Nice video!

No signal to pass required if you are in a GT3? We would be black flagged for that up here....guess they can say it was an avoidance manouver

In this group, we were running under "point by passing anywhere on the track" rules and I had given the GT-3 car the point by to my left in the middle of Turn 2. Everyone played nice and kept to their line so there wasn't any reason for a black flag.

nice video, but I think it's worth investing in a GoPro HD video cam
Not only will the picture be much "sharper" but the wide angle makes such a difference

I hear you. The original video is actually very clear. The quality goes down when I edit the video (to remove 25 mins of somewhat boring lapping). Then when I re-encode the video it turns to slop.

Right now I'm using Pinnicle Studio 11 and rendering to Windows format, medium quality NTSC and the file size for a 10 min clip is around 40MB. If I render to high quality, the file size explodes to >100MB.

Let me try re-encoding it to high quality and see what happens. If you or anyone else have any other suggestions, I'd appreciate them.
