Guys,

Leaving tomorrow and mounted my camera in my grill but its not as covert as i would've liked. Any dea how tough they are and if they will rip my nuts off for it. It you filmed how did you go about it?

Cheers

 

My friend stuck his on his head rest and posistioned it and then put the head rest between my legs and as we took off, I slotted it into the seat.

my mate filmed his laps on a mobile from in the car never been myself so dunno how strict they are but there is plenty that film it and post on youtube personally i can't see why they'd have a problem with it

 

Ours was in the grill - we had an inverter linked to a dvd recorder in the boot..!

You could post a pic - i expect you're a bit paranoid about it to be honest...?

Big suctioncup mount on the windscreen for me (same as what the likes of Top Gear use) - never had an issue with using it multiple times in different cars when there

 

I have mine mounted in the grill and a HDVR in the glove box recording the video.

I know if you get caught you get banned for the day, twice and its a band for the season.

Two pics

 

They will never see that!

 

They never saw mine on the bike or the car, saw loads of people being stopped for having dash or tank fitted jobs.


got some awesome footage of RS09 TOY focus Rs chasing a GT3!!!

 

If anyone spots it just tell them its a garage door remote sensor.

 

Good shout!

They will never notice mate, dont worry about it...

I saw a vid a couple years back. And as the car pulls up to the barrier. The marshall is looking straight into the camera. And the driver isn't allowed through. Basically if they look they'll see it. And I dunno how easy it is to remove that camera if they make you.

Wish I could find it now. IIRC it was on a E30 BMW.

Best system I've seen used is to attach it to the sunvisor with cable ties then flip it down once on the track. And back up when in the car park. Like this,

Obviously if you do it better than that you'll get a good view of the road. Not just one side. Maybe pack it out on one side with some cardboard. I'd also sugest filming something more interesting than traffic lights in Guildford

 

They'll spot that a mile off. IMO

 

Couldn't you have put it in a fog light hole?

 

I guy that I know and who took me for a pax lap has his hidden in the centre of his rollcage!! it is in the x over behind the seats and you remove a cover and press the remote..genius!!

we used a bullet cam in the rear spoiler, and just hand helds by passenger. Did mount bullet cam under front spoiler but never actually used it

 

Can you not temporarily slot the 'missing' bit of grill back in? Or do they check the car at the start of the track?

 

The Marshalls are at the barrier. And you can't easily stop between the barrier and entering the track. Or even in the first 100m or so down the track. I get the impression they check UK cars more stringently too.

 

tbh i dont think they will spot that its not a obvious as someone holding a camcorder or brackets inside or outside etc

I just used my iphone mounted to the windscreen.

 

Theres a bloke who i went for a lap in that had hes hidden where the interior light went in the roof lining and had the actual camera part in the door cards,,,,, was fucking class and worked well

Someone we went with this year had ET in the back seat just before he went for a lap,,,,,,,, anyone who went will get what i mean pmsl

 

I just filmed with my mobile in a Halfords holder that was spun round to face out the window.... One marshal asked if it was for filming but was happy when I just said it was my phone!

My experience at the N.Ring would suggest that I wouldn't expect them to notice the tiny cut out from the front mesh/grill on the focus.

It would have to be far more obvious or you are very unlucky.

It is not like scrutineering, they just tend to glance at the cars as they go through the grates making them money.

No problem with that grill camera, only if you enter the track with a camera in your (passenger) hand they will take it and give it back after your lap, so be smart and get the camera after the barrier

 

Got through alright even though one looked right at it and winked! Top weekend and managed a 9.28! which was pretty good for first time and first ever track day. ran out of space on the DVR so couldn't get it which was a shame.

 

why don't the want camera's there?

 

Encourages racing i think, its just a normal German toll road really, says on the barriers that normal German traffic rules apply. Try mentioning that to a GT3RS owner when hes up your trumpet at full chat!

 

i know its slightly off topic and theres probably already a thread on here telling me this but can somebody tell me the average price of a run to the ring? i mean like price of laps, hotels etc, i know you can't take fuel and stuff into the equation coz it depends where your going from, but a ballpark figure would be muchly appreciated

cheers

 

allow £500 for a long weekend.

 

£700 it cost me, all in fuel the lot. I would've spent double that if i had to!

 

footage or it didn't happen

 

i usually spend £1000 for 2 people, 1 car, 4 nights, but my car is crap on juice

 

I'll get one up but it was only my third lap. Just uploading to photobucket.

 

3rd lap with mate on board. not the fastest i did but one of the better recordered ones.

 

not bad attal mate glad you enjoyed it.

 

awesome Good to see you going alot quicker than faster cars.

 

Some ones got to show them how its done! to be honest the car was excellent, top dollar and couldn't fault it at all. First track day ever and the never really drove the ring on games so think i did alright. Still mate did a 8.38 in the M5, Ring taxi was getting pissed as she couldn't shake us. shame the camera ran out of battery for that.

 

mate i would HONESTLY take a grand and come back with change rather than take 500 quid and starve on the way back driving at 52mph
