As they navigate the circuit, viewers are guided through key sections of the track inside the high-performance all-new Audi RS5 with highlighted hotspots. At pivotal moments, the experience shifts seamlessly into a fully rendered virtual environment - where an Audi R26 F1 car screams to life.

Within this graphical world, Audi's simulation data is used to break down the intricacies of elite performance, from braking zones and racing lines to gear changes, cornering speeds, and overtaking opportunities. The camera moves dynamically around the virtual car - from exterior angles to the driver's cockpit - offering perspectives never possible before.

The format then transitions back to real-world driving, maintaining continuity as the Sky Sports driver progresses through the lap, creating a seamless fusion of physical and digital storytelling.

The first Flying Lap episode takes on Miami, one of the fastest and most technically-demanding circuits in the calendar.

Launching across Sky Sports platforms from May 2, Flying Lap represents the next evolution of the Sky Sports and Audi Innovation partnership - pushing the boundaries of broadcast innovation and creating new opportunities for storytelling beyond live coverage.
