Well 1st time out this year so a little shake down for the upcoming season. Was moist most of the afternoon but decided to chuck it down for the last hour.

Must apologise for the crappy camera footage. It was misting up on the windscreen so moved it to the cage but you can see the failed result :(

Here's one of the very wet laps

I know billy the footage is terrible. I don't know if the camera settings can be adjusted or if I just need to move it closer to the screen.

Car was good though, I'm really enjoying the wet with it at the moment.

Was it a GoPro? Tip for future - if it's got wifi, record some test footage and then watch it back on the app before recording a day's worth.

Seemed like you were driving well though, even if it was into an infinite expanse of whiteness :hahaha:

I don't know whether yours will do it, but on Go Pro if you turn spot metering on it prevents this as it focuses on the centre of the screen, in your case this would be outside. Worth seeing if you can turn that setting on yours :thumbs:

Need to mount camera further forward so it doesn't have the predominant dark interior to focus on. Otherwise sounding ace.

I have a mount with holes so will screw that to the dash for next time. Hopefully be far enough from the screen to stop the misting up. :smokin:
