Track Day Video Thread

[Vox Populi]

This was my first time using a gopro. It is a Hero3+, set on 720p @ 60fps on the widest lense setting. I'm not happy with how the videos came out. Sound quality isn't great, and the track is washed out and hard to see. The track being washed out might be because of the seat in the way and the camera is having a hard time focusing contrast. Any suggestions?

you need to turn the camera into spot meter mode. Google a quick look cheat sheet for the Hero3+ and follow the instructions. It will change the whole video.

My first time on the 2-mile Thunderhill West track in Northern California. Also my 3rd track day in the E36 M3. This was Monday Feb 16th. Not very fast and nothing very exciting to watch, but lots of fun for me learning a new track.

Road Atlanta with Chin Motorsports on 3/9/2015. Pilot Super Sports. Blew a few corners big time but managed a 1:44.x. Looking forward to improving that.

Pretty interesting map on the overlay. What are you using for data and to overlay?

What kind of seat do you have? You're leaning a lot. Nice video

Just grabbing data from Harry's Lap Timer w/ a 1hz GPS (not super accurate). The overlay is done by Race Render. http://racerender.com/Products/index.html

Recaro Profi SPG. I probably could tighten up the harnesses a bit more. And thanks - wish the audio connector hadn't taken a dump on me.

loooove an spg....

your leaning may benefit from tighter belts... but its usually your mindset, and biomechanical habits tied into your brain....lol


before each session think of NOT doing that.

That's a really good time for those tires at that track. Nice driving.

Hey guys, speaking of "leaning", figured I would share. Been snooping around for a bit and finally got the car sorted enough for its first track day at Buttonwillow.

Sometimes I wonder why we bother with all the trick parts: This was a stock suspension e36 non M, stripped and caged with Dunlop Direzzas .
couple of laps in there's a 1:17.7 which is a pretty decent time at NJMP Lightning!

Also driving on street tires is kind of fun

Same track, NASA TT in a TTB MCoupe with old R7. Best lap time 1:13.4

Nice driving!

I forgot this one

[=BA=]

Some laps from a open pitlane day at Zolder in Belgium.

Unfortunately I got black flagged for exceeding the sound limit and got send home.

Adjusted the rear camber just before that, unfortunately the rear tracking is way out causing the tires to overheat. Car was on used Pirelli slicks that I used at Spa before

Good battles.

Black and Red M3's playing at NMSP:


My clutch blew on the way to track day this weekend, and my endurance team is in Daytona without me so I am waxing nostalgic.

A couple of laps of NJMP Thunderbolt this past weekend. I was following a Miata (well, trying to). It's obvious that the extra 120 HP is going to waste on me. I have a lot to learn!

I'm driving a caged 98 M3, floppy rearview mirror, GC Adv Design suspension, PFC 08s, Toyo RA1s. My best lap was a 1:38.9.

Hi guys, got a GoPro recently and starting taking videos. This was from Laguna Seca with NCRC on 6/8. Second time at the Laguna with the car, but first time trying out the new suspension and tires. Currently, the GoPro is just mounted on my head. I'm planning to make a static mount probably hanging off of the passenger seat headrest.



The hotter the day got, the harder it got to downshift into 2nd at turn 11 at high RPMs. Hoping this isn't the indication of expenses to come.

(Watching video of myself makes me realize how sloppy I am with the wheel)
