Hey mate, this was pulled from a GO Pro 8. Download the video to my phone then import it into race chrono. Once you have it in race chrono you pic the laps and export with the overlay. It's a faff first few times but not to bad once you get your head round it.

I watched your vid too, looking decent! Nice lines in general and that was a tricky day conditions wide at Donny You have a lot to gain on the brakes, get that downshifting in as soon as you hit the brakes, makes a bigger difference. Also at Donny you can drive hard all the from the old hairpin up the hill, you can see me close up on you there quite a bit. I remember you in another session around Melbourne loop, I came past you and you thought about lining me up 😁 for a cut back. But I parked it on the Apex and picked it up on the gas on the exit 👍
@dan_the_drifter321 Жыл бұрын
@Lewis Brown that's good to hear Lewis, I will have to try and find that Melbourne loop clip, ha! Thanks for detailed reply. I agree totally the brakes are my weak point, was watching my videos back and thinking why am I braking this early towards the esses?! But always easier to criticise than actually do it lol. I've just been to Anglesey for a 2 dayer, although still not as good as I could be, made a big effort to brake late as possible and bang down the gears straight away, as you say, rear wheel was having a bit of a wiggle on towards the last corner so definitely felt I was getting on the brakes that bit harder. I will try and put a video up over the next week or so. If you see me again anywhere feel free to say hello. All the best.
