Dave Mason Jr.'s specially equipped race car uses satellite technology to offer a driver's perspective to the world.

Driver Dave Mason Jr. is helping to transform off-road racing viewing experiences through innovative satellite technology. During the recent NORRA Baja 1000, he utilized cutting-edge satellite technology to immerse fans directly into the heart of the action, overcoming the event's challenging terrain and remote locations.


The NORRA 1000 in Baja, Mexico is renowned for its tough conditions, often inaccessible to spectators. Mason's use of satellite live streaming bridged this gap, allowing fans from anywhere around the globe to witness every thrilling moment in real-time, from encountering surprises like a giant cow on the course to navigating water crossings and narrow rock-lined trails at six figure speeds.


This groundbreaking approach not only elevates the spectator experience but also offers substantial benefits for sponsors to reach a wider audience. Mason's use of technology underscores the quickly changing landscape of sports broadcasting, opening new avenues for engaging with Motorsports enthusiasts.


As technology continues to evolve, we can anticipate even more immersive experiences that bring fans closer to the action than ever before and paving new roads for future advancements in how we interact with and consume Motorsports.


Oh, and by the way, Mason not only won his class but also secured an impressive 3rd place overall finish. How do we know? Because here at the USMA, we were completely absorbed for days as we shared the journey live with Dave Jr. through our computer screens and phones. Thanks, Dave! Although we are going need that week of work back!
