Can’t make it to Austin for this weekend’s races at Circuit of the Americas? If you can’t catch the MotoGP and MotoAmerica action, then at least you can experience a lap of the COTA circuit on a BMW S1000RR in this 360° video from GoPro.

On a computer, use your mouse to rotate the camera. If you’re browsing with Chrome, you can also watch this video at 4K resolution at 60 frames per second. On tablets or smartphones, you can simply turn your device around to view different angles or, for the most immersive experience, watch using a VR device.

    Amazing; How soon till we are on board with Marquez (V.R.) and really racing?
    What struck me is how early motorcycles have to start braking compared to open wheelers; The rider got through and out of corners really well but started braking perhaps 50 yards before the best cars.
