I think the fact that there are many fact corners you need to throw your car into (and in most cases over a crest!) makes it easily the hardest track I've been to out of the three 😓. I'll definitely need to come back a couple of times to really learn how to push around here.
@@denniscfeng Yeah, totally agree with that. The other thing that I think makes it hard is that there are very few visual references which makes it hard to judge braking and turn-in points.
@@TiemSong Hey! I use the RaceChrono pro app on my phone. It records video and telemetry on my phone that's mounted on the window. I've also paired it with a RaceBox mini GPS receiver, and an OBDLink MX+ to get my pedal inputs and other channels. I basically copied the setup from here ua-cam.com/video/jFo6eSj_rzA/v-deo.html. I'm seperately using a GoPro on a mount that attaches to the passenger headrest stalk and syncing the two views with video editing before rendering the telemetry with RaceRender.
@@denniscfeng Thanks! That's a lot to digest. For the GoPro mount, which headrest stalk do you like? Also, did you buy or make your race numbers? Sorry for the numerous questions; starting prep for track days.
@@TiemSong no worries! FWIW I got started without the Racebox and obd link, I just used the app by itself on the windshield phone mount and it was good enough to track laptimes using the phone's GPS. For the headrest mount I just picked a random one on Amazon a.co/d/fX5VUmo. For the track numbers SpeedSF sells them at the track day if you don't want to use tape.
Nice driving for your first time there! So how did you like Thunderhill compared to Laguna and Sonoma?

What setup do you use for your multiple camera + telemetry collection?
