Presenting the birds-eye view to the WRC world tour.

The World Rally Championship [WRC] is a global rally car competition, touching down among six continents. The WRC races present the world’s top rally car drivers as they traverse through some of the world’s harshest terrain. Hitting speeds upwards of 80mph (130kph) from gravel to snow.

For the thousands of attending fans that make the voyage to witness the WRC rally world circuit, many wouldn’t believe that it could get any more chaotic than the action presented on track.

One of the major components of this organization are the aerial videographers. Acting as the WRC’s eye in the sky, the army of filmers and producers, take on a restless 3 day, nonstop filming spree. Presenting the sport to millions worldwide.

Aerial teams are coordinated per location. The Helicopter typically consists of a Bell 207, 47, 212, or RobinsonR44. Mounted with anything from an ARRI Alexa to RED Epic cinema camera, on a gyroscopic gimbal.

Armed by a camera operator and helicopter pilot. The two-man team provides the WRC and all those participating, with an unmatched angle to the world’s best of rally car action.
