Here are some vids from the NCE meet at Thunderhill July 6th.
Couple things different from the last set of vids I did at Thunderhill:
1. I used a wide angle lense. Not sure if I like it better then without it. At the current camera mount angle I think it shows too much of the inside of the car and not as much of the track. The video compression also has a harder time with it so the overall video quality once compressed isn't as good as before. Pros: You can see my guages and both my hands.
2. I mounted the Mic in a different part of the trunk closer to the exhuast. I did this thinking the exhaust would be louder. In fact, it was the opposite. I ended up getting more wind noise then before (I don't run with the back seats in so wind can get into the trunk through the sides) so I actually got LESS exhaust noise then before and overall just is too much wind distortion.
Here are the vids, as before, you will need the latest flash plugin to view them:
First couple laps in the 2nd session

Couple laps with no traffic

Some laps with a Mini and Mike in his Evo who doesn't want to lift when he points me by. :x :lol:

Me losing 4th gear in my tranny. If you listen well you can hear the vibration and nastiness, I lose it in the middle of turn 1
