Camera on IndyCar starter to aid Race Control

In response to IndyCar penalizing Scott Dixon for jumping the start in Milwaukee by mistake, IZOD IndyCar Series Race Director Beaux Barfield said a video camera will be fixed on the starter to capture green flag on starts and restarts, which will be recorded in the DVR and automatically synchronized to the other video in the system, eliminating the need to manually sync to Timing & Scoring. "It unquestionably improves our ability to precisely officiate starts and restarts," Barfield said.
