MotorPride Creates Unique Video Upload Function For Racers And Other Car Enthusiasts


From MotorPride.com Media

Los Angeles, Calif. (June 28, 2005) – MotorPride, LLC, the premier online community for automotive enthusiasts, recently added a video upload function to its extensive set of features.

Headquartered in Los Angeles, Calif., Motorpride, LLC was co-founded by Kelly Perdew, the winner of NBC’s hit reality show The Apprentice 2.

MotorPride's main objective is to give car enthusiasts access to enhanced online tools without the need for a web designer.

"The focus of MotorPride is on car enthusiasts of all kinds: cruisers, racers, hot-rodders or just the normal car owner who likes to share and gain additional information about his/her ride," stated Kelly Perdew.

Recently, a video upload function was added to the existing set of features such as upload and sharing of images, articles, links and event information.

The rules are simple: A video has to be in Quicktime (MOV), Windows Media Player (WMF) or MPEG format. Single videos can not exceed 5 MB in size. "We had upload speed and web space in mind when we set these limitations. Depending on the screen size of the videos, we should see some good 60 second or longer sequences," stated Klaus Holzapfel, General Manager of MotorPride.

MotorPride is an official partner of the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA).

"The SCCA is very excited about MotorPride introducing this new feature. It will provide our racers with an outstanding opportunity to share their best shots: overtaking maneuvers, pit stops or an Autocross run. Many of our racers have their own cameras on board, and MotorPride will be the premier platform for them to share their content with other SCCA members along with non racing members of MotorPride," said Garret Mudd, SCCA Vice President of Marketing.

Basic users with free memberships are able to upload one video per account. Premium memberships with extra web space and other additional features are available and let users share multiple videos.
