FPV and drone filming for motorsport and supercars
FPV chase shots, aerial tracking and full production for race teams, private track days, car brands, dealers, circuits and auction houses.
Cars are built to be seen moving. We put cameras where they can't normally go - chasing a rally car through the trees, threading through a workshop, or sweeping over a grid before the lights go out.
We've chased Lando Norris's Team Quadrant rally cars through the forest, flown FPV (first person view) drones at the Praga Cup media day at Anglesey Circuit, hired in by the production company working with Praga, returned to Anglesey many times to film private track days, filmed BMW launches and covered a 1976 Porsche 911 Carrera for Bonhams at Goodwood. Whether it's a single drone pilot for your crew or a full production from idea to final edit, we bring the same eye for speed, detail and storytelling.

"We were really impressed with the team from Solent Sky Services. We set them an almost impossible task with the outputs we wanted from just one day's filming. But they delivered in spades and were a pleasure to work with."

AutomotiveHow we work
- 1
Brief and recce
We talk through the cars, the location and the shots you want, and visit the site if needed.
- 2
Plan and permissions
Flight areas agreed with the circuit, organiser or landowner, plus CAA requirements, RAMS and insurance.
- 3
Shoot day
Drone pilot, FPV pilot and ground crew as needed, briefed with your team and drivers.
- 4
Edit and deliver
Fast-turnaround social edits, full films and stills, graded for every platform.
Safety at the track
Flying near fast-moving cars needs careful planning, and we take it seriously. We've filmed at Anglesey Circuit on several occasions, for private track days and the Praga media day, so we know how a live circuit runs.
- Every flight planned and risk assessed under our CAA Operational Authorisation (PDRA01) in the Specific category.
- We're used to working with trackside teams, marshals and race control, and agree flight zones, timings and radio procedures with them before we fly.
- Chase shots briefed with the driver and rehearsed at lower speeds first.
- Spotters and a dedicated safety brief on every shoot, plus £10m public liability insurance.
- If it isn't safe, we don't fly.
Three ways to work with us
Drone crew
Pilot, camera operator and kit for your shoot, working alongside your production company, agency or broadcaster.
Full production
From planning, permissions, storyboarding and direction to filming in the air and on the ground with RED cinema cameras and professional lighting, then editing, colour grading, motion graphics and delivery. One team from start to finish.
White label
We work under your brand for agencies and production companies, with confidentiality agreed upfront.
The stories behind the cars
We're just as fascinated by what happens away from the track. Restoring an older car, or modifying one for a specific purpose, takes skill, patience and a lot of decisions - and every car has a story worth telling.
We film restorations and builds from start to finish, from the first strip-down to the moment it drives out of the workshop:
- Restorations - Bringing classic and older cars back to life, and the people who do it.
- Builds and modifications - Cars modified for a specific job, sport or purpose, and the thinking behind every change.
- Owners and their cars - The history, the memories and the reasons a car matters to the person who owns it.
- The people around the cars - Drivers, mechanics, marshals, owners and families - the community that motorsport brings together.
Got a restoration or build underway? Talk to us early and we can film it in stages, so nothing is missed.
