Links to in-car racing footage

I use a helmet camera from helmetcamera.com. I think this is a 480 line resolution bullet camera. I bought it back in early 2001 so it could be a 380 line. They have up to 560 line resolution. Originally, I mounted it on the side of my helmet and it gave a good driver's perspective. But now that that's been banned by the SCCA I mount it on the rollbar using a camera mount from the chase cam guys. I then run a line from the helmet camera to the camcorder mounted in the nose of my car.

I find this configuration to be a real pain and on several occasions I have ended up with no video for various reasons. I am seriously looking at designing my own fully enclosed in car system that mounts onto any formula car roll bar and where a crew member standing next to the car can just push a button to activate it.

Wish I knew if there was a real market for this sort of thing. Would make the effort of designing it worthwhile.

The next video I hope to post is Pacific Raceway in Seattle. I have to figure out what the static issue with the remote mike is. There was a lot of extra static in the Portland and Buttonwillow videos.

Here's the helmet camera website.

There's a good selection of track video at http://www.trackvision.net/gallery.php

I need to post my video from the CMP race last weekend, but there are plenty of others, including some very capable drivers.

Enjoy!

Some good quality sports racer racing videos from the UK - Brands, Spa and a very wet Snetterton - http://www.itratec.com/videogallery.html

Does anyone have a link to any in-car footage for Toronto?

I have just posted on Google another moderately interesting in-car video from last weekends regional race at Infineon Raceway (AKA Sears Point). I managed to take the pole position, then throw it away on the second lap, then crawl back up to second.

With all the FF/CF/FC/other race car drivers with video cameras in their cars out there I am a little surprised we are not seeing more postings here...

We put together a highlight video for our 2006 promotional package. I posted the video on the site. Go to http://www.tcrmotorsports.com and click on multimedia. It's the video on the top of the page....
Thanks!

So did you speed up the frame rate somehow in the highlight video?

Tom Duncan

Does anyone have, know of any incar footage from Road Atlanta ?
Thanks

Okay, so I condensed a year of in-car footage into a four-minute video with music. Clips include Laguna Seca, Sears Point (Infineon), and Thunderhill. It's a first attempt, so don't be too hard on me. My editing is about as good as my driving. :D

Very nice Jim

Great Job, excellant music.

yep very nice

Not really in-car, but worth posting anyway due to the racing elite participating..

Has anyone seen or know where to find this classic piece. ESPN was run it a few times but i'e never been able to hit record quick enuf. Cant find it on the internet.

I don't know if this will help but it was about a 15 minute explanation of the differences between a McLaren F1, a Porsche 928 and (I think) a Ford Escort. The demonstrration was at a circuit (Brands Hatch I believe) where the Escort takes off while Niki is talking about the cars. Then John Watson takes off in the Porsche about 30 seconds later. Niki is puttig on his helemt. He gets in the car, starts up and trakes ff in pursuit, crossing the finish line just in front of both of the other cars. Somewehat interesting. Check Youtube?

I always admired Derek Gardner's and Ken Tyrrell's willingness to try something very different to find an advantage in a very competitive time.

Viewing the videos requires downloading DivX, but some great period in car video.

It most likely too slow for most of you :D , but i figure what the heck.

I posted this single lap at Grattan Raceway outside of Grand Rapids, Michigan of an Evolution (built by Larry Campbell of brake rotor fame) Formula First on Youtube. The power lead shorted after one lap or we would have more laps to choose from. It's the outlap of the first session on 18 heat cycle tires (won the afternoon race on them).

Didn't see this one posted in the previous 4 pages. This is one fast lap to say the least! Compared to Tom Duncan's CF, this lap is in Fast Forward mode. Notice the driver lifts going into T9. The fast guys don't.

I was there for the F1 demo and standing at the top of the hill by the Corkscrew you could hear every shift around the track except turn 5. What a show an F1 race would be at Laguna Seca!:) Like someone once told me about their experience driving a CART car-"you get to the next corner a whole lot SOONER!" ;)

OK gang, I have been through this thread looking for recent in car from Mosport and if it s here I don't see it.
So, does anyone have any recent in car from Mosport to share ?

2007 VIR f2000 race#1

http://www.greisigermotorsports.com/...id=67&Itemid=1

Hey thanks for showing us that one of VIR! Whew looks like you really gotta get into a rhythm with one turn just leading into another.

The Pinto's he was racing at the start and the end seem to be just as fast? Maybe it was the 8" & 10" hard tires not sticking in the corner?

the pinto in front of him at the start (directly in front) was me!!!!! I got stuck behind chris burke who's shift linkage broke and left him coasting in nuetral as such i lost a bunch of positions on the start. I did manage to catch and re pass doug within a lap or two. The pinto vs. zetec power seems pretty close. However the 8&10s are at a major disadvantage. In testing i was all over the big tire cars and i was slow in practice due to handling problems.

The 8's and 10's blow but I was having a problem with my car as my backmarker team mate was almost as quick as me. One of the biggest non equalization problems if you watch the video is that I get killed coming out of oak tree onto the back straight with the spec gears. I was good in and even getting off but with the big tall spec first gear and spec running gear within the car, i got smoked by all the FC's out of that turn bad. I've got no go compared to the FC's from a slow start. :skull:

you reffering to me or one of teh fatboys? Cus i was quicker than you in the dry race!

You are in no way a back marker, I was speaking of Grandpa.

Here's a video taken from a old Caldwell D9 FF1600 at a SCCA time trial. It's my best laps but includes the warm up and cool off laps so it is a bit long. (1:49.255 best) It's my first effort with my new Samsung 1GB flash camcorder and included remote cam. http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...q=FF1600&hl=en

First time out....I was a little rusty!!!!

New Video titled "April 2007 - Test Day"

[SIZE=2]Camcorder video from left body work. Shows left front suspension and steering.
Run 4 was my best - 48.633. Front spring preload change helped understeer. 64 MPH at end of slalom according to Bill Cook but I'm not sure which run. Seems correct as my gears charts say my shift from 2 to 3 @ 6000 = 58 MPH which occured near slalom cone 4 in run 4. The first runs I let it hit the limiter way too long.

Here are my lastest efforts: If you've never tried a hillclimb I can't tell you how "interesting" they can be. Perhaps the videos will help. First is 6 time SCCA Solo National Champ George Bowland. The second is myself in a vintage Caldwell FF1600. http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...e+hillclimb%22 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3aJJoUMSQhw

Anybody know where I can get some in car video from Road Atlanta before the Dip was removed. {Don should have leveled the padock instead, don't you think?}
Thanks,

I will answer myself. This should get you to IMSA 85 at RA. I hope this works.

Finally got around to editing and posting my Thunderhill video. I ran out of memory, as I forgot to delete the old stuff off the memory card, so I only got the first few laps.
