Fun in an Audi R8 at Summit
#1
Went to Friday at the Track today at Summit Point in my dad's Audi R8. The morning session was on a soaking wet track, but the skies cleared and the track dried quite quickly just before noon. I setup a GoPro camera outside of the car on the top of the windshield, and had another camera inside taking video of the steering wheel and shifter. I managed to put them together into one video. Keep in mind that the GoPro is positioned in front of the passenger, not exactly in the center of the windshield.

Dry: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1JS49Nyj5M&hd=1">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1JS49Nyj5M&hd=1</a><!-- m -->

I didn't get any in-car video for the wet session. Boooo.

P.S. I forgot the password to my original account, and I don't remember which email address I used to create it, so I just made a second account. If a mod could reset the password and email for my original account (Eclipsor), I'd appreciate it.

Thanks. It's the frequency at which those specific LED lights blink. It just so happens to cause that effect on camera.

No chance your dad would be willing to drive this car out for a photoshoot, would he?

At this point, I'd like JMU and sometime in the next two weeks. If that doesn't work, then at his leisure.

Hah, that probably won't work. I'll see what I can do, though.
