Systems and methods for providing video enhancement for sporting events

A system of video enhancement for event broadcasting, comprising:

• a server platform in network communication with at least one input capture device for a first event and at least one user device;
• wherein the at least one input capture device is operable to collect and transmit input data relating to the first event to the server platform;
• wherein the server platform is operable to analyze the input data, thereby creating analyzed data;
• wherein the server platform is operable to access historical data for at least one historical event;
• wherein the server platform is operable to overlay a graphical element representing an element for comparison on video images of an element of interest in the first event;
• wherein the at least one user device is operable to display the graphical element on the video images of the element of interest via an interactive graphical user interface (GUI);
• wherein the interactive GUI is further operable to display statistical data for the element of interest and the element for comparison;
• and
• wherein data relating to the first event and the at least one historical event is synchronized from the beginnings of both events.

A method of video enhancement for event broadcasting, comprising:

• providing a server platform in network communication with at least one input capture device for a first racing event and at least one user device;
• the at least one input capture device collecting and transmitting input data relating to the first racing event to the server platform;
• the server platform analyzing the input data, thereby creating analyzed data;
• the server platform accessing historical data for the at least one historical event stored in a database;
• the server platform comparing driver performances in the first racing event and the at least one historical event based on the analyzed data and the historical data;
• the server platform overlaying a graphical element representing a driver and vehicle for comparison on video images of a driver and vehicle of interest in the first racing event;
• the server platform synchronizing data relating to the first event and the at least one historical event from the beginnings of both events;
• and
• the at least one user device displaying the graphical element on the video images of the driver and vehicle of interest via an interactive graphical user interface (GUI).
