Fun Track Day, Little Mishap

I don't know if it is possible, but I highly recommend mounting the camera behind the driver so you can see the hands better. You might not see as much track (or as clear), but it really helps in correcting mistakes or spotting them.

Definitely a good idea. I have to find a better way to mount the GoPro when I have a passenger. When there is no one in the passenger seat, I like to remove the headrest and put the suction cup on the little side window (see pic). It gives a perfect view of the track and full interior. With passenger...I haven't found a great spot yet.

That isn't bad at all, the rear view mirror gets in the way of my ghetto setup with a flip camera

Nice one.

I'm a decent driver, but definitely can have room for improving. It's that kind of thing that makes me want to do some drift days, so when I go to the track and that happens it's not such a scary experience. Could even be fun if you get good right

Glad you didn't damage the car.

wow.. good save. You're so lucky the cars behind you didn't hit you as they were right behind you!

Did you use GoPro in your first video? where did you mount it?

It doesn't do $hit, learn how to drive properly and it would never happen.

ya, drift guys can't drive and have no car control skill
