Video of the Noble Autocrossing. External shot high frame capture - LotusTalk

Randy Chase · 08-24-2009, 01:49 PM

Here is some high frame rate external video of my car. I will add some incar video later.

This video is Robert Puertas. Note how close he is to the cones on the slalom. The high frame rate helps to look at how the car is performing. One thing I see on this one is I still need to dial in a little more rear brake bias. And get the non-ghetto looking graphics done.

Are the brakes non-ABS? Cool video, with the slow motion.

jimmyhoffa · 08-24-2009, 02:13 PM

No ABS is right.

Randy Chase · 08-24-2009, 02:14 PM

Yes, and that point was really easy to lock up. I have adjustable brake bias and I will add a little more rear.

RichS · 08-24-2009, 07:00 PM

That was pretty cool! I love the way the slowed down video makes the inner and outer wheel look like they are going in opposite directions!

What frame rate is that?

Randy Chase · 08-24-2009, 08:15 PM

300fps

Mr. Know · 08-24-2009, 08:18 PM

meh...without sound it's just another camera trick...

Just kidding...that's amazing footage!

Overlander23 · 08-25-2009, 12:02 AM

OK, I'll bite. Type of camera? Resolution at 300fps?

I wonder if you would do that when there is a chance of driving on a damp or even wet track (lucky Californians

).

Great performance by Robert, by the way, and an amazing video.

Nevermind. Figured it out. Casio EX-F1 (512 x 384 @ 300fps), for anyone else curious.

What a great tool for setting up the car - cool video

Thanks. At the end of the runs, Robert and I were only separated by 3/100s of one second.

FANTASTIC, Randy!

Lusting for the Noble

Ohhhh! But I so love the Noble!!!! I want to drive her right now!!!
