How NASCAR, Motorsport.TV and MotoGP engage motorsport fans using real-time video and live streams

Grabyo’s cloud-based live production tools have allowed the likes of NASCAR and MotoGP to deliver live content, highlights and behind-the-sce content across multiple platforms, giving attendees increased access to races like never before.
Here are some examples of how NASCAR, MotoGP and Motorsport.tv used Grabyo to deliver its content completely through the cloud.
