Offroad racing is a heap of fun and the power of the V8 buggy driven in this clip is a fully kitted racing unit. offroadrush.com.au have a set-up where the regular punter can have a crack at grabbing the wheel of one of these beasts.

We hooked a session up at their Colo location and took a bunch of cams along to record the experience and give our customers an idea of how the different units perform under dust and heavy vibration conditions.

We also bumped into a mad bloke going by the name of Ian Stokes while we were there. The same as me, it was his first time on one of these power sleds and he was cool with us leaving the cam running for his laps. Cheers Ian.

As always the Motor Racing crews are pretty laid back and we had a great time. That being said, a quick stop at a nearby pub with Petra and Juha on the way home proved that beer is the best remover of dust, haha.

Juha did a mad job of mounting the cams. The view here is from the Gopro mounted upside down on the drivers side roll bar. There is new firmware out which allows the cam to film upside down but it downloads the correct way up into your movie maker. You can see the properties of the GoProHD Motorsport Hero on our site at sportscamera.com.au/hd-motorsports-hero-p-312.html

The first couple of scenes I've used a new de-interlacer program so the 60fps mode is made full use of. The handheld footage wasn't too steady so the fine detail isn't as clear as we would like and we're sorting a new de-interlacer program which can do with some tweaks, but you'll get the idea.

If you have any questions about mounting or other details, just message us here or send an email direct. we're always keen to bring people up to speed on any aspects of our sportscameras, the biggest range in Australia.

We also ran a Drift Innovation HD, Contour 1080 and Tachyon XC Micro cams on the day, which we're editing and uploading and you'll be able to view them for comparison to see what suits your needs best.

Thanks to Chris and the crew at Offroad Rush, whose stills we've interspersed through the vid to show viewers the machine we were having a blast in.
