouTube-friendly in-car stream with stable power, a hotspot, and clean driver identification so production can use it quickly.

Submit your feed

Send your stream and event details through the form below. The production team will include it when possible.

Keep expectations realistic

Track bandwidth, network congestion, and production limits all affect whether a feed can be used on race day.

Turnkey in-car streaming system

For teams that want a repeatable setup without fighting settings and menus on race morning.

Paul Veltum, the ChampCar.Live producer, offers a pre-configured camera kit built for ChampCar racers. It is designed so you can mount it, power it, and go racing with a live stream that just works.

  • Pre-configured Yi-based camera system set up for streaming
  • Simple power and data connections that are endurance-car friendly
  • Support from the same team that produces the ChampCar.Live broadcast
  • Configuration that works well with the way in-car feeds are handled on race day

For questions about how the kit integrates with ChampCar.Live, email mail@onsitecsg.com.

Troubleshooting and limits

These are the issues that most often make or break an in-car feed on race day.

Troubleshooting tips
  • Lower resolution is often better. 480p is usually more reliable at many tracks.
  • Place the hotspot near the seatbelt bar and away from dash heat.
  • Use 12V power with a quality USB adapter and pre-charge hotspots.
  • Unlimited plans may still throttle after 10 to 20 GB.
  • What works in testing may change on race day as the network gets busy.
Important production limits

Streaming to YouTube or Facebook is preferred when it is non-commercial and free of ads or licensed music.

We can only support a limited number of cameras per event, and network or bandwidth issues may prevent some feeds from being used.

Add a visible nameplate in the car so production can identify drivers on air.

Note: Twitch feeds cannot be used due to ads and platform restrictions.

Submit your in-car stream

Provide your stream link and event details. If the embed does not load, open the form in a new tab.

Feeds that stream to YouTube or Facebook without commercial conflicts, ads, or licensed music are the best fit. Twitch feeds cannot be used because of ads and platform restrictions.

No. Network limits, bandwidth issues, and production capacity mean only a limited number of cameras can be supported at each event.
