Thanks! It's a bit of a process. I download my .gpx file and create the overlay in Garmin Virb Edit. It's a trainwreck of a platform, but it's literally the best thing out there. I use a green screen as my 'video', put the overlay on it, and then export it. I then use DaVinci Resolve to create the video. Front camera first, then sync up the rear camera. Then hope I can find a good spot to sync the overlay, which I then use a 3D keyer to mute out the greenscreen. Then, sit back and wait for my PC to render it all together. Then, to do a commentary, I re-upload the completed video, and do the commentary over that (rather than over the 3-layer timeline).
Regarding the corner at the end of the back straight: is the speed limited by your confidence, your skill, and/or the physical grip of the tyre? I raced before you, and we were going 40ish? compared to the 45ish? here. What might be the max speed through that corner given the wet track yesterday - in terms of tyre grip and risk-reward? Also, what are your thoughts on yesterday's long track compared to the usual short track? Cheers
I can answer this one - even in the wet you can tip into that corner at pretty much any speed, it's not in any way a technical corner and it's MUCH faster than the hairpin on the short track.
@@iRoffle Well, if you're on the front and can pick your line that hairpin is negotiable at 55+, but we're talking either an early sprint run or a lead-out, in any other scenario you just wouldn't be going that fast...
That bottom corner is fascinating, because there is no reason to take it anything less than 'as fast as you can and keep peddling." The 'pedal prix' line is best - turn late, and if you've started turning before hitting Wakefield Road, you've turned too early. There's no need to worry about the apex, what's more important is maintaining speed. As @AlasdairMcLellan said, you can take it at almost any speed and keep peddling. Even the hairpin on short track, I've seen Kelland and Sam Welsford take that at 70km/h - no way I've ever been that fast on that track, let alone into the hairpin, but it's easier than people think. In terms of the comparison between short and long, I actually prefer the short track, because I find that the micro recovery you can get going into the bottom corner/hairpin can set you up nicely for a good sprint. The long course is probably smoother and faster, and better for a sit-in-lazy-sprinter, but I think I prefer the slightly more technical short course.
