FOX Sports is set to revolutionize IndyCar Series broadcasts by incorporating drone footage as a regular feature, building on their successful use of drones in NASCAR and other sports coverage.

Beverly Hills Aerials will continue their partnership with FOX Sports, providing live drone feeds to enhance the viewing experience. This marks a significant expansion from previous drone usage, which was limited to a brief trial during a recent Indianapolis 500 broadcast under NBC's coverage.

The transition from NBC to FOX brings several notable improvements to IndyCar coverage:

  • Will Buxton joins as the new lead commentator
  • Implementation of The Driver's Eye in-helmet cameras
  • Josef Newgarden-featured driver promotions receiving positive feedback
  • Regular drone footage integration across all events

This production upgrade represents a major shift in how IndyCar races will be presented to viewers, offering more dynamic and immersive coverage of Roger Penske's racing series.
