Ben, so you got Harry's and the GPS, etc talking? Comes out really well. Will buy another phone mount to try again. Yours was from Big W wasn't it?

Clay, the GoPro black also comes with the bluetooth remote which is usually around the $120 from recollection, so that in itself almost warrants the black. I'm in Singapore atm and been asking around but nobody has em here, didn't bother asking when in china but Bris airport has the black for $499 and seen as cheap as $419, and the Sony Action Cam for $299... Any of the GoPro's still seem more versatile IMO.

Sean, ya, big dub. I actually still can't get an external GPS signal in Harry's. Those vids are with internal GPS + Bluetooth OBD.
I'll keep trying to get Harry and UltiMate to be friends.

I love how smart Harrys is, it changed the circuit on the fly. I got good results from the Luxa H5 video mount, I'd upload the video but it has a lot of me and my mate yabbering and I hate my voice

But it defs looks like a lot of fun and QR is much, much closer for me. I'd be all for it Machine

Yeah I was curious if the GPS was talking as the "frame rate" on the map was slower but the speed was moving quickly, but as that'd be from obd that'd make sense now. I might look for obd for mine as comparing to when you get off the throttle it feels I'm running much deeper into the corner - though feeling and reality may be vastly different, haha. I guess g-forces would tell too.

Reader - I have the same problem, even if its just me in the car, complimented with my potty mouth. Just overlay music or turn off audio

Can do mate.
Most likely you'll be automatically in the next one with so many people on the list already.

Are you part of the Renault club now as well? How often do they have their 'happy laps' (although I know their ones are more serious than ours).

Yes, I have joined the RCCQ. Their happy laps are pretty much monthly and pretty much only at QR. What do you mean by "serious"?

Sorry to be a noob, is it easy to join?

Details?? Yeah I'd be keen for something a little more serious and QR suits me. Don't suppose they'd want to be invaded by the Germans

I did a happy laps with them a while back when they offered a few spots to us watercooled members. I think I was the only one who showed up. Anyway, Migs and I just joined and yes, it was pretty easy. I don't know how many non-Renault driver/owners they're willing to accommodate, but let me have a word with them and I'll get back to you guys

I'd like to join too (and as a fellow Frenchie driver). I went to their invitational event as well for us watercooled peeps. I think I thought more serious as they had the car inspection sheet to complete. Not serious - serious just more focused than ours that seem to be laid back.
