Enjoy a few practice laps around Lime Rock with Johnny O.
The 1.5 mile track is short, bumpy, and extremely busy - a perfect place to test out our new BBV FootCam! GT1 average speeds of over 100 mph, top speeds of more than 150, and lap times ranging from 45s to 55s through the classes mean lots of traffic on this narrow course. "Not worth the fuel to try and race here," was the first debrief quote we heard.
This time we taped and velcro'ed the camera to the rear firewall and slapped another one to a strut to test out our new FootCam concept [.....or in this case, "ToeCam". Yes, next time we will frame the shot better!].
Thanks to everyone on the crew who helped out - especially Dan and David. Any suggestions for BBV Cam 2.1 - or even 3.0?
Congratulation mister Beretta and gavin. you win the first race after the 24h of le mans. And it's a beautiful gift for my birhday. thanks you olivier and see you soon in monaco.

Love that cam and the audio...a friend of mine was there for the event last week. We also game online, GTR2, and I love the C5r and of course the C6! Thanks for sharing!

I enjoy at 200% this cam !!! I can't weary myself of the C6R's engine :)
I agree with Phil about GTR2. It's a fantastic game and the corvette is a fabulous car (but can it be different ???). I just play online for the timetrials (http://www.gtr2-timetrials.com) as guehu ;)

I love the video the Corvette C6-R the best sounding car in the world. The foot cam could use alittle work, but it is still a great video.

All I can say is awesome!!
M·s por favor.
How about a HD DVD with in-car footage from a whole race. I think there are a lot of Corvette race fans out there that would like to see and hear that.

how bout a hood cam that faces the driver. have it so you can also see the background. i dont think ive seen thaT angle before! either way the C6R looks amazing!

Seeing this, I cant wait for this years Spa 24 Hours. I hope to see the Carsport C5R and C6R both on the Podium (1st and second respectively).

For Olivier Beretta,
bonne chance, pouolet pour la course et peut-etre la 34e victoire en alms. byz

Absolutely loved the toe cam. Johnny O is so smooth, he makes it look easy to go fast...that's what separates the great race drivers from the really good ones. :)

the best video you guys have done is the toe cam. forget the rocker panel and hood cams. put the camera in the car!!!

I agree with Ken from San Dog, put a camera in the car (drivers view) and sell us a Blue Ray DVD of a race!
