Great FPV video but how do they do this ? Note extremely close to people ?
I have seen the same with a train video where the drone appears to go through the carriage past peoples heads and then through a restaurant ?
One big giveaway is that in none of these close proximity videos are any of the people aware or make any movement in a startled way as the drone passes within inches !
At first I thought involved actors but now its NOT so can someone explain how these shots are achieved
Drone / people you would get a CAA / FAA visit if as it appears

Wow! I have no idea how they do that. Unless they're all in on it and have been told not to look at the camera.

Can't give you an answer regarding possible needed paperwork to be allowed to do it... but to make a flight like this you need to be a seasoned FPV acro (full manual) flyer, preferably using a cinewhoop drone & instruct all inside the house how to behave & act when the drone is inside the house. Outside around the track I doubt anyone knew more than that a drone would be flying & chasing them.

Furthermore... the video was also sped up during some sections in the vid.

Sub 250g drones flown in Acro mode usually with fully enclosed props. Indoors is not under FAA rule and outdoors is not over a crowd. The racers were very likely participants (actors) for the video.

This is very likely a sanctioned video to advertise Daytona Motor Sports.

Yep.

They signed a waiver.

Much like the participants in this Home Depot advertiment.
