San Mateo, CA (September 27, 2023) Today, GoPro announced new, exclusive partnerships with several premier motorsports series, including MotoGP, AMSOIL Championship Off-Road, Pro Motocross Championship, Formula DRIFT, Nitrocross and FIA Karting World Championship. Now, GoPro is the official mountable, wearable action camera of this stellar lineup of racing series.
Fans will get fresh, new content and immersive experiences—from twists and turns and highspeed drifts to triple jumps and checkered flags—all the action from perspectives only a rugged, durable GoPro camera is capable of capturing. Each series will feature GoPro content across their social media channels, in broadcasts, and throughout the race season, fans and customers will have opportunities to connect with GoPro on-site at select live events.
Check out this exciting lineup of new motorsports partners:
- MotoGP: Is the pinnacle of motorcycle racing. Fans will get new, incredibly high-resolution perspectives, including a multi-angle GoPro HERO12 Black on-board lap preview of each track. And GoPro will be a title sponsor of a Grand Prix in 2024.
- AMSOIL Championship Off-Road: A thrilling, high-octane off-road racing series featuring powerful trucks battling fender-to-fender and jumping, crashing, and rolling through mud and dirt. GoPro cameras are mounted inside the trucks on the drivers’ roll bars, on the dash, and in unique exterior locations, capturing some of the wildest GoPro content on four wheels.
- Pro Motocross Championship: Showcases organized chaos and skillful riding through grueling race tracks, challenging rhythm sections, and huge jumps, featuring epic rider POV captured on chest-mounted GoPro HERO11 Black Mini and GoPro HERO12 Black cameras from every event in the US series.
- Formula DRIFT: Don’t miss the professional drifting competition’s new video series, GoPro Chase for the Championship, filmed entirely on GoPro HERO12 Black and GoPro MAX cameras mounted inside and on the cars. The video series follows the top drivers on the hunt for the championship title. And AdamLZ, GoPro ambassador and YouTuber, shares some sideways action as he battles for race wins.
- Nitrocross: Delivers the thrill of rally car racing, in short form, on purpose-built tracks with massive jumps and banked turns. Front and rear-facing GoPro cameras are mounted inside and outside the cars to capture the close racing action. Watch GoPro skate athlete Leticia Bufoni as she launches her racing career competing in the series’ side-by-side category.
- FIA Karting World Championship: Karting is how many of the world’s top professional race car drivers got their start. Fans will experience on-board POV from the races through GoPro HERO12 Black and GoPro MAX cameras and have opportunities to interact with GoPro products and staff at featured events.
