Great review!

Why no data? Do you have a system and it didn't work? Or no system?

Yup. Simply visit this webpage: http://gopro.com/camera-accessories

Make sure to get the skeleton housing + 3.5mm Mic adapter.

You are then good to go!

No TWS due to work conflict. Doing COTA with BMW club March 21-22, if tires hold up for two days.

I have an AIM Solo that I have never, EVER, forgotten to take to the track except of course that day. I wanted to make sure it had a full charge and forgot it on the charger. The good news is that it is now charged very well

Why use the stick on the track (especially in turns) when you have paddles? I always use the paddles on the track. Seems far safer to not be taking your hand off the wheel if you don't have to.

cool video.
I wish the 2015 MY Gt3's had some sort of "internal" data recorder option like the 2015 vettes will have, which would have fixed your AIM SOLO issue.

I wonder if they could retro fit something like this into the Sport Chrorno plus?

For fun! Those where the two warm up laps.

awesome writeup and vid!

Look forward to more as you break the car in. Particularly interested in comparisons between the GT3, C2S, TTS

Well this is a little disconcerting. I didn't expect them to last for 6 track days, but 3-4 would be nice.

I'm going to the track again this coming Saturday (with my coach). It will be the 3.1 mile track configuration. Now that I have better camber set up, I should know for sure how those tires stand up to abuse. I will run 4 or 5 30 minute sessions very hard. I'll report back, perhaps with another video.
