TT's lap on the Nordschleife

[dodo]

Who wants TT to film one of his laps around the famous northloop of the nürburgring this friday!?

He's getting a videocamera from me but somehow he isn't really interested...
The ride of his lifetime!

'cmon, motivate him!!
He cannot say no if everyone cheers him up!

[TT]

You know I could easily make this topic disappear dude? :è

Now I just hope you will forget your video camera :prr:

LOL, we already talked about this, we ended up with a naked TT doing a 3 hours lap in a lightweight A4 with no passenger seats and duck tape all around the car ... and then the tourist bus will overtake him
That's for your "get a life"

BTW I'd also like him to film his lap

rofl, lol and lmao!!!

I can only see 2 problems with this..

you're not allowed to video laps of the ring, so if the marshalls see you have a camera setup they won't allow you on the track until its been removed

mounting the camera solidly in a position where it cant be seen by the marshalls.. bumpy hand held cam videos usually suck


the only real solution is to use bullet cams mounted stealthily and a camcorder hidden in a glovebox or somewhere else out of sight

Sure!

Well I dont' have a mount since I am not a video guy like I always say.
So yes, it will be in my friend's hands (and hidden while entering the track for obvious reasons.. if a NS marshall is reading this, it is obviously a joke )
And that was my main concern while talking about it with dodo.. I already don't like vids that much.. and if the video is crappy because it shakes a lot, even less..
But then I realized that, no matter how crappy, you maybe NEED to have on tape your first NS experience...

Now of course I am a bit stressed about marshalls along the track who could easily see the camera and give a phone to the "paddocks", but not sure how paranoid they are about that matter...

well I think its just the guys who let you on to the track who would notice and do something about it.. I doubt any marshall around the track would even notice

anyway I can understand why you'd want a video of it .. and even a bumpy hand held vid is much better than nothing

Why are cameras forbidden again?

[TT]

The vids are forbidden to avoid ppl having on tape silly accidents or gore stuff I think.

BTW, I am trying to rent a C200 Kompressor actually since I got the A4 too many times already.. but I fear it will be once again the A4 because they only have two Mercedes in Switzerland (Europcar).. or maybe the new A6, which is seriously cool in the Avant form (2.4 engine though)..

still, not a fast car...

exactly..


anyway I guess you could duct tape the passenger to the seat to reduce the bumpy cam effect or something

[TT]

LOL the passenger has some pretty fit arms so I hope this will help but the duct tape idea sounds cool

[Joel]

On public days there are no marshalls to catch you with a camera, just the guys at the toll gate, and often a recovery truck half way around the track at Breidsheid.

You need to carry with you, in your pocket a suction cup mount and small camcorder.

Have both in your pockets/glovebox/under the seat/ in your pants.

As soon as you are out of sight of the marshalls (ie as you pass under the bridge) whip out your suction cup, clip the camera onto it, mount it to the windscreen and off you go

Being sure to only remove it after you pass under the gantry on Dottinger

Now - go practice your moves hehehe

Oh, anothey way is to have a camcorder in your jacket pocket, and have a helmet/bullet cam mounted to your hat/helmet... then just put it on and be off

I discard this poll, beacuse I'm not allowed to download the clip if he now will record it.

easy as that.
