In Car Circuit Videos

[scooby36]

thanks heaps chris :] yea pretty happy with the day, the time of 58.05 on natsoft is incorrect as my GPS and video both agree with each other. old fella mustv been too quick pushing the button.

also on lap 3 of the 2nd vid split times indicate i was on course for a 58.18 for until i made the mistake, bugger.

Enjoyed watching you from various spots outside the track yesterday Cal...... very smooth mate, smooth is quick

[Marlin]

Ive always known Lakeside to be a high a speed circuit but thats the first time ive seen the speedo on a vid too, thanks Callum!

and just saw natsoft too - fastest lap of the meet - top work!

Do you not watch my vids Chris? lol

..... above on a very worn set of O3G's. Note the coner speed difference especially on the turn onto the straight Cal!

thanks heaps ben, good to see ya yesterday.

watching mine afterwards i am relying too much on safe understeer and its probably costing me time and killing my front tyres. i will adjust the balance for next time.

looks like the aero helps my mid corner speed a fair bit compared to yours.. weights being about the same 1190 no driver? and i have a lot of tyre too, 235/255

[evil_weevil]

never seen that one Ben!

but thats awesome!! cheers! I really want to do lakeside now

[Marlin]

It's a fantastic little track Chris, you need to find the time to get up here mate

I'm 1240 no driver from memory when I last corner weighted it.

Mine's screaming for a front splitter, it improved with undertray, splitter hopefully a step better. If I can get the front to tie up a bit better I can wind some wing back in on the rear.

Out at PI on the weekend. Droped the GoPro HD in a couple of different spots on the car. I've got another good one

still to cut up.

Very cool seeing the flames belch out the exhaust

[Ant97GTR]

Good work mate

+1 for the flames!

Soooo can anyone advise a noob on how to embed the vids like Richo's above?

[toffy]

i know it's not a skyline but i'm going to post it anyway

[scooby36]

sweet vids!

richo- love the suspension shot

and man toffy the amount of lock you need to wind in to turn that thing, im getting tired just watching !

explain the gearbox.. simple 3 speed yea? looks fuggin fun but hard work!

[ssxRicho]

Youtube embed is much easier in the new version of the software. Use the full editor and click the media button.

Toffy from 8:00 onward is madness. Cars all over the place.

[ssxRicho]

Also this is my favorite footage from the weekend.

Watch out for the piece of kitty litter from an earlier session.

[toffy]

Love it ^^ , looks like it wants to lift the tyres off the ground under hard brakes!

yeah three speed (think of starting in 2nd and that's about it) , i need to adjust it a lil better so i don't have to do a z to go from first to second

Toffy from 8:00 onward is madness. Cars all over the place.

yeah that whole race was like that, it got worse in memory , the top 8 cars ar within 5 hundredths of a second of each other in memory (although it doesn't seem it in the vid ). it all comes down to qualify/start line take off pretty much

They are nice vids. I cant help but think that the footage you are getting is better then what I am getting out of my Radcam...will have to try some of the settings on my thing.

Also, do you know where the timing beacon was located on the weekend, by my vids I was doing 1:07-1:08s on the short track, but I suspect I was backing off after the finish line and I suspect the beacon was on the back straight now that they have me 6 seconds slower?

[ssxRicho]

The timing was screwed up on the short track. Winton timing gave me a 1.10.x, racechrono gave me a 1.08.x and video gave me a 1.08.x

The long track timing was working correctly though.

As you say the beacon may have been somewhere else for the short track....?

I use the Go Pro HD's in centre metered mode all the time. This means that it takes light readings from the centre of the video and not from inside the car.

I'm cutting the vision of mine at the moment, but this is in my brothers car (white 33 gtst).

Got a couple pieces of lightning in the video, crazy stuff.

Watch out Stagea it's coming for you!

[Roy]

Here are a few dry laps from Winton on the weekend. Best was a 1:38.2 which I was pretty happy with!

[ssxRicho]

I think the camera needs to go up 5 inches to see the road more.

The car looks to be behaving pretty well.

shorty track

[Roy]

Yeh, its doing everything pretty well. I just need more seat time and need to get the general balance back to how it used to be which is to make it a bit pointier so i can drive it a little more on the throttle mid corner and get some better drive out of corners.

What is done to the front end of your car? It seems to need more steering angle then mine...but that could be tyres?

[Ant97GTR]

Good vids guys

Great to see the silver beast in action Troy. As for Richos steering angles...maybe its a 33 thing as mine seems to require a fair bit (will have to check my winton footage to compare) so much so that it feels uncomfortable to keep my hands on the steering wheel in the same positions
