So at the Nurburgring, when they have endurance races, they use aircraft as “satellites“ for sending data from cars, such as onboard video and telemetry. Most race tracks can just use regular signals but this track is huge and wraps around a mountain, so you’d need either thousands of repeaters or the aircraft they currently use.

You guys should try and see if they could use your tech, it seems a perfect fit and might be good fit for marketing for both sides.

Wow, very cool! I've watched plenty of races at the Nurburgring but never stopped to think about how I was receiving the video feeds! If you have any contacts there I'd love to speak to them.
No sorry, I’m just a fan of the Nurburgring!

I would love to see solar tech replace polluting aircraft, though, since racing itself is likely to not be “green” in the near term.
