Those were SOOO cool during the ACWS and we were all led to believe that the 72's would have them as well.

Whats the deal?

On-board cameras are definitely required and are included in the class rule. If you want to learn more of the techy stuff google "media module". It is the aero fairing box provided and mounted in center of the rear beam. It is the brains to all the on-board cameras and microphones.

You can learn more about it:

Pletty of good techy details here.

What I haven't verified is if the Louis Vuitton is excluded and the cameras and mics are only used for the AC Finals.
