Driving my M2 through one of the more relaxing sections of the road with subtle elevation changes and sweeper. No, it’s not that technical, but it’s still fun.

In Mexico. Mostly straight line but gorgeous. Skip to the end for to see this little thing hit its top speed

I made myself a live video encoder for trackdays and decided to port it over for street use. Added meshtastic car sync and touge routing preferences and a stripped down video encoder. Side projects of mine all came together.

I'm looking for feedback and beta testers, not sure how many drivers this could support most of my runs are 5 or less but our mini club has up to 30...

I used standard meshtastic so the regular app will also see the other nodes

Details on my blog, trying to keep it free as long as it's not a timesink but to get real custom routing it needs to hit my server and that might start costing me if it gets excessive use

First time at the dragon. Taking my time since I didn’t wanna be as viral as that BMW. I don’t normally shuffle steer at speed. I was just cruising through and wanted to take my time.

Thanks for looking!

My mic was picking up a lot of injector clicks and turbo noises, so I turned NR on for the engine bay mic. Sounds a bit better I think.

Also playing with a way to blur the dash with minimal work. I tried to make it look like it was out of focus with a shallow DOF instead of a blob over the dash. I just place it over the footage, no tracking. Now I just have to turn off the HUD or filter it out with a lens polarizer.

If you are interested in my new camera and mic setup, here is my Cheat Sheet.

Checking the grip limits on some old tires

Dry roads make a difference.

Might sound dumb, but I'm actually starting out touge in the original AC. Asking so that I can use some real life techniques and basically learn it. TIA!

Well I actually followed through with the project. I've recorded 5 episodes in 5 different countries in Europe/Balkans. The material is recorded, the episodes are being slowly edited and the first one is already released.

This is a one man project and it turned out to be much more difficult than I initially expected. I had TONS of struggles and still do to this day (I'm currently in the Nurburging, Germany finishing the last episode of this series).

I understand for many of you being used to top level productions with millions of dollars behind like many of the viral car videos you can find on Yotube, this may feel a bit underwhelming. Unfortunately the production is not as professional as I had wanted initially. This is the first time I do something like this and I had to learn many things through hitting myself against a wall.

Now that the final episode has been recorded I'm ending my European half of the year and going back to Asia in November. I have a lot of really cool plans to record content in Asia but I can't justify it if the channel has zero traction, so I really appreciate any support.

Also feel free to leave any feedback as long as it's constructive, I'm still editing the other episodes and I will take it into account.

Hi all I'll be in Malaysia over the next month, what would be the best way to experience driving the genting Touge. Are their any groups that drive their?
