What kind of view is that? Hard to watch from a Birdseye.

I remember views like that from my college years after drinking a bunch of Boone's Farm.

You have to move the pointer around the frame, that's the whole point. watch it again but this time, grab the screen (Right click, and move your mouse) or use the virtual joystick to rotate the screen. This allows to you "rotate" the camera view within the sphere of what's been recorded.

Now if we can just get WEC (IMSA is a lost cause for streaming at this point) to adopt this tech for the race.

Or just watch it on a capable phone. If you watch it on your phone, pointing your phone in various directions accomplishes the same thing, at least on the Ford Performance Facebook page. Very trick.
