Aerial filming certainly helped to enhance the overall viewing experience as India hosted the Formula One World Championship for the first time

History was made on October 30, 2011 as India hosted its very first Formula One World Championship. Tens of thousands of locals and tourists flocked to the newly constructed Buddh International Circuit in Greater Noida on the outskirts of New Delhi to catch the excitement of the world’s most famous car race; while many more millions watched the action unfold on TV around the world.

The helicopter was again in the thick of action when the AS350 B3 of Prabatham was flying above the circuit covering the race with aerial shots that mesmerised and captivated the TV audience. As demonstrated at this widely televised world sporting event, aerial filming certainly helped to enhance the overall viewing experience.
