A video of an F1 driver doing at lap at Norway’s Rudskogen Motorsenter circuit was recorded with a 360-degree camera and it looks absolutely brilliant.
Prepare to wave goodbye to about 20 minutes of your day, because you’re going to want to replay this a few times. Sebastien Buemi recently showed off his skills in a Red Bull Racing F1 car and he had a very cool piece of kit attached to the top of it.
The video was actually shot using a MakingView.no ViewCam 360, which has a spherical lens that records the action from every angle, apart from up, naturally.
What you get is a 360-degree view of everything a driver would see from the moment he steps into the car to the moment he crosses the finishing line.
The instructions are easy: use your mouse (or trackpad) to move the camera around and press the space bar if you want to freeze time for a better look.
