Yeah just no time to edit it yet, was running 3 camera, one mounted to my lid, one rear window and the other under the car

Nah not really had a good battle with my mate in his seat Leon (310bhp) but his brakes would only last a few laps and he would drop off, absolutely bullied that mk1 focus RS at 7 psi let alone when I turned it up to 1 bar, was a decent Scooby going round but he blew it up early on. Only cars I had no chance with was a radical sr3 and a few kit cars.

Quick video to test out the new gopro software as not used it before now, so no sound on the video, so many different options. Must say I'm really impressed with how clear the footage has come out and all I've done here is cut the main clip down, no editing or special effects

That is nice and clear .... cant wait to see the whole vid with sound 

Nice pics there mate looking forward to some footage

Looking good wouldmt mind a gopro myself

Friend of mine jumped in and was filming on his gopro hero(first edition) and it's still a clear picture.

Well guess better late than never, my laptop was unable to covert and edit the #gopro videos as it was a bit pre-historic and almost had a brick put through the screen where it was pissing me off....so the weekend I finally went and got a new laptop and played with some footage of me waiting for my friends seat Leon and my old puma which a friend bought off me to track.

YouTube has compressed the video quality but still pretty decent.

Very good video what BHP is your R?

I had it set to 0.7 in the morning and then upped to 1 bar. On the day so only 270 ish as it was the first day back on the road for a year.

Looks quick for 270. What go pro are you using & what mount as I got one for Christmas?
Carny wait to use it, how do you find it?

Yeh I was thinking the same, dous look quick for 270

Had the car setup 2 years ago with ed, hit 290 at 1.2bar with front mount fitted, but due to the core breaking down (long story) I've gone back to my top mount and left the boost on a bar, so it's a guess-timate at 270 but doubt I'm far off.

Nice one Mark, I hope I get to do a trackday in mine this year

Mines a hero 3 black edition, I've got it mounted onto my helmet visor using the 3m pads that come with it. I can't fault the camera the picture quality is amazing (prior to youtube) and I've not played with the frame rates. On my laptop I can clearly makeout the digital boost gauge.

And the little touch like the go pro app on your phone is spot on, as you can connect and get live feedback from the camera, stop/start recording and with the new update can also play back recordings on your phone/WiFi device.

It's a shame youtube compress your videos so much and effect the quality

Nice. Yep I've got that go pro app & it seems top notch. I'm impressed with the sound quality too. Are you running a external mic?

No standard setup no external Mic, can hear every detail, like the chatter and when I crunch gears in another video like a tit.

I had the open Skelton case on with no LCD bacpac to keep it light and minimise vibration
