Mid-Atlantic Track Video Guide - D_Eclipse9916 - 03-10-2011
I mentioned in a project thread that I would be compiling footage from Mid-Atlantic tracks and detail a lap around each track with the corner name and its "nickname" so people know what your talking about when your coming out of "hogpen". A few people, maybe one person really liked the idea, and I thought it would be a good MM resource for tracks youve never been to so that you can familiarize yourself. I put together this first video as a "test". I am looking for concerns, critique, comments, suggestions, and ideas to make this more informative and actually useful. So here it is:

That's pretty cool DJ! I like how you include the "names" of the turns. I learned something there actually!

I laff everytime someone calls the Uphill Esses the "Stevie Wonders".
Doesn't happen nearly enough though.

Thats pretty cool - I for one can't keep track of all that crap. I can see it being useful - it might help to incorporate a simple track map at the beginning of the video as an intro, and maybe bump up the brightness a bit if its a gloomy day when the footage is taken.
Also, your pile got left in the dust by that E46 like a bitch.

Thanks guys, its definitely a work in progress. Ill bump up the brightness just a bit, I didnt even think to do that.
As for the map, do you think beginning or end?
As for the E46, yes on the backstraight she left me like a bitch, we actually run very similiar times (2:14s) with me edging her out by a few tenths. That may change when I jump to being on hoosiers in 2 weekends, luckily, she is in a higher class anyway.
Check out the fucking Viper leaving us both like we are nothing

How about a track map with blinking position driving around it overlaid on the whole thing like GT? :mrgreen: Now that would be badass. Maybe a SMAD major could help you out.
Looks good otherwise.

i wouldn't mind seeing a gear indicator either. obviously cars are hugely different in driving characteristics but you can get a general idea.
awesome work though, looking forward to seeing more.

Yeeaahhhh... Stevie Wonders is the North Course after the bridge.
Re: Mid-Atlantic Track Video Guide - CaptainHenreh - 03-10-2011
Whatever, I still think it's funny.
<-- Doesn't give a shit.
Re: Mid-Atlantic Track Video Guide - Mike - 03-11-2011
Back in the day I made a site full of track videos... lemme find...

Some classic shit in there.
Re: Mid-Atlantic Track Video Guide - D_Eclipse9916 - 03-11-2011
Good resource. I think maybe once we are done doing the "walkthrough vids" we should make a stickied post with the guide and Mike's repository of track videos.
If anyone knows how to do a tracking map thing, itd be sick, but I figure I wont be able to do that until I get a traqmate, in which I will.
As for the gear indicator, I could add it, but im not sure itll be much use, im worried about "too much" going on distracting from actually just getting a feel for the track.
