For those who enjoy watching track footage, I took the V12V out for a second track day with AMOC this past weekend at Thunderhill and was able to get a decent video this time. Luckily we dodged the rain and had pretty good weather here in NorCal. The day started out a little foggy but once the sun burned through we all had plenty of quality track time.

Here's a couple laps from my last session, I re-positioned the gopro this time and used my phone to record data, also mounted a cheap lavalier mic on the back to get a good exhaust note:

 

brilliant video!

 

Love how that little corkscrew reminds you of Laguna Seca. First time I've ever seen a video of Thunderhill [that I can remember].

 

Fantastic! Thanks for sharing. Sounds like you're really at the limit there with the tire squeal. Curious did you have ABS off? Did a track day a while back and didn't even think of it till the end of the day.

 

That's awesome!! Great video!

 

Great vid! For a 'cheap mic' you got a pretty good soundtrack - love the rev matching on your downshifts!

 

Nice video. So AMOC allows other brands at their track days?

 

Great video!

How'd you overlay the car data?

 

Very cool video. I don't think at my age 59 1/2 my ***** are big enough to take my GT on a track day anymore.

I'm not sure I have the option to turn off ABS, the ABS on this car is a little different than other cars I've driven. I had the traction control in track mode which allows some slippage, the Pirelli P Zero Corsas like to squeal a lot.

I'm glad someone noticed! I've been working on it for quite a while...and could benefit from some more practice.

They do here, I'd say the best way to put it is AMOC and friends of AMOC.

I recorded the data using Harry's lap timer (with OBD2 and GPS add-ons via bluetooth), I also used the lap timer to record a low resolution video with sound so it wouldn't take up much space (via the external mic connected to the headphone jack of the phone). I used RaceRender to sync up video from the GoPro, data from the lap timer, and sound from the low resolution phone video.

 

awesome!

 

How/where did you mount the GoPro and the phone?

 

I mounted the GoPro just to the left of the rear view mirror, as high as I could get it (used a suction cup mount). The phone was mounted right in front of the nav screen on the piano black fascia using a ram mount.

 

Groovy... nice G's in the turns too. Empty track with lots of run-off = tons of fun. I love to track my Vantage S and I'm 2 years older than Mr. Avery... then again, I raced

up Mt. Washington on my bike last August.
