Hello All,
I just got back from my first track day in the "new" car (2005 Elise). I did the Hooked On Driving PDX at Thunderhill yesterday. Great instruction and great day. I learned so much and I was looking forward to looking at my GoPro videos to learn even more, but the videos are really difficult to see. The cab is too dark and so the track is very bright and almost impossible to see. I mounted the GoPro on the back window so I could see driving position and the track at the same time, but all I can see really is driving position. I adjusted the exposure and brightness al low as possible in iMovie (MacBookPro), but still not very good.

Any advice on the video quality? Any other program I could try or level adjustment? Next time advice? Should I mount it in a different place? I know if I took the top off the car and let light in, then it will be fine. I should try that next time.
Any advice on my driving technique would be welcome as well. Go easy on me, this was my first ever time on a tack and my second lap! Nahhh, go ahead and rip on me, I've got tough skin. I'm just happy I didn't run off the track. Going over the bypass was terrifying! I got used to it as the day went on, but man that it scary as hell...
Thanks,
John
