Cool idea but not fully thought through Imo.
Not wishing to be negative but I can see this idea suffering from the same lag issues which makes 'fast' games that need low latency, pretty much a non starter for cloud gaming... unless everyone lived right next door to the server.... and the server right next door to the fpv racing location.. which kinda defeats the point.

I hear ya. Still think it might be fun to try, even if not for serious racing, but at least to drive around for fun.

Might be fun to try, but their website is a bit of a disaster. Very hard to navigate, and annoying layout and cursor.

I'm on a fiber connection so my latency will probably be ~60-70 ms in addition to whatever link they're using tot he car, which should be more than driveable. Their video link latency is probably insignificant while control latency is probably in the 30 ms range.

Driveable perhaps but raceability at any real pace will be badly affected, I can see it being quite chaotic..

I once bought a new HDTV, hooked it straight up to my racing sim but I could not get through my favourite stage in RSRBR without crashing.. instant massive disconnect from 'feeling' what the car was doing, couldn't catch and hold slides any more and all my braking points had changed. I then discovered the reason.. my new TV had a hefty 47ms of input lag even in game mode. It was massively noticeable and a very unpleasant experience. I had to go straight back to my 5ms gaming monitor to be competitive again.

I know, I have felt the same thing, but there are plenty of gamers who are playing with that kind of lag and don't know any better because they didn't come from something better.

It can be its own thing, but I'm not sure it will be commercially successful.

I don't really feel it's the right thing , I can see the appeal but not the reality . FPV quad(drone) racing is very popular but the pilots are on site flying their own quad , at a club level the FPV car racing could be fun but it's not a good " business plan " to make money .

Come on guys, give them a chance. This is all new stuff. As it is, it might not catch on, but most things didn't turn out roses on the first try either.

I've signed up. I like what they're doing.
