I used the suction cup mount and attached it to driver's side windshield.

I used a tether the first couple runs to be sure though.

The GoPro has two modes for exposure, one is average of whole scene, other uses measurements from center so that when it's inside the car it gets the shot exposed for the scene outside the windshield.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Here is a video I shot at a PCA DE this weekend at Putnam Park. This was my first track event ever. This video shows me chasing and then catching a 997 GT3. It was definitely my weekend highlight.

Help us out here (nice video quality by the way, except for the music)....the conclusion that you're drawing is that you're a better driver? Or is it that you had a better car?
What conclusion are you drawing about the other driver or his car?
Nice vid Bobby! I have driven Putnam 4 times and it really is a great course. Looks on some corners your turn in is a little early but not bad for your first DE. To be honest though I think if the GT3 was really ballz to the wall you (nor me) wouldn't have a chance . I passed a Turbo one time and actually thought I was hot sh_t until he showed me who was boss....its fun to chase down cars but it can VERY un-nerving being the chase-ey. So when is the next DE?
Nice job driving the line......that definately aided you keeping up and passing the gt3.
You can rent this guy for the next DE...youll pass everyone..guarenteed.

Then....bring him home and he'll provide the victory party.

Looks great! Have fun?!?
BTW, stay track left down the front straight - unless you're passing. It may confuse people (either passers or passees) in the future.
Kudos for doing your first event. Slower cars passing faster cars happens at every event; be careful not to get the mist or confuse the DE with a race. I passed much faster cars in my C4S. Its comfort level and instruction in the student groups.
This picture I love, in
Green
. No, I couldn't get by him in Green where we could only pass on the straights. Yes, that is a Ferrari Challenge car. Dell was having a
fit
.
Counter point: I was letting cars by me with less than half the HP of the GT3 at my first event, and even still at my last event on a track that I was familiar with. There was a Miata that ate my lunch in the corners while I struggled, but I could close a 5 second+ gap easily on the straight. He woudl give me the point by, but I learned just to wave it off because I knew he would be all over me again soon.
Seat time, seat time, seat time.
Have fun. Be safe!
I'm not drawing any conclusion at all. His car is obviously far, far faster and more awesome than mine and he ended up passing me a few laps later. I had a chance to talk with him over the weekend and he was very friendly.
As this was my first time on a track and I have a long way to go in terms of driving skills, I just thought it was noteworthy I was able to even keep up with him.
that's cuz you're an aggressive driver "ricky" bobby...j/k. Don't let it get the best of you tho....we'd hate to see you cause damage to you, others, or your car....
Nevertheless, good job BB.
I'm really not! I always maintain a safe following distance and I always let other people in traffic, especially in the Pcar because I think it reflects badly on all Porsche drivers when I don't as courteously as possible.
I think you did well.... and your attitude is in the right place.......
the fact that you are at a track event in your car and not out on the highway trying to act like a doofus is a testiment to how smart you are... you keep it up and you will do well !
FYI.....I think you did a great too! Looking forward to hearing of your next DE experience. The Blue Grass Region PCA has DE in Oct I think at Putnam. Maybe I will see you there. Might be able to help you out with a place to stay.
Phew! I'm glad someone is trying to counterbalance my transgressions!
I thought your driving was very nice - better than most first-timers. It looks smooth and you're driving a nice line. (Perhaps you had a good instructor!
)
Nope, not one of my boys. You know how? In the videos where I was the instructor you can see my hands all over the place talking like an italian
Remember, I am the meastro!
I think so. This was the 2nd to last run on Sunday.
At one point, the 'Vette dude with "Hey Judd" on his bumper roared past me on the straightaway. I might have video of that too for you.
I used the suction cup mount and attached it to driver's side windshield. I did this so I could start the video easily from driver's seat. I attached a photo to further illustrate the location
One note though: by placing it so high I caused the audio to be extra windy. That's why I put music over the video.
I contacted GoPro support and this is what they had to say:
Update for Case #54545 - "Audio Issues"
Hi Bobby,
If you find that you are picking up too much wind noise in your recording, there are several things you can do to minimize this.
1) When you don't need the camera to be waterproof and are traveling under 100MPH, you can use the open back housing door. This will allow for more of the engine or exhaust noise to be picked up by the microphone, and override the wind noise.
2) Mount the camera in a location that is exposed to the wind as little as possible. Placing the camera right in the line of the wind stream, such as at the top of the windshield, will cause the most wind noise.
3) Mount the camera closer to the surface of the car. If the camera is mounted using a fully extended extension arm in an area of high wind, the extension arm itself will generate a bit of wind noise that the camera's microphone will pick up.
Hopefully these tips get you some improved results. Please let us know if you have any further questions.
Many Thanks,
GoPro Support

so suction cup mount is ok OUTSIDE the cabin but not inside.... good to know.
I have a panavise mount I wonder if I can trust it to hold my flip cam properly w.o it flying off mid DE
Anyone?
Yeah, that thing is really stuck on there. I hit 120 on the straight and it didn't go anywhere. I used a tether the first couple runs to be sure though.
I did have to wash some bugs off it though
same camera mount I have, I tried several times to get a good inside/outside vid but the lack of functions on the apature mean I wash out the outside with overexposure... also turn the MIC level to "low" and it will be much better.. my first couple vids are nothing more than clicks and pops
The GoPro has two modes for exposure, one is average of whole scene, other uses measurements from center so that when it's inside the car it gets the shot exposed for the scene outside the windshield. That part works pretty well actually.
Audio.. not so much so far.
Bobby, do you have the HD model? I'm told that does a much better job with exposure - especially simultaneous inside/outside.
I've had good luck mounting my camera on the roof, as opposed to the windshield... That's what I did for this video:
https://rennlist.com/forums/996-foru...yesterday.html
(I only have the non-HD one.)
It does collect the bugs! I had a bug splat that was so bad the rest of the video was useless!
Those suction cups are strong. Every time I was in staging, someone would wave me to stop, give it a strong shake, shrug, then motion for me to go out.
Nice video. I'd enjoy more engine sounds instead of music though
Only major change I'd suggest is your transitions be more smooth between turns. Harder turning eats speed and available power for acceleration.
The camera is the GoPro Hero HD.
Unfortunately, mounting the camera on the windshield drowned out all engine noise because of the wind. That's an important mistake I hope you all can avoid in your future camera endeavors.
My camera was mounted inside the car and even then it had wind noise. (windows down of course)
here is a video of mine

^^^^^
NiCe LiNe !!
itsd odd to hear your instructor talk... I take it you dont have 2 way communicators. The wind noise is BAD... but still better than mine was
- I can hear the motor sometimes
what camera?
was that your phone??
PS I like how you stuck to "your" line while following, that is tough to do.. itrs easy to follow "his" line
The rear facing portion of this video is from my gopro hero mounted on the rear bumper of my 944. The sound is quite good - it's away from the wind and next to the exhaust.
Thanks! He had communicators but one was broken. I was using a cheap Best Buy brand camera "insignia" I had a suction cup mount on the rear windscreen.
