Kangaroo TV is changing everything for spectators at Grand Prix races. A hand held television and digital media device, it allows people not only to know much better what's going on in the race, but also behind the scenes.

I used to say that Formula 1 was the perfect television sport, that it was better on television than at the track. Of course, there's always the need to hear, smell and see the cars and people up close and live at least once in a lifetime. But to really follow and understand a race it is necessary to see multiple television camera shots from around the circuit, to read the data of who is leading the race and by how much, and to see the action from within a car's on board camera, or hear the driver talk to his team over the radio.

Now thanks to a Canadian company that makes these small hand held televisions and provides them at F1 races thanks to a deal with Formula 1, there can truly be no fuller fan experience than attending a race and hooking up with Kangaroo TV. Even the local track announcer can be heard better through the earphones of the Kangaroo TV device than over the loudspeaker system.
