The r3v autocross video thread

[Wh33lhop]

Yep :)

The two fastest laps where I was ballsiest were cut off as the gopro ran out of batteries :( there is still time on the table if I can go truly flat through 8 and carry more speed through 9 and 11. I had to really nail most corners to get the 2:13s but I'm sure a 2:11 or 2:10 is there with a really ballsy talented driver, it's just really hard for me to keep my foot planted when I'm turning in at 100mph on stock suspension, lol. I can trail brake 1 at 110 no problem but my brain just won't let me keep it flat through 8 jumping berms at 100 headed for a ditch. Perhaps in the next few visits if they happen.

Thunderhill Nate?

Dude that course is awesome! I WISH we had courses like that up here!

This isn't exactly autocross, but my weekend was a bit more dangerous :)

Awesome course today. With a few more runs i think i could have cleaned things up a bit.

El toro is my favorite venue. Almost made it down today but couldnt get out there in time. Ill look for you at the next few. I either drive my sti of my IS.

Looked like a good course.

I tried mounting the GoPro to the sunroof like I've seen in this thread a couple times. I like it! I just need to figure out how to get the mirror to block less while still allowing a passenger.

Tricky course today and very low traction. I didn't do too great, but it's seat time.

Nice dude, what a course! You are super aggressive but if you are going for times you are probably overdriving a bit. Hard to see exactly what is going on in that course due to overexposure; if you want to use that camera angle try holding a white index car up to the gopro as you start it to trick it into using less exposure time, so we can see the course :p

Thanks, yeah haha, I tend to overdrive a lot at AutoX. Choppy steering inputs, and steering with the throttle are my character traits. In a real track setting, I am pretty much the opposite though, weird how that works!

For your tip on the overexposure, you mean hold up a white paper or something bright to it when it turns on? Hmm... I gotta try that!

craz azn didn't see much of the coarse but your form looks great!

Thanks man!! :)

A little fun with a friend in the car:

Think you'll stay in CA, move to wherever you get a job, or come back to CO and look for work here?

Wherever I get a job, honestly. CA at least till July, then CO if nothing has appeared.

Come on guys, take it to PM.

Come on guys, take it to PM.

I've always liked the sunroof view, I would suggest mounting it lower, just on top of the roof, and back a bit further, to see more of the driver's view. But that's just me.

Mine was with a gopro 1, so not much for aiming. I'd like it lower too.

Here is another one when the M5 was on RS3's.

Yea, last April. Thought I showed you the vid? I'll bump the Mountain thread, it's a fun vid.

Friends are going this weekend but my car's not ready and I don't have a job lined up yet. Finally done with school for good as of whenever I turn in this take home final.
