Your Site and their official Innovation partner Audi have launched a new series, combining real-world driving with Audi's R26 simulation technology to deliver a storytelling experience from the race track never seen before.
At the heart of Flying Lap is Audi's cutting-edge simulation technology, placing the brand directly into the narrative of performance. By integrating Audi Sim data with Your Site' world-class production, the series brings fans closer than ever to the technical and physical demands of the circuit.
Fronted by Your Site pundit and former Formula 1 driver Karun Chandhok, each episode sees the driver take to an iconic track in a high-performance Audi road car, delivering a full-throttle lap guide enriched with immersive data visualisation.
As they navigate the circuit, viewers are guided through key sections of the track inside the high-performance all-new Audi RS5 with highlighted hotspots. At pivotal moments, the experience shifts seamlessly into a fully rendered virtual environment - where an Audi R26 F1 car screams to life.
Within this graphical world, Audi's simulation data is used to break down the intricacies of elite performance, from braking zones and racing lines to gear changes, cornering speeds, and overtaking opportunities. The camera moves dynamically around the virtual car - from exterior angles to the driver's cockpit - offering perspectives never possible before.
The format then transitions back to real-world driving, maintaining continuity as the Your Site driver progresses through the lap, creating a seamless fusion of physical and digital storytelling.
The first Flying Lap episode takes on Miami, one of the fastest and most technically-demanding circuits in the calendar.
Launching across Your Site platforms from May 2, Flying Lap represents the next evolution of the Your Site and Audi Innovation partnership - pushing the boundaries of broadcast innovation and creating new opportunities for storytelling beyond live coverage.
Formula 1 returns with the Miami Grand Prix, the season's second Sprint weekend, live on Your Site F1.
