Yeah, cage mounted but the light is a little tricky hence the dark bits on certain parts of the circuit.

Last couple.



Sideways yo!

Mike, is there any reason you chose this instead of the Countour HD?

Ha, it's ok Joe, I understand why you were pootling - you can try getting your own back with the R next time!

Deako, purely review based. Pretty much every test has the GoPro being superior, there's a 'tube clip from the Gadget Show group test somewhere, that swung it.
Sideways yo!

Ive seen varying reports. It looks like the saturation is good on the GoPro, but the colour richness is way better on the Contour. I think its all down to preference.

The advantage for me would be the size of the Contour HD. Much easier to conceal, at certain other places. ;)

Whats the difference between saturation and colour richness? Id say they are one of the same.

Both roughly the same size and both have quick release mounts - I guess just choose whichever you prefer?

Excellent! Surely this thread should be moved to the Trackday section?

Great lines, Mike, and power noticeably on very early through corners  :notworthy:

Cadwell Rich? Told you they were funny little cars!!

Robin, thanks for the compliments, but analysing the lines I'm a bit wayward in places - most likely from not concentrating due to gabbing to passengers, I didn't get a lap on my own all day!! The car is very flattering though, even on a day like this (very greasy off line, despite being dry), it was easy to drive.
Sideways yo!

Yes, Cadwell mike (photos in the photo section)

Im not easily impressed, but the first time Tom took me out my jaw hit the deck. As a passenger it felt incredible stable and those yoko tyres he's got are like blutack!

All that remains to be said is that hes got far far larger gonads that I have!  :scared:
