MotoAmerica announces live streaming from Road Atlanta

MotoAmerica has announced that the race event at Road Atlanta this weekend (April 18-19) will be live video streamed in conjunction with its online partner Torque.TV through the series' website MotoAmerica.com. The MotoAmerica management has been working hard to secure a live video streaming package, and was finally able to get the necessary production setup, ironically being handled by former race organizers AMA Pro Racing and its video streaming site FansChoice.TV. Because the video streaming is being done through Torque.TV, the actual url of the live video is through Torque.TV's Motor Trend On Demand website, although the 600 Superstock race is also being shown on FansChoice.TV.

"We hope all the fans who can't be here at Road Atlanta this weekend can enjoy our live streaming," said MotoAmerica President and three-time 500cc World Champion Wayne Rainey. "We're looking forward to some great racing this weekend in the Honda Superbike Challenge of Road Atlanta."

"All of us at Torque.TV and Motor Trend are delighted to extend our partnership of North America's premier motorcycle road racing series - MotoAmerica - by providing live streaming of MotoAmerica races," said Roger Werner, founder of TorqueTV. Werner was one of the people responsible for the original Speedvision motorsports cable channel.

More information on the live-streaming package will reportedly be released later by MotoAmerica.
