the swan song of flying lizards, its their last race as a Porsche factory development team. Great video!

[@racingislife15]

+nimrod74741 exhaust note and sound of a gt3 RSR back when they sounded good..?

[@Treetop64]

The suspension view. Need more of that, thank you...

[@emilyrodriguez5856]

Hopi dances

[@117HALOREACH]

Lol

[@centralintelligenceagency9003]

There is no sound on this planet I like more than the song of a working transmission.

[@OutLaWClone]

the ground shot that starts at 2:05 is sick. I love the physics part about racing and that shot captures a small part of it.

[@tamtrily]

Back when Flying Lizards was Flying Lizards. I was there watching live during their epic Laguna seca crash finish 👍

[@d.eadams940]

NO MUSIC!!!! I LOVE IT!!Gear heads wanna hear the motor! kudos!

[@GenCarSpotting]

Road Atlanta is one of my favorite all time raceways! Great vid!

[@luissolis5652]

Sounds like music to my ears. ! Love it !

[@JunglemanAirsoft]

Great video to not only show the beast quality of 2.7k in the new Gopro, but also the improved sound quality and wind noise reduction. Thanks for showing this

[@Ezkie]

Damn, the driver is amazing. And this 911 is great as well.

[@C_S_funhouse]

I wish they could do the entire video with the camera feed that's on top of the car.

[@Swansen03]

just to expand on this a little and if anyone is interested, in most race applications the gears in the transmissions are straight cut, and because of the way the gears contact each other they make a lot of noise. In consumer vehicles the gears are helical. If you've ever driven a manual car before, the majority of reverse gears are straight cut, and you'll hear this noise.

[@erorcustoms]

want more videos like this ! it's amazing

[@Moxtrox]

I love the sound of a straight-cut transmission.

[@Flu_Tang_Clan]

The first race car I ever heard/saw in person was a 996 GT3 at the 2000 Petit Le Mans. It was a religious experience.

[@Sleor]

Aaaah the sweet sound of straight cut gears !!!

[@spadekinglively]

love the sound of that car so bad ass good job!!

[@Desmodromic916]

Best video so far.

[@GoMoe24]

I love the wave when hes passing the other car.

[@bikenpreusse]

Faszination pur! Super Video!

[@thetaylorsnapp]

The audio quality on these HERO3's are so much better than the HERO2's!

[@jhunt252006]

Such an awesome view of Road Atlanta. I was there for that entire event. I lost count of the GoPro's. To bad the GoPro trailer wasn't there.

[@FelixDoWizardry]

Thank you! It was AWESOME!

[@AnticGamingHUB]

i could watch this all day>

[@ThePetersummit]

Yeah! Great video!

[@HawkeyeSTi]

I love the sound of straight cut gears :D

[@colj001]

beautiful sound ay

[@appelcrumbleandfisch]

i looove the setup where you can see the brakes from the back !

[@RedSpectrumPictures]

It actually does go up to 4k, some videos allow you to view the video on 'original' resolution, which means it is more than 1080p

[@uziyah]

Awesome! Thanks for the ride. :-)

[@JavittoRC]

I love the sound of that gearbox...

[@TheStigsTwin]

Look how beautifully clean the suspension is. 1:41

[@BeastMR2]

I know it's easier said than done, but that looks like so much fun.

[@UnkaD013]

This is how true racing movies should be! Just like Steve McQueen's Le Mans masterpiece. Real footage of real racing with no CGI nonsense or crappy pop music.

[@nacokomulogin]

1:41 my favourite camera

[@Arcturus95]

GT2 and LMP1 multi class pactice session.

[@sashaman1234]

These cars race in classes - together. Its pretty much the GT cars (Porsches, Ferraris, BMW's, etc) that race against each other, while at the same time the purpose-built alien-looking race cars (LMP cars) have their own battles - all of this is happening on the same track all at once. This is a practice session anyway, which is more for testing out tires and whatnot, not about overtaking. Flying Lizard has a great ALMS history, i wouldn't worry about how many cars they can pass in practice.

[@micro-x2.018]

nice sound.....

[@RyanJoy12]

This looks incredible on Apple TV :)

[@AdamRStovicek]

Between the sounds and the angles, that was frickin' sexy.

[@1dayebitch]

Love the finger!

[@REMROB]

Love the new Hero 3 Black! I use it on ALL my action Super Car Vids!

[@Jscar45]

Jorg is a beast!

[@NeilCaulfield]

the hero 3 sounds a hell of a lot better than the first 2 cameras. I had a 2, and ended up getting a 3 when the 2 got lost with my model aircraft. Whatever they changed on the 3 though, it sounds unbelievable

[@experimentboyTV]

Does anybody here have a 2.7k monitor...?

[@u_fpv]

maintenant oui j'espere que tu vas avec tt ce qui est dis sur toi

[@Spork123able]

the high pitched wining noise is not a turbo, it is the transmission gears

[@NoMoStatic]

3:00 great shot... epic angle!

[@IMmoreRANDOMthanYOU]

It's a Le Mans race. There are two different classes running on the track at the same time. It's pretty cool, look it up.

[@yeagemk]

Fuck music, When I want to get amped up for a workout, I listen to the sound of this Porsche. Gets my adrenaline JACKED UP!

[@iiDangerCloseBK]

They have multiple cameras inside the car. They have the ones for the live feed that they use on television and also cameras for the team. Then they have GoPros mainly because of sponsors.

[@moskitoss13]

thank you that was a brilliant answer

[@lsi624]

Good thing the GoPro camera's work in these cars. More than I can say for all the Hero3 owners out their experiencing crashing and freezing !!...Way to go GoPro...Denial Mode off (on)

[@Spencer_Mansion]

this needs to get to racing sim developers as an example of how it should feel to really drive a car like this!

[@austeyr3]

yeah i noticed that all the sound was from inside the cabin. but for a gopro it picks it up very well. also i just noticed.. if you look at 1:44 you can see the onboard Gopro facing forwards. (top left on the roll bar) you can see it has no external mic.

[@shazzbazz740]

Higher resolution (2.7K in this case) scaled down to 1080p means more detail/sharpness than just a regular 1080p shot

[@MrTheMrhappy]

the sound of straight cut gears

[@xplicitlyrix187]

the one in the back, left corner is- look at 1:00 (its attached where the white roll bars are).. the one in front is hard to make out but most likely is there

[@luketansell]

In the 'GoPro' context, 2.7K relates to the shooting quality. The new Hero 3 cameras shoot in 2.7K, 4K, and more. Simple terms: 2.7K=2700p 4K=4000p

[@unityelt]

Do they use the gopro suction cup for this races? Im afraid to go out on the freeway with mine out haha. How much can i trust my suction cup?

[@oldwortex5818]

+unityelt - original go-pro suction > 100% safe. China replica - 0% safety. Put a duck tape over it and drill a hole and sheet metal screw. Still will loose it. triple suction cup on amazon for 50usd.

[@unityelt]

+Laszlo Makrai yeah this is an old comment haha. I bouth the original go pro suction mount us good uo to 150 mph.

[@Ecmdrw5]

Man I miss Bergmeister and the Flying Lizards.

[@s70driver2005]

it depends on what im doing but when its dry i use the non-waterproof door. i just have 1st gen GoPro so it could also be that!

[@craig265]

Thanks xxx

[@Dillsy944]

cool to see a paddle car with a clutch, especially a car like that.

[@markwalker3554]

nice got paddle shifters i bet that feels pretty comfortably driving,ive never used them before but want to

[@bnercksn]

I think it's actually Jorg Bergmeister driving. They do have very similar helmets but pat long is a bit shorter. Both are still very, very good drivers

[@dcrocks251]

thanks for the answer!

[@fsxaviator]

1080p is the highest KZbin can support.

[@Purepromedia]

It doesn't matter. Cropping it down will only improve quality for those that have 1080P+ monitors eg: 2560x1440, or 2880x1800 on the retina MBP

[@Benelech]

I'm pretty sure that's the thing on the ceiling to the left of those LEDs.

[@TommyHarrington4]

the sound was most likely recorded seperately, to be honest, by a high quaility recorder, at the end of the video, with the suspension shot, is the real sound quality

[@ritter1808]

And I was at this race- HD in person.

[@ajcolgate99]

ROAD ATLANTA!!!

[@th3forgott3n]

dude imagine being the driver of one of these... this is awesome.

[@NickKautz]

For a pro it's normal because they do it everyday. Their mind will even wander and think about what to get at the grocery store.

[@williamhenley9090]

Sick!

[@spitboy66]

oke i know now really sure i am gonna buy the black edition !

[@ww3fugitive]

It's the gearbox actually, this car is naturally aspirated. There's the whine because of the way the gears are cut.

[@800Mathieu1]

yes ! top left corner ;)

[@CRod401]

This isn't Rolex (Grand-Am), it's American Le Mans. But yeah, both series follow the same multi-class system. The cars that were passing the Flying Lizard here were in the LMP classes and if you watch Grand-Am or ALMS for no more than 10 minutes, you learn that the prototype classes lap the GT guys a lot.

[@jman94]

the driver is pat long (gt class) and this is testing, you don't always need to go the fastest in testing.

[@hunterh3683]

The engine sounds sweet

[@dave_R_GR]

Shot 100% on the HERO3® There is minimum 1 Hero2, you can see one on the left at the roll-cage when they show the driver...

[@kirby652]

I think even though its resized(most likely during editing) you still have that quality resolution that the camera picked up while it was shooting @2.7K. If that makes sense.

[@nsig97]

@spadekinglively this is a multi class race, to where there are, in racing class, R3 and R1 race cars both sharing the track, R1 being the low, more formula looking cars. Plus, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this Road Atlanta?

[@Konvinced89]

Probably, they could even have professional mics in the car to pick up more detail and make it sound better. The camera still provides video, though, so it isn't quite false advertising. I would give a lot to be at one of these races with my dad and brother.

[@austeyr3]

Impressed by the sound.. is this stock sound recording.. or some fancy external microphone?

[@TheJuggernauter]

My life would be made if i got to drive one of those cars..even if it was just for one lap!

[@Speedlov]

First advertise on youtube I've liked to watch..

[@dugald14]

You're watching timetraveled replay footage from the Xbox720 game Forza 5; Brought to by the magic of GoPro.

[@niklastostar]

read the description, "Shot primarily at 2.7K/30fps.", and this is actually a 1,000 mile (1,600 km) or 10 hour (which ever comes first) race. Hahah :P

[@gpz1100z1]

AWESOME

[@twenty3willie]

Dat straight cut gearbox..

[@FelixDoWizardry]

Not 100% sure, but 1080p is the KZbin's maximum quality allowed. Videos that are bigger will be resized to fit this maximum resolution!

[@pngmangitasol]

you can upload videos in 2K and 4K to KZbin. for some reason though, GoPro decided not to

[@Jay91150]

Someone from FLM care to explain why the display sitting on top of the center of the dash is flopping around/loose? Looks like a rear view camera display but you have a traditional mirror in the usual position. Also: You show that Matmut driver who's number one Jörg :)

[@kniefi]

so it`s well in the specs! 2,7k actually IS 2716 x 1524 if it is 16:9 or 2716 x 1440 if it is 17:9 ... so there are some monitors out there which can at least show all lines ;-) since 2560 x 1600 is quiete common these days...

[@taidokazu]

Wait what? This is an N/A car. No Porsche GT turbos in ALMS since early 2001 at the latest and that was GTS or old GT1. The whine is just the transmission. You are correct though the turbos back in the day sounded good. I am not that good at porsches but I believe think this is a 4.0 flat-6. I am only saying this because if it was a porsche turbo it would sound pretty awesome.

[@SteezMonsta2]

oh i know one of the pit guys for the flying lizards

[@scrappycoco2494]

I like how there isn't any dubstep that usually comes with GoPro videos! >:(

[@goshpar]

sound is much better then on goPro 2, what type of grip under car?

[@ImAman555]

i cant even imagine
