Chasing GT3’s at Oregon Raceway Park

Cooter42 · 10-08-2018, 01:07 AM

Had a blast running with GT3 and GT3RS yesterday. Was second track day in ZL1 1LE - still feeling the car out but super happy so far. Not a bad way to end track season in the northwest! ORP is a fantastic facility if you’re in the northwest...

Great job on the track - looks like you had a nice day.
Where are the microphone pickups for the PDRs located?
Why does the sound 'breakup / crackle? so much at higher speeds?

Great question. On tracks with mandatory “windows down” I wonder if its just better to record without audio...

Seems to be really hit or miss on audio quality of the PDR. Some cars seem way worse than others. Mine doesn't break up that bad at high speeds, but generally, audio/video quality of the PDR is pretty poor compared to what's out on the market.

I film with a GoPro and a mic with a dead cat for audio/video, and overlay the PDR footage on top for telemetry.

Wow, so many hills and blind turns at the top of the hills. I see that track is definitely one you better know well to run fast. I was just as Sebring Raceway this past weekend....very flat...and bumpy as hell. I think it was on lap two the green one gave you a point by right before the turn but then ran off...kinda odd.

Yeah - its a pretty complex track with no chance to catch your breath. The 100-110mph blind crest with a right kink will make you change your shorts! I'd love to run Sebring but its a long way from home... Good catch on the point by from the green GT3RS. Not sure what was going on there

That track looks awesome, 2.2 miles?

Cooter42 · 10-08-2018, 04:42 PM

yep, 2.2-2.3 or so. lucky to have it close to home.

Fun looking track. Porsche drivers need to learn what a point-by is.

THANK YOU! (I was thinking the exact same thing).

Looks like at one point he gets point by, but does not take it.. sometimes chase is more fun than clear track.

Very cool! Thanks for sharing... also try a Camera cover for the mic to help with sound quality
