Default Start of GT3 Challenge Race 2 and later crash

Here's the carnage at the beginning of Race 2. I actually got hit from behind in 5. Fortunately, it didn't screw anything up except I'll need a new bumper. I also included a crash later in the race in the hairpin. It never ceases to amaze me how many people try VERY low percentage stuff...

Love the data logger display, what brand is it? Also, those alternating brake LED lights, now that is a touch. Glad I wasn't in that race....brutal. But nothing a wad of cash won't fix!

Martin, that's Racelogic's Video VBOX. Comes in a Pro (4-camera, up to 32-channel) or a Lite (2-camera, up to 8-channel) version.

Auto track mapping, design your own gauges, data is rendered real-time on the video (comes off the SD card looking this way).

I've sold about 45 of them in the last year and while initially not quite ready for prime-time, the software is now quite good.

Great vid, btw!

Correct, Video V-Box Lite. It's taken a LOT of development work in the past year but, as Peter said, it's pretty good now. They don't have a HD setup yet and there are some items I would like to display but they just don't have the CAN BUS mapping yet. I will say though, in all the racing stuff I've bought over the years, they have the best customer service.

Actually, the first race was incident free and really good racing. The black car at the start in the second race was Scott Tucker.... IMSA is just like PCA or any other racing series.... you always know on the grid who you have to watch out for...
