Taking my GT86 "Wingo" and a GoPro3 Videocam for a Sunday Drive - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Killerbee · 12-31-2012, 12:49 PM

I was playing around a bit with my GoPro3 Videocam I've got for christmas and thought I could share the Vid with you guys.

Sound is shit, I know, have to figure out how to get this better next time. I'm playing around with the Vid Cam to get used to it and make a better driving vid in the summer when the alp pass roads are open again.

I'd be interessted what view position you guys prefer, I'm not sure yet which one I like more (or should be tried out)

Here's the link

And on a side note before anyone starts: All driving in the Video is street legal, no speedlimits or any other law has been broken.

Compared to US lanes, yes. Still, enough space to cross a car, the GoPro Lens does make it look narrower than it actually is.

We need to hook up this summer. Going on a European round trip in late July. :-)

Awesome.
We start the trip the 12th of july from south eastern Norway, and making a stop in Normandie and possibly driving along the riviera and northern Italy throught he alps back north. I'm guessing we'll be in the alps around july 20th.

Will know more as we plan the trip in more detail. So far it's me in teh GT86, a friend in his NSX and my brother-in-law in his RX-7. Working on a few others.

Nice video and gorgeous driving roads. I always like the view from the center top of the windshield looking down over the hood. It might be cool to take a few views, maybe one from the roof looking down, one from the side like you did, one from directly behind the front wheel, and one from the foot well to see your pedal work. Then interchange each view and mash it up with some music

Sounds good. I'd recommend this little tour around the alps http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=13130
You can either start it comming from north or south, as it is around the Gotthard pass.
However, I strongly recommend doing this NOT on a Weekend, as there will be alot of RV's and sunday drivers around on Weekends
