I just booked two laps at the ring in a race prepped gt86 for my trip to europe in april! Who's got a go pro they don't mind giving up for a few weeks? If i break, i buy.

You're going to have a blast.

I did 6 laps in Summer 2014 with RSR-Nurburg rental and it was awesome.

Lots of traffic for us, so you have to really pay attention to your mirrors to judge passes.

Who are you renting through?

I have something like a go pro, not cheap but not as expensive lol. Let me see if the Whiff is cool with the idea.

The guys at RSR nurburg told us that we might get stopped by the track marshals if we had a camera in the car so we elected not to mount them to the windows.

Wait did they say anything about mounting inside the car?

Yeah, I think you'll get hassled for outside mounting for sure, and they said inside mounting *might* get attention. We didn't want any hassle so we just skipped the cameras.

I went with the only company that has the 86 available. It was crazy expensive, but this will most likely the only time i will get to take a twin out on the ring.

Rent4Ring?

We initially had a rental there but ... long story short, we didn't end up using them. They said they wouldn't rent us an 86 since we were first timers.

I am exceedingly jealous btw...
