Support Team Shaun_E Posted May 14, 2019 Support Team Share Posted May 14, 2019 Here's my somewhat off the pace final run from Sunday. Pleased with the quality of the Go Pro image but realise I need to remove the rear view mirror. Built in GPS means it was easy to add the speedometer, G-meter and position. Have yet to try syncing the video with the data from the Dash 2 but will give it a go later in the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Blyth Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Thanks Shaun, it looked as frantic from inside the cockpit as it did from outside! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dobson_justin Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 That is a great vid, apart from the mirror as you say. Watching this and Tom’s vid makes me realise how little I know about Curborough, but have given me some great insight into how to go faster! I was not even using kerbs last week...You definitely know how to carry good speed through the apexes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rj Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Nothing wrong with the location of the mirror Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative Richard Price Posted May 19, 2019 Area Representative Share Posted May 19, 2019 Justin,“I was not even using the kerbs” - didn’t you watch any video BEFORE the event last weekend ?additionally, you obviously forgot all you were told at the intro to sprinting day!

Area Representative Richard Price Posted May 19, 2019 Area Representative Share Posted May 19, 2019 Shaun,why does it look like the camera is swinging around with G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Support Team Shaun_E Posted May 20, 2019 Author Support Team Share Posted May 20, 2019 Hi Richard - I suspect that's due to the "hypersmooth" image stabilisation which crops the image slightly and then removes any camera shake. I guess that as the car goes through the corner the crop moves in that direction to compensate. The camera is a Hero 7 Black and I shot the video in 2.7k at 50fps with the hypersmooth on. This absolutely mullered the battery life so I'm going to drop to 1080p in future and maybe try the standard stabilisation.Shaun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative Richard Price Posted May 20, 2019 Area Representative Share Posted May 20, 2019 Shaun,I'm using my Hero 4 Black in only 720P mode. I've tried higher resolutions, but even on a 40" 4k TV, I can't actually see any noticeable difference! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dobson_justin Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 To be quite honest Richard, I still felt very new when I arrived at Curborough! I watched the vids after and thought the same as you, which was why didn’t I watch these first! :). I struggled with grip, which may have been my new tyres being too new, I also moved the brake balance the wrong way for one run and went on the grass as a result, and the fact I was not taking the right approach meant I was not quite prepared for the first round to say the very least! I also had not had chance to have any practice in my new car, so the first practice run was exciting...all part of the learning process I suppose!As for remembering the intro to sprinting day, that was almost 2yrs ago! I can’t remember what I went into a room for most of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannyboy Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 JustinThe harder you go - the more grip you will have in all honesty as you generate heat in the tyre. I've always attacked the first corner (flagpole) extremely hard at Curborough to generate heat for the rest of the run..I always aim for the kerb on the inside at flagpole - but rarely hit it due to scrub and understeer as the tyres are still cold - but it it puts you in a position on track to open up the right into woodside.I'm not the best example of how to do Curborough - but the only Kerb I don't hit at Curborough is Fradley and that's not through want of trying!Molehill - you actually want to be halfway up the bank in all honesty..

Dobson_justin Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Thanks! I have definitely not being committing to the track properly by the sounds of things! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
