What kind of cam is bumper cam and how is it fixed 8)


It's a GoPro Hero4 Black :D

I used the roll bar mount as a clamp and attached my GoPro the front tow eye. Then I added a zip tie as a sort of 'lanyard' that would suspend the GoPro in the event of a clamp failure.

It stayed put, solid as a rock :)

You can juuuuust see the camera in this pic

Wow just had a look on Ebay at the GoPro Hero4 Black :D

Not cheap - but I guess you get what you pay for. I was thinking 40-50 quid spend.

It was a bit of a treat :oops:

All the 'in car' shots on those videos are from the Mobius camera. Which lacks a few bells and whistles but as you can see gives great results!

With the roof down it's mainly atrocious wind noise. But with the roof up it's pretty good.

There is a really really good youtube review of the mobius here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7wmIyD1fM4M

Comes up clean for me. It's on a generic web-hosting site, so it's possible that one of the other users' pages has a virus, and your AV/web-filter flagged the whole domain.


The bulk of the information on that page is:

Shenstone & District Car Club are holding an “Intro to Sprinting” day at Curborough Sprint Course on Sunday April 17th 2016.
This event is aimed at anyone who has NEVER sprinted before, but has an interest in becoming involved.
Visitors will be guided through all aspects of a Sprint, including walking the course, paperwork, safety, car preparation etc.
They will then have the opportunity of driving the course in their own ROAD CAR (must be ROAD LEGAL in all respects) with an “Instructor” alongside.
The event begins at 09.30am on Sunday April 17th, last entry 12 Noon.
Refreshments will be available as normal (This is not free!!!!)
There is no booking involved, just turn up, but subject to demand there may be a small wait.
For more information E Mail our competitions Secretary John Williams

Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
Oversteer is when you hit the wall with the back of the car.
Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall.
Torque is how far you send the wall across the field once you've hit it.
