Default Live-streaming - Who's done it?

I am thinking about setting this up on race car my car for the next season. Does anybody have any good experience with this?

I have found Racecast.me. It allows you to produce a video icon on Racemonitor.com that anybody can click on to watch your live stream.

What you basically need is:
- GoPro (with HDMI Output)
- Live Streaming Device (like the Cerevo LiveShell)
- MiFi to transmit via cell network
- Battery to connect the GoPro, Cerevo and Mifi too

I bought the Racekeeper setup with a MiFi from Verizon. I am just installing this weekend. Why? Streaming Video but also streaming data to the crew on the wall. Cant get better than that. Of course I have not seen any of it work but like I said will be installing Saturday.

I'd be very curious how this works out - please keep us posted.

I know Steve Hoelscher at Trivinci (R-K) has tested this, didn't realize it was live yet. I'll have to try it on my HDX2...

Some people are live-streaming from the HSR Sebring event this weekend:

I know some of the Mazda Cup guys were live streaming with 360 cams. Not sure what set up they used.

I livestreamed some non-racing stuff last week using the facebook app on the iPhone and that went well. I don't see a reason why that wont work from the car.
it wont show data or laptimes but if you just want to show a live video feed that i the easiest/cheapest way of doing it

a personal downside for me would be that I cant collect data for those laps as I also use the iPhone for that (Porsche track precision app)

youtube livestreaming also lists a iPhone app to do this so that is another option
