Default Sunday morning video: onboard Nurburgring

Here's a cool onboard video shot from a GT3 Cup car at Nurburgring Nordschleife. Video quality is very good, and the narrator speaks in English.
Great explanation of each turn.

Hope this isn't a repeat.

Excellent video! A treat to see all those cups like ducks in a row.

Did anyone notice the black/white car with the huge wing that passed the camera car early on? It had the tail and third brake lights rigged to be constantly flashing, though none of the other cars were similarly set up.

1:37 on the video.....

What's up with that?

Is that why it goes blinky blinky and the other bada** GT3s don't?

Should I do the always blinking tail and 3rd brake light mod?

The blinking is bec the scanning freq is diff on the led brake lights of the car vs the freq of you comp monitor.
