This is from the PCA event at TWS 10/24-25. Video is from a GoPro Hero camera....audio quality sucked so I added some music.

Yeah, I know....lap times are sloooow. Excuses are like you-know-what but this was my first time at TWS and some poor guy had just spun a gorgeous Porsche GT3 into the wall entering the back straight 20 minutes before this session...if you look closely you can see the skid marks....seeing that slowed me down a notch or two so be gentle nutkick.gif

Nice.

Gotta love the GPH for video recording.

The skid marks at 1:57? Wow ... he just freaking blew that corner in order to be way out there.

Curious what you finally used to edit the video?

Nice video! Love the music - going to see them in 17 days.

Mitch - yeah, he started losing the rear end in the big sweeper, was trying to gather it up but it turned into a full tank-slapper by the time he hit the transition to the banking and it was all over at that point. Front end hit the wall hard and then the car spun / drifted down track and smacked the rear end into the pit wall. It was ugly...driver was fine, car looked like a complete write-off.

For the editing, I just used MovieMaker. It wouldn't bring the audio level up enough so I just threw music over top. I'm sure I'll want to figure out a way to get decent audio down the road but given my budget and time constraints, this works for now. Thanks for the tips smile.gif

I've never been to this track but it looks like it leads all through the infield and there could be 10+ different configurations! I would be afraid of getting lost but it appears you have run this track several times. That's a pretty clean video with very little shake. Did you use a suction cup mount to the windshield?

There are several configurations possible but I've only seen them run this config and just change directions. I ran this track once on a bike going the other direction a few years ago but this was my first time there in the car and first time running the course backwards. Thanks for the compliments on the video...I did use a suction cup mounted to the windshield. I'm really impressed with this camera setup...especially for the price.
