Here's a video from Sunday at Blyton Park. Weather forecast was good all day, but typically it was wrong!
'Timeline':
First minute or so: Going sideways
1:12 onwards: Some nearly dry laps, but tyres refused to get any heat in them.
6:05 onwards: Gradually wetter conditions, snow at the end.
12:07 onwards: Chap from MX5 Nutz forum in the passenger seat, I managed to drive through a huge puddle and soak him Sound is useless on this clip
cos the mic was getting soaked so I had to take it out of the car!
Cheers,
Adam
PS: Motorbike 'dry suit' with side zip and latex gloves under my normal gloves saved the day, highly recommended!

Loving the soaking of the passenger!
Thanks! Haha, yeah that was quite funny. Completely un-intentional, but he saw the funny side luckily

Great vid, actually watched it all which I never do when people post there trackday vids
What mic setupmaremyou using with I presume a gopro
Ah - thank you. I must say I usually do the same, so I appreciate it.
The mic is a Zoom H1 (http://www.studiospares.com/zoom-h1-silver-portable-recorder/invt/361325?source=215_74&gclid=CLOC1oOCi7YCFc3HtAodXlEAFQ)
which I mount under the dash, and it has a foam wind noise reducer shoved on the end (you can probably see it in the 'dry' vids, on the
tunnel top by the datalogger). I put it there so it's out of the wind and rain.
The only 'problem' is that you have to sync the video and audio in editing software afterwards, but I think the extra effort is worth the
result. Obviously plugging an external mic into the GoPro would mean a hole in the housing which wouldn't be ideal for the conditions in the
vid!
