Very well done. That took a hour or two.
Nice edit too.
I did a test of my GoPro last week..but I need another mount. What one were you using?
Suction cup I assume?
Nice work.
Should be a buyers promo

I got the motor-sport version so yes I have the large suction cup. I also have a few extra bits so I can angle and extend the arm. Two things I learnt from this little project that I can share;
1) Sound is the GoPro's weakest point
2) keep the attachment arm as short as possible to minimize shaking

Interesting, I haven't heard of one of these before. I have a StickyPod which enables you to use your own camera.

Cracking little video...thanks for posting. The ending with the spoiler retracting was perfect :-)

That was cool...love all the different angles, especially the shot showing suspension travel.
Love seeing the wheels move up and down with the car in complete control.

Thanks for all the comments. With all the angles tested I'll know better how to place the camera for track events. Up to now I have only filmed from within the car.

Nice work.

And those are some crazy-skinny country roads there in Sweden!
(I'd sure hate to meet my doppelganger -- coming from the opposite direction...)

Actually I am surprised at how narrow the road looks, it does not feel this way when driving. And almost all corners are visible so there are no surprises. I think the most correct feeling of speed is from the angle from behind the seats.
