Better quality on-board cameras in 2011

The quality of F1’s on-board camera footage will also be improving in 2011.

When it was recently announced that the sport is switching to HD this year, reports said technical complexity meant that the on-board cameras will still capture only standard definition.

But French commentator Jean-Louis Moncet wrote in his latest Auto Plus column that on-board cameras have not been left out of F1’s new plans.

French broadcaster TF1’s formula one producer Noel Carles said: "FOM has been changing its equipment for the past two years and the issue of on-board cameras was finally resolved."
