Default Editing Go Pro video

I am trying to post a video of me chasing (and passing) a ZO6 (ZO7) 'Vette at Summit Point, but am unable to edit long video to just a few laps. Would greatly appreciate any help - thanks.

If you only need to take a segment of the video, without fancy editing, you could use "Virtual Dub". It's free and quite simple!

A little lap at the Nurburgring GP (damp condition) where I chase a Cayman GT4 :

Thanks! I'm still learning how to drive in those kind of conditions! That's a really good training!

Another video where I had some fun in corner with a Megane RS :
(I slowed down in straight to keep the fun!)

Track day last week at Thunderhill East 3-mile course. Set PB time of 2 minutes - however, I can see where I'm losing time still. More work to do...

Stock alignment and tires. GMG center section exhaust and harness bar.

Did a 1:37.5 lap of Laguna Seca in a GT3 on MPSC2s this weekend. Not much finesse there because I was tired and somewhat angry, and also was chasing the purple ACR. But GT3 did well.


One thing that I'm trying to figure out is that with my set up the front end has a very narrow optimal trailbraking and steering angle window. Basically, too little trail braking - understeer. Too much trailbraking - either understeer or oversteer, depending on speed. Nail it just right - beautiful turn or oversteer if front end grabs too much. It's like trying to balance on a tightrope.

I tried GT3RS right after driving my GT3, and it was much easier to get the front end to grip just right and balance it with rear end to get smooth rotation rather than snap. In fact, I was more confident in someone else's GT3RS in 5 laps than in my own car. Maybe it was because I was further from the limit. But not really - the RS was sliding too. It's more like the difference between tightrope vs. balancing board. Maybe my set up was wrong.

I really enjoyed driving the RS.

Good to hear this. Looking forward to getting my RS out and experience this myself.

My best times were 2:29.xx. I was in MSC2 tires. Hoosers had a 3-5 second advantage on the SCs. It was a fun 3 day weekend with Speed Ventures.
