Track/Autox Video Project
After four years of taking video of my track days and autocross, I was finally able to do what I had been hoping for, something better. This is a lap around my local track called Sandia Motorsports Park.

Yes I need to figure out a better way to put the camera on me driving better but overall I got the effect I wanted. Telemetry overlaid on a clear view of the line, track map with live position, and a camera showing the driver's inputs. Immediately I discovered I am not looking ahead when concentrating on a hot lap - I don't suffer this when I autocross. The data shows me plenty as well and I will be able to do the same with output from another car with a G2X with camcorder and then run the videos side by side synced at the start line. Worst case, this is great entertainment for me. Best case it improves my driving and maybe helps others that drive the same track.
