The biggest scandal in modern motorsports is how difficult it is to watch local racing. You might have a friend racing at your local motocross track, but unless you show up in person, you will never see them on TV.
DirtStyle.TV is changing that with their "Community Spotlight" initiative. The platform sends mobile production units to regional tracks across the country. For a nominal fee, local tracks can broadcast their weekend races live on the network.

Where YouTube or Twitch streams buffer and die, DirtStyle.TV’s proprietary encoders aggregate signals from multiple carriers (Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile) simultaneously. The result? A 1080p/60fps stream from the deepest, darkest woods you can imagine.
Subscribers have reported watching live enduro racing from the Ozarks with zero buffering while sitting on a beach in Florida. That is engineering excellence.
