Epic drifting (almost) and Great autox day videos

Z4dave · 06-04-2011, 10:28 PM

Had a great day at AAS (American Auto-X Series) met Merked M3

This was my 1st time using my gopro
Weather was horrible puddles everywhere.
we got 6 laps and after we did fun runs for about 45min and I tried to learn the art of drifting

I might get the hang of it one day.

Enjoy!

Fun in the wet!

Looks fun! I found the M3 to be relatively easy to control in these conditions.

Also, next time you drift, attach the camera to a fixed location. I just had lunch

Very cool,thanks for sharing!

You can turn on the spot metering on the go pro to focus on light outside the cockpit,when the cam is positioned near the rear of the interior.This way the second vid would have been more clear on what was going on outside

He bettered my E90 time by 1 second! Those 305 rear tires were really sick tho. Celebrity shot of me and my girl working the course @ 0:25 of second video, almost impossible to see though.

I remember seeing when you had "too much throttle response" and thought you were just gunning it to spin / warm up the tires haha.

Very easy to control, but I was definitely at my own limits of car control.
Yea next time Ill try a different location maybe passenger window, It was my 1st time using it so had no idea what it was going to look like.
