Remote Coaching with Race Capture

How to coach remotely with live data and video

Using telemetry data and live streaming video, coaches can use these tools to coach live remotely, either from the pits at the track or from the comfort of their home offices or just about anywhere. Autosport Labs Race Capture and Podium Connect devices stream data logging data to Podium.live website for instantaneous live telemetry data. This data can be viewed anywhere with a web browser or the Podium app. You can also use a cheap camera with a hotspot to stream live to YouTube. You can then add this live streaming video to your Podium event page to be able to see live streaming data and video in one place. You can use the live telemetry data to quickly find areas for improvement, and then use live video to quickly see what they are doing that needs improvement and communicate this feedback instantaneously to your student/client via cell phone.

Please note: YouTube live streams have around a 40 second delay, so you cannot use the video for live instructing. There is no delay in the data telemetry so you can analyze the data and video and when you see them coming up to the section in question on the live data again, you can tell them what to work on this time around.
