Think the only decent vids are jp's!

Joe - got my gopro HD 3 Black ready for videos

hard_corejoeboy · 20th June 2013, 09:59

Wicked. Ive only got a 2 but they are all great! Where you mounting it? Please don't do it on the cage as we want to see the track.

jpsaxo · 20th June 2013, 10:30

Ill test it out in different positions, the HD3 Black has got the wifi built in so i can view what the camera's taking on my iphone

hard_corejoeboy · 20th June 2013, 10:32

A useful feature!

jpsaxo · 22nd June 2013, 16:39

Certainly is Joe, can use the app or the remote that comes with it to control the gopro too, so things like taking pictures, switching between video/camera mode etc etc.

Certainly very useful. The Hero3 is a fair bit smaller than the older ones too + the higher quality video of course - now all we need is 4k TV's to come down in price so the gopro can be used to its full potential lol

hard_corejoeboy · 23rd June 2013, 20:10

Tbh I think I'll be happy with mine for the next 50 years!

sexy_gt · 23rd June 2013, 21:33

Yet to use my gopro3black... looking forward to it though

hard_corejoeboy · 23rd June 2013, 21:42

Oh good some decent vids that don't take 100 years to load in hq on youtube.

About time

sexy_gt · 23rd June 2013, 22:04

I'm looking forward to seeing some view from the ring.

jpsaxo · 24th June 2013, 13:03

Stew - you should come the ring with us next year

sexy_gt · 24th June 2013, 14:10

Should but won't lol

jpsaxo · 25th June 2013, 14:07

Not something that takes your fancy stew?

sexy_gt · 25th June 2013, 15:32

Plenty decent tracks in UK. Was talking to keV about it last Friday. I'd do spa if going abroad rather than nur.

hard_corejoeboy · 25th June 2013, 16:12

Nothing in the uk comes anywhere close to Nurburgring.
If it did then people wouldn't make the journey. Its immense.

AlexB^p · 25th June 2013, 17:19

But its his choice not to go

Literally thank you.

And you clearly have not been to Cadwell which is 20minutes from home joe

AlexB^p · 25th June 2013, 19:29

I understand the ring hype
But i can see why other guys would rather just do a GOOD uk track
Theres a fair few easy ones about but for me the ring is less about the track more about the weekend
If the guts i do with did spa or even sonething like a weekend in scotland at knockhill id still do haha
It to me isnt a track its a holiday the track is second in the weekend

Where as people who only want to focus on the driving part its a hell of a long way to go just to hoon around like you can on a uk track

jpsaxo · 25th June 2013, 20:44

True about the trip Alex... It would be boring to drive over on your own (hence me organising the trip for us all)

But also agree with Joe... No UK track comes even close to the ring - Caldwell included - I don't know who named it the mini nurburgring because they are an idiot, it's a 5/10 when you compare it to the ring - yes Stew the ring really is that good compared to any UK track I've ever done anyway!!

I've always wanted to do Spa but can't really comment there, it looks epic on TV....

hard_corejoeboy · 25th June 2013, 21:33

Its just the fact that my favourite uk circuit bedford the first time I was there even though I didn't know the lines very well I was going well.

Nurburgring after houra practicing on forza (okay months) millions of youtube clips later and I was still wetting myself all the way round in a 1.0 micra with 4 of us in it. Probably doing 80mph max.
