Anyone seen the in-helmet cam during the motegi CART race?

I've never seen anything like it! amazing shot from inside franchitti's helmet as he blasts around the oval. Gives an incredible insight into a drivers eye view :o) mt

Yes I did, and I'm looking forward to more unique views from the gang at SPEED. -- don ------------------------------------- BAPOM Alternative Program Covers for GPL http://www.trilon.com/bapom/ "Michael Turner" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:ab96g1$ho7$[email hidden]... > I've never seen anything like it! amazing shot from inside franchitti's > helmet as he blasts around the oval.

My only complaint was the announcer commenting on how steady his head seemed to be. Well, duh! That's where the camera is! Everything else will appear to be shaking around...as it obviously was. Where do they get those guys? Oh, yeah. They're the ones that couldn't hack it as stick-n-ball commentators. Back OT: great shots.

The first time they used it was at Long Beach with Paul Tracey. His view was much bouncier. You pretty much have to figure an oval car is gonna have the helmet wedged in so there can be NO movement, but a roadcourse cockpit probably has a little more room so the driver can scan more of the road. dave henrie

If they can just get the contrast corrected so you can see the track better, and less of Dario's schnozz. Good thing it wasn't in Kanaan's car! The camera they had on Tracy at LB kinda reminded me of the pan view in CART Precision Racing. I could never get used to that view in the game tho. Hopefully it will be good weather at Laguna Seca in June so we can see what that cam looks like thru the 'screw... Warlock!
