 Remote CART and Captioning
Remote captioning on the internet is just what you might imagine: a captioner is in a remote location and, while receiving the audio feed, is providing captioning (streaming text) along with the video image being broadcast over the internet.
Remote CART differs from remote captioning because, unlike captioning a webcast or streaming video on the internet, the CART reporter is providing only streaming text while receiving the audio feed.
CART is now available remotely, which means that your CART provider is in a remote location from you, listening to what is being said at your location, while you are able to view the instantaneous streaming text on your computer, handheld device or cell phone depending on the ability of your particular device.

 Champ Car - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
CART was founded in November 1978 by Roger Penske, Pat Patrick, Dan Gurney, and several other team owners who had been participating in USAC events involving cars known as Champ Cars and IndyCars.
This, combined with CART's move to include more road racing on the schedule, led to a split of the series after the 1995 season due to a dispute between egos at CART and Tony George, owner of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
The only major mistake that CART made early on seemed to be its attempt to create a rival showcase event, the U.S., at Michigan International Speedway on the same day as the Indy 500.

 Remote CART
Remote CART works exactly like on-site CART in that the reporter writes a realtime text of the spoken word, which appears on the consumer's computer screen.
While the consumer and speaker are typically in the same location, they do not have to be, as remote CART can be used just as well with the speaker, CART provider and consumer in three different locations (as is often the case with business conference calls).
In addition, the text box runs independently from the video, so the consumer can, for instance, enlarge the text box or the font within the text box without disrupting the video feed; the consumer can also go back in the transcript to review something while the text is still flowing.
