Yes, I like to be able to use is when strapped in.

And Ive got two Go Pro on the rollbar: Forward and rearward.

TRAKCAR

That's nice. Never go to like GoPro and trying to keep it simple with just a clamp and I phone until VBOX HD arrives.

Nodrip

Well GoPro is quite simple when everything is setup!
Better image quality, wireless and cheaper too!

BUT, the batteries don't last long!
I'm also thinking about switching to VBOX HD2. I'm waiting for specs...

TRAKCAR

Nice helmet and gloves, very baller.

I had one, sound was ****, video was over exposed and it was always out of battery, I didn't even bother taking it out of the car when I sold it.

Still racing with VBox, waiting for the new model.
Between 2 DE cars Harry's is convenient to swap between cars.

I started to use the helmet recently and it was rather funny:

I could not see anything on the center console for instance: Had to turn my whole head just to do simple things that I before just turned my eyes to see. Wife laughed her a*s of: She thought I looked like a weird bird because of my head movements.
Going to be interesting to see how much I can see when I 'm strapped to the Hybrid system.

Next time I had a chewing gum in my mouth and put on the helmet: It presses so hard on my cheeks that I started to chew on my self I had to swallow the gum.

Then I got an itch on my nose... Could not reach nose.

I usually have a bottle of water that I have zip from when done a lap (Nürburgring) - have to rethink that.

On the good side is that I'm not sore in my neck from wearing the helmet.


Go Pro: I have them connected to powersupply as long as they are in the car. You need this frame mount for that:

TRAKCAR

Lol, my biggest gripe with full helmet, can't see center console or buckle myself in LOL.

I use the Stilo WRC helmet for DE and racing :-)

Go Pro, one day..

Kobalt

Preparing for the F1 in the weekend.

Just watched "Weekend of a champion" - what a great movie!

Kobalt

Going to meet some Rennlister at the Ring tomorrow. (10,11,12 June)

Got scared: The airline announced that might go on strike tomorrow. As it turned out they will do that in the evening and I'm traveling in the morning, phew!
If I'm lucky I can not leave the Eifel mountains beacause of strike. "Sorry honey, I can not come home..."

Anyhow: The weather forecast looks good!

Had planned to do a trackday on Monday but it was fully booked. 98% chance of rain makes me feel better about that.

TRAKCAR

^^ you didn't take the Audi transporter?

Kobalt

Nope - I'll do that at the end of June.
Unfortunately I broke the time belt->Not good.
We just towed the car to the guy who will replace the engine.

TRAKCAR

Ouch, but now you can put a built tunes motor in

Nodrip

There is SPA-Francorchamps and Magny-cours on the 13th, if you really want a trackday!
Also Hockenheim with pistenclub, but fully booked. Maybe they will give you a place if you have good relation with them...

Kobalt

SAS cancelled my flight back home.
Not too bad...

Going to checkout Chromium24 doing his track day here in Nürburg.

Parc ferme RCN

Back home after a long trip home, Thank you Scandinavian for all your support (ironic).
Time to battle SAS and insurance company to get some money back.

Anyway: Amazing days at the Ring. Wet, dry, dry-wet, wet again. Really wet. And dry.
Makes you concentrate.

it was a pleasure meeting you Rennlisters: Trakcar, Ms Trakcar, 24Chromium, Trebien and Nodrip.
And of course the rest of the Usual Suspects of the Nordschleife.


2 dozen McLarens attended 24Chromium's trackday.
(In my country we have saying: "That is not a dozen car" which translates to "That is a very unusual car". So seeing two dozen McLarens at once makes you smile... )
