Today we lost a true pillar of the automotive community.
"Jason HuangâIn the car world, Kyle was one of the good guys. Weâre going to miss him terribly. A favorite memory of mine was back in Indy one year; his team was there, but he couldnât make it. It was his bday so we zoom chat him from the Mexican restaurant singing happy bday on FaceTime. All 25 of us. My team some friends and his crew who were there and his smile was as big as can be. Thanks for the memories Kyle Loftis."
"Ryan FisherâVery tragic to see this today. When we started hosting events back in 2011, I remember how huge of a deal it was that 1320 decided to start covering them and showing up. Kyle was one of many in the industry I idolized, and it was surreal to know him on a personal level. He was always one of our biggest supporters, and one of the best hearted guys around. He created a legacy that will live on far beyond him, and helped so many successful people get their start. I know we would not be where we are without him, and it pains me that he wonât get to continue to share in the love and relationships fostered because of him. RIP my man, keep an eye on all of us from above."
Kyle Loftis, founder of 1320Video.com, wasnât just behind the cameraâhe was the culture. He helped bring street cars, racers, and enthusiasts from all corners of the world together through a lens that felt raw, real, and authentic.
He had a way of capturing moments that made you feel like you were right there â whether it was a late-night street pull, a small-town race, or a world-record pass. But more than that, Kyle captured people. The passion, the grind, the personalities⌠the soul of the scene.
Because of him, countless builds were seen, stories were told, and an entire generation fell deeper in love with motorsports.
This one hits hard.
The impact he made on this industry is something that will never fade. His work will continue to inspire, and his presence will be felt every time a camera comes out at the line.
Rest easy, Kyle. Thank you for everything you gave to this community.
Share your favorite moments with Kyle.
