I didn't... this thread is flying today!

I have a 2-camera mount... so you can capture front and back with two different cameras.

Was gonna let you borrow it if you wanted to use it.

You can borrow mine Lawrence, 4 gig stick 24FPS, nice resolution, it's about 45 mins of video

Why would you record the back? haha so you can watch how fast the pros come flying up on your ass!

By the end of the day, you will not be tired or aching...

do you like your paddles Mike? I noticed a few times transitioning from a turn i would accidentally click my paddle to upshift and then i would loose all power to get out of the turn and would have to waste time and downshift again.

I dont use the paddles either, I put it in DS, at Fontana Speedway the car shifted at all the correct points except on one turn, which I would use the paddle to shift myself.

Haha thanks Mike but i should be fine for now. Im curious though, with the digi cam you use, can you get your steering wheel and the track into view for the camera. im not sure if its just my camera but i can either get my full steering wheel with like no view to the track or half my steering wheel but i get the whole view of the track.

Crimson92 · 05-12-2008, 04:41 PM

just make sure you guys dont drive like nabil and shift after the turn.....

lol

Yea DS is great at predicting what you are trying to do. But i drive in M mode like 99.9999% of the time (this is what i get for not getting 6mt) and when on track i hate the stupid paddles. but on the street, they are soo convenient

Or how fast you beat someone...

You can also film sideways. It gives you the flexibility to film with two cameras (with two mounts).

If I had a rear camera, you'd see me flying by those R32s at a previous track event.

Takes some time getting used to. I'd say at the beginning, take a few laps in DS, to get a feel for the track, where the apexes are, where the straightaways are, etc...

I was MT before and so it took some getting used to with the paddles. Also, the paddle shifting in the 335i isn't what I was used to. Doesn't shift the same as the paddles in the M3.
