Default And you only thought you were fast...

I was doing some searching for using my new lap timer with the Go Pro 2 I got for Xmas and wondered on over to the Go Pro forum. Found this video over there. I did some track sessions yesterday and had a good day...quite proud of myself...until I saw this:

I went back to look at my vid and I swear after looking at those two back to back <sarcasm>I could run faster than I drove </sarcasm>.

I got to go to the F1 in Austin this November. I can't imagine what those sound like in person.

I always get distracted by the holicopters flying above the track when I am racing...

Heh. He's pretty darn smooth too, considering the HP/wt of that car. Mad fast.

Think about how much speed + power it takes to break the rear tires loose with the downforce these cars generate (lap time 00:19).

While I'll never be able to afford going to the F1 race in Austin, I'd LOVE to see the V8 Supercars run there!

Great video; thanks for sharing!

Have a good one,
Mike
