On board video from my track day
Hi all,
I have up loaded my video to Youtube. The video quality is debatable and I had to crop the video quite heavily. The camera broke during this session
so its a great excuse to get a new one!
Things to look out for when watching the video:
- The caterham accadamy car that cant keep up, by a long shot! The driver came and found me in the pits to quiz me about my car.
- The DB9 I skin on lap 5
- Lap 7 is the quickest lap at 56.6 I did go quicker with a 56.2 but I did not catch it on video.
- This is the first track day since the Pro comp set up. Note the lacking tyre screeching and ease of setting the 56.6 lap, I was held up and it was
not that tidy. This car has plenty left in it.
- This is also the first time that I have used the 5Hz GPS Bluetooth technosnazzery. The speedo, track location and lap times are a lot more
accurate.
As always, feed back welcome. I want to put a seperate post up about racing lines but im going to wait until after the weekend to see what the RGB
guys do.
Enjoy!

What camera, and software did you use, as it looks good with all the info like speed, track layout, and G's

Hi,
Just been looking at your video!
There is a lot more time you can gain on most corners!
Happy to got through it with you some time.
A good start is the autosport guide. Lots of useful tips in there.

Impressive stuff Biz, especially as road tyres I bumble around as fast on slicks!

I understand the benfits of instructors but I do find it hard to se how I would benifit without going out in a tin top so I can actually hear and see
what he is talking about.
One thing I did not do this time is watch videos of pro drivers going around the track before the day. I do think due to this I was lost a little.
Thanks for the feed back.

Front facing camera - Old sony that I hacked apart to get a mic in (cut the internal mic and wired in a 2,5mm jack then used an xbox360 mic!). THis
has died now, too much sand a water into the zoom mechanicals.
Rear facing - MiniDV. These are top quality cameras and cost about £30. They are HD, built in battery and mic and take great video. Very small
aswell.
Data logging - Via Trackmaster app on a Galaxy S2. I have a Qstarz GPS receiver at 5Hz connected to the phone via Bluetooth. All data logging captured
from this including track shape and G meter. Export as an Excel spread sheet and Race Render does or the nice stuff with the raw data.
Video and data merging - I use Race Render Delux. Cost about £30 I think but a great bit of software.

I know what you mean but most instructors are used to deaing with the problem and be able to communicate in very simple hand signals. Personally i
think the limit on communication actually helps; Too much information isn't always a good thing. You will learn a lot more in a 20 min session
with an instructor than hours of watching videos.
