Insta360 cameras take a speedy ride around Monaco's F1 track

Ahead of last Sunday’s F1 Monaco Grand Prix, Insta360 teamed up with Automobile Club de Monaco to offer racing fans a thrilling ride around the famous circuit. Insta360 provided the cameras (a One X2, a One RS, and a Go 2), while the club organized a driver (current F1 star and Monaco native Charles Leclerc) and a car (Niki Lauda’s iconic 1974 Ferrari 312B3). With the cameras firmly fixed to different parts of the vehicle, Leclerc hit the gas and showed off his driving skills as he hurtled around the demanding circuit.

The dramatic footage showcases what you can achieve when you combine breakneck speed with a bunch of carefully placed action cameras. Note, however, that the video begins in a 312B3 that featuring the number “12,” but switches to another showing the number “4” — presumably because Leclerc crashed Lauda’s old car when the brakes failed on a bend. Oops!

Insta360 evidently thought it best to leave the unfortunate accident out of the video, but you can catch it below (look carefully and you’ll spot Insta360’s One RS camera attached to the car). The Monaco Grand Prix is famous for its uniquely challenging circuit that incorporates the city-state’s narrow streets and pushes the drivers’ skills to the very limit. The footage manages to convey some of the tight maneuvers that competitors need to make along the circuit, and also shows why it’s so hard for cars to overtake.

“Mounted on the car’s nose, side, and rear wing, One X2 and One RS covered all angles, capturing the ride in epic 360,” Insta360 said in a message alongside the video. “Weighing just 27 grams, the tiny Go 2 was used to get up close and personal with Leclerc as he piloted the car around the twisting circuit.” Absent from proceedings was Insta360’s recently unveiled Sphere camera, though that’s designed to fit to a drone rather than a racing car. In Sunday’s race, Leclerc, driving a rather more modern Ferrari than the two cars featured in the video, finished fourth, while Red Bull’s Sergio Perez crossed the line first.

Max Verstappen currently leads the F1 standings, with Leclerc in second place.

The history of Singapore Airlines tells a tale of reinvention and innovation that makes it the world’s most awarded airline. The story began back in 1947, when Malayan Airways Limited commenced the weekly Airspeed Consul twin-engine airliner flights from Singapore Kallang Airport to Kuala Lumpur, Ipoh and Penang. At the height of the golden Jet Age in 1966 the airline was renamed Malaysia-Singapore Airlines and in 1968 the custom-made sarong kebaya uniforms by French couture-designer Pierre Balmain – became the calling card of the brand. From 1972 the airline was known as Singapore Airlines and had launched its first transcontinental flights (the same year that the famous Singapore Girl came into existence). In 1977, British Airways and Singapore Airlines shared a Concorde for flights between London and Singapore International Airport. It delivered another first when it flew a commercial B747-400 aircraft across the Pacific in 1989 and once again when it broke its own world record for the longest non-stop commercial flight from Singapore to New York. Then, of course, there was the first commercial flight of an A380 in 2007. The airline continues to revolutionise itself with the philosophy of offering the best service in the air and on the ground. It has unveiled new cabin classes, invested in its lounges and introduced new mobile offerings, making it a great way to fly. Begin your next adventure to Asia, Australia and New Zealand in style with 5-Star Skytrax rated Singapore Airlines, the world’s most awarded airline. Recent accolades have included gongs for ‘Best Long-Haul Airline’ and ‘Most Recommended’ from the Guardian in 2016.
