Lakeside Laps v13 - 24 February 2013

[seangti]

More funner! And I wanna scare the crap outta Kieran. Not literally!

perhaps for those with AWD, not so much for those steering and accelerating with only two wheels. lol

becareful for what you wish for..

last Sat afternoon session:

Time Attack Lakeside | Sat 16 Feb 2013 | Stressball - Boostcruising Australia

but I heard from my Boss it was the driver's first track run and it was his second lap.

the morning session was awesome, great conditions, not too hot, no dramas, fast cars everywhere and managed to get a 1:07:94 PB on street tyres Potenza RE050A (which somehow last very long!! 4mm thread depth on the middle with 25,000km with a few track days and many Happy Laps)

Yup, if it's wet, not sure I'd bother running around lakeside. Risk Vs return isn't worth it.

You're sick, Eggy. I said NOT literally. That means YES figuratively.

Let's swap cars. I spent most of my driving life in FWD in rain, sleet and snow!

Done

I'm sure you've experienced that once it rains australians get confused and forget how to drive.

Wow, 55 in the rain by a Rex driver. Awesome. I managed a PB 1:07.4 in the wet on Fri with BMW club.

My stock Dunlop Sport Maxx GT's have lasted 15k with a few happy laps thrown-in. Pilot Super Sports for street comin' up!

Sadly...yes.

But it's like that everywhere.

[nat225]

The Rex is far from typical mods though.. came on a trailer.

It's done up to those cars you see on WTAC.

55s would have been when dry on those semis. The Porsche cup car runs on full slick and does 54s in dry.

Wow, 55 in the rain by a Rex driver. Awesome. ...!

Alright I'm blaming my poor reading skills on my heavy cold/virus I have at the moment.

Great result considering your had a Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man on your windscreen



Yes i know it's due to the rolling shutter of CMOS cameras but ssh

[Machine]

I've looked up CMOS but I still don't get it. Are you referring to the windscreen wipers?

Hah yeah the wipers, CMOS sensors cause trippy things to happen when stuff moves really quickly past it. Went on a nerd tangent

Airplane Prop + CMOS Rolling Shutter = WTF | Flickr - Photo Sharing!

[Machine]

Oooooh, I get it now. Never noticed that they look flexible and bendy as they come down. Maybe that's because I was going so fast. So incredibly fast.

Has anyone tried dashmounting or windscreen mounting a normal digital camera through a tripod mount at all at these happy laps? I'm asking as I want to overlay the go-pro footage with audio from inside the car (and perhaps have the interior footage in the top corner of the go-pro video) to try and get rid of the annoying wind buffetting and also to have a different persepective running at the same time.
