Driver onboards… like you’ve never seen them before 😮 As part of the 1997 documentary ‘Super Speedway’, Mario and Michael Andretti drove an Indy Car around Homestead Miami Speedway, with a massive IMAX camera strapped to the front!
The documentary film, which took over four years to capture, followed Michael, Mario and the Newman-Haas (Andretti) racing team through the process of building, testing and racing during a season.
The production company developed camera mounts that enabled onboard filming with an IMAX camera at speeds of up to 240mph, with both Michael and Mario switching it on and off themselves from within the cockpit.
They filmed at multiple race tracks over the production, but one shoot location was the Homestead Miami Speedway - the venue for this weekend’s Miami E-Prix, where the Andretti Formula E Team will compete in their home race. 🏁⚡️
