Here is a video of my second time in the RS at TWS. Fast forward to about 6:00 min. Had a great run with a 700 hp GTR & Vette.. you can see how hard they pull me on the straights, but I managed to hold my own..:) I'm starting to get used to the RS...

Great vid. I was fortunate to drive a Cup-tire GT3 last week. What a great car. Your RS must be a riot to drive.

What you lacked in HP you certainly made up for in skills.... I'd rather have skills any day! Your line was far better!

Hey -- I'm pretty dang sure you can afford a better camera! Your's sucks! :D

Looks like it goes out of focus under braking and cornering. Maybe it's not mounted properly? Also, maybe it's focussing on your interior rather than the outside.

Nice vid BTW is that a Ferrari Challenge series race? I've seen those at the Canadian GP F1 race, do you run the entire series or just select events?

Thanks, I need to check that. I try and run as much as I can, it's hard to find time..

That's pretty cool, is it some sort of points or championship or do guys just run events as they wish?

Are there any prizes/purses etc for placing? I noticed it was a combo of private guys and dealership owned teams.

I'm sure you have alot more time to race now that the ex-wife has been bought out ;)

It's just for points / bragging rights..

I had that problem when I started using my GoPro too. Switch it to the SPt setting (Spot meter) on the exposure setting (you are likely on Cnt now). It looks like that's the problem to me.

Hey SW, great to see you around again! I had all kinds of issues with my GoPro also, it needs a remote and a bigger screen!!
Have you tried the Harry's Lap Timer app for the iPhone? It looks to be AWESOME, but I'm not smart enough I figure it out also!! LOL!! But I'm sure you can!! :cheers:

A couple, Suburban, F430 Spyder, ZO6...but stuff is just stuff. You cannot buy happiness and you really find out who your real friends are...
