The New Apple TV Could Change How We Watch Motorsports
Apple today rolled out a slew of gadgets including an iPad the size of the 10 Commandments, a new iPhone that sounds a lot like the old iPhone that likes to be touched and touched hard, a Pencil that Steve Jobs never wanted and a Microsoft Surface Pro keyboard.
Yadda, yadda, yadda. The new Apple TV may be what most people will be talking about and it could change how we watch motorsports. Imagine in-car feeds between cars chasing each other, live scoring and timing underneath the feeds, cold beer in your fridge and no lines at the bathroom.
We live in exciting times, people.
NASCAR already provides multiple views online for watching its races that could be integrated into a TV app.
The official F1 app, while it doesn’t show video, already has a very well-designed live timing and scoring system. In the U.S., NBC Sports often posts multiple views from the live F1 feed that could be incorporated into an app.
And so on.
I’m not saying it will happen, all I’m saying is that now it could.

Who in their right mind watches motor sports in the first place? And people think watching golf is boring!
Just get a Chromecast. $30 and you're done. Stream anything you can see in a browser, even videos on your PC. Hell, it works with your Android phone or even an iPhone. I'm not sure why people pay so much for these shiny Apple things. Yes, there are apps too, but for the most part, they are not necessary.
I've long wanted a view of the football field which showed the receivers downfield. This type of thing might facilitate that.
Both Netflix and ROKU have EXCELLENT customer service, unlike DirectTV. Not to mention vastly superior product.
