In-Car Video (ChaseCam) of 997TT at Infineon Sears Point
I just got the ChaseCam setup (bullet cam and solid state recorder) integrated with my TraqMate GPS logger. Here's a couple of laps from yesterday at Infineon. I was out there with BMW Club. Lots of traffic, so I got only one clear lap, which is the second lap in the video (2:01 laptime).
I am happy with the setup, but clearly need a polarizing filter to cut on the dash glare.

As an aside, does anyone know what is considered a "good" time for a street Turbo?

Great video, nice driving, thanks for posting.
There is a laptimes thread in the 996 TT section, I think there may be some infineon times in there, not 997 TT though.
I can add your times to it if you wish.

Yep. That was me. My wife and I shared the car, so she was on track sometimes as well.

Ahh....track days
Hey man. Good video. Saw you go hot into that double right-hander with decreasing radius. I am coming over from the Bimmer world into the Land of the Crest soon and I CAN'T wait for my first track day of the season.

Nice video. I am by no means no authority in the matter, but 2'01" at Sears Point sounds very respectable to me for HPDE conditions on street tires, especially given the lack of run off areas. I was lapping a bit slower on my first track day there with the GT3.
My video set-up is less sophisticated than yours, using a suction cup with an external mike in the central console. Another video from Laguna Seca last week-end.
