    Of course you turn up. You never know what could happen!
    I have limited practise time but i still use all the free time i have. Gotta work hard to stay ahead of the other 15 ultra-quick guys!

    Any chance you do a vid from the bumper cam? Thats the view I race with, gives me more of a 'feel' of the cars movement on the track.

    Yeah sure. Will try to get it up later.

    Question to All: What views do you use so i can put one lap of each in the videos each week? Cockpit - Roof - Bumper - Anything else?

    It's alright lol I have plenty of time to practice but I'd rather do other things and means I'm less disappointed if something happens during a Sunday race haha

    I'll try but it's so distracting to race with so my Telemetry laps often end up much slower and i struggle to turn in correctly to an Apex with flashing orange circles in the way. I'll do my best though...

    start charging by the hour Beau.....will be a multi in no time !!!! (
    am pretty certain there are a few others that will give you some great racing at a sec a lap slower....i will be watching you drive away, about 2 secs a lap slower !

    @Beau_Albert any chance you could let us know the sector times each week? Doesn't have to be in the video. Just good to know where to focus.

    Thanks for this haven't had the problem since using these settings. Found it a little heavy for my liking but made a couple of small changes to lighten it up and its great. Thanks again

    Yeah i can, no drama. Not sure if i'll have it to you when the video uploads tonight, BUT i'll get the Splits in the thread asap. Sadly when i use Telemetry it doesn't show sector splits or even current lap :(

    Nope, it's my preference too :thumbsup:

    Here ya'll go!! Tell me if this style of video is much easier to gather information from or not. If it isn't, then don't stress because the Cockpit Lap, Bonnet Cam, Roof Cam and Bumper Cam are all being uploaded right now too. (Without commentary)
    Also i have fixed my dodgy sounding Mic from last week! Cheers for the support on the last video guys :)

    That video was great personally took me from a Pb of 1:47.6 to a 1:45.998. Makes such a difference in slow motion with telemetry to really understand when to pickup throttle.

    OK, not possible to brake after or even at the ambulance down the main straight. Maybe if you deploy a massive parachute,or suddenly encounter a gigantic head wind just as you hit the brakes. Have no idea how you do it.:thumbsdown:

    Check the Alternate camera angles video for a different view.
    My Field of View in Cockpit Cam makes things look closer than they really are.
    Makes life easier on me but harder to get info from; which isn't my intention of it. I'm just making sure i'm used to my FOV and cockpit cam before my transition to iRacing.
