SailGP: Media App (iPhone only) launched

SailGP App only available for iPhones on the time being.. Android version to be launched later in the season.
These guys can produce and deliver latest tech 50knots almost autonomous flying cats, but hey an Android app version to follow the action is too much to ask, more is the funding comes from an IT Tycoon like Larry Ellison…

SAN FRANCISCO – February 12, 2019 – SailGP today released a next
generation mobile application as advanced as the supercharged F50 boats
taking flight this week on Sydney Harbour. Fans will be
 in full control
of the way they consume the world’s fastest on-water racing, with the
ability to
personalize the boats, camera angles and data that feature in
their feeds.

With instant access to more than 1,200 data points from the fastest and
most technologically advanced race boats and the world-class athletes
who pilot them, fans will have unprecedented insight into the
revolutionary new sailing league.

The SailGP APP allows fans to choose what to watch and which boat to
follow, bringing them closer to the sport than ever before. They will be
able to view live data and video (subject to regional restrictions),
track performance, compare athletes, change viewing angles, zoom in on
the action and watch replays. The unique split screen feature enables
the viewer to compare two teams side by side, and delve into the detail
of what makes the unique super boats fly.

“We really wanted to challenge ourselves with how we present the content
and data coming off the boats and show it in a way that truly enhances
the fan experience and allows them to be as much a part of the racing as
possible,” said SailGP CEO Russell Coutts. “This is the first time the
data and live streams are available to everyone – fans, teams,
broadcasters, coaches and race management – and we really hope it will
attract new people to the sport, educate emerging fans and generally
make SailGP interesting for a wide range of people.”

Three customizable modes are designed to cater to all levels of
knowledge of the sport, from emerging fans to sailing aficionados. The
standard view is focused on visuals streaming in live from 11 feeds via
helicopter, drone, and on-water and onboard cameras, displayed alongside
key race statistics. Tips are offered to assist users in understanding
the terminology and relevance of the data.

Meanwhile, the advanced view allows users to hone in on precise
technical data from the boat. In this setting, rudder angle, ride time,
ride height, pitch and roll can all be viewed to allow fans to get under
the hood of the supercharged F50 and see what it takes to perform at
the highest level.

Finally, in the split screen view, data can be viewed and compared for
two teams simultaneously. Users will get a clear indication of what is
happening onboard during racing and what factors are contributing to
performance. The split screen feature will be particularly relevant for
the season finale, in which the year’s two highest ranked boats will go
head-to-head in a $1 million winner-takes-all match race.

The app includes a ‘no spoilers’ setting for globally fans consuming the content on a delayed basis.

The SailGP APP is available on all Apple iOS devices via the App Store.
An Android version will be available later in the season.
