sandstorm Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 Tink, actually, now that I think, we probably wouldn't mind seeing a dash-cam of what it looks like to drive the 'Ring, AND a dash cam of what it -feels- like to drive the 'Ring, i.e. one recording your mug. And then mashed side-by-side for our entertainment. Link to post Share on other sites
Tinkerton Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 I'll see what I can do. I've only got one cam though, so unless someone wants to lend me one, you'll have to make do with the vids being from two different runs. Presumably the 'mug shot' should be the very first time I drive it, for maximum "OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD!"? Link to post Share on other sites
shmook Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 Tink and stunt, pretty sure I need those cars. Had no idea they put the v10 in the phaeton. Tink, I've got a brand new ebay special dash cam you can borrow if you want? It was an 11 quid job, supposed to be HD though but I've not got round to setting it up. If you want it for couple of weeks, I can stick it in the post? Got a memory card with it too, also new. Talk to me Link to post Share on other sites
Cannonfodder80 Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 Something tells me an old VW shedding parts won't be the strangest thing seen on the 'ring https://youtu.be/43FZqZEUKK4 Link to post Share on other sites
shmook Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 Was it here I saw those vans in another post? Put some lane markings and cats eyes on the track and you could easily think it was the M6... While it's awesome and all that, is the nurburgring always that busy? How can you put in a decent lap with all that traffic? Or can you pay for private time/quiet times etc?

Cannonfodder80 Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 I get the feeling it looks busy as the slower vans etc were creating bottlenecks where traffic would build up And the editing will have removed the many minutes of empty track Personally I would have loved to have seen the look on the bloke's face as he was overtaken on the outside by a DHL transit van Link to post Share on other sites

Tinkerton Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 Shmook cheers for the offer. Do you know if it does time lapse? My one doesn't and I've got a hankering for a timelapse of the whole trip now... Link to post Share on other sites
shmook Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 Nar, sorry. It was 11 quid delivered! It probably doesn't even do camera! If you want it for another point of view though, feel free. If I was doing something like that I'd have cameras all over the shop - in grilles/bumpers, front and rear, sides, inside, facing the driver - everybloodywhere! Link to post Share on other sites

Tinkerton Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 Found that with sticky pads I can put my dash cam in the speedo cowling, giving a great face shot (fnar) while driving. Who needs to see the speedo anyway? Link to post Share on other sites

amateurstuntman Posted May 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 What I suggest you do with the AS-30 is to stick it to the inside of the passenger window. It has a really wide field of view, I use it in a truck and it can get the left wing mirror and the entire windscreen in. You could also stick it to the windscreen. I don't recommend the back window. It will make it look like the car is 40 feet long. Link to post Share on other sites
