Sounds good but 7TVR is right. The issue is that the camera exposure is being set by the majority of the field of view (FOV) to obtain the right video level. The inside of the car is relatively dark compared to the outside.To correct this next time you need to move the camera so that the windscreen fills the majority of the FOV, then the camera will set the exposure correctly and make a very good video.

Yep, going to try the camera mounted on the back of the seat next time, looking over the shoulder as it were, it's nice to get driver input as well as track action too if possible.

Depending on what camera you're using, have a look to see if it has a 'spot meter' lighting mode. That makes it set the exposure to whatever is in the centre of view, so if it's the windscreen you'll be able to see outside of the car.

Is that passenger seat attached to the car or just floating around?
Looks a little scary to me eek

That will be the tvr factory way of bolting the seat to the fibreglass floor, unlike the drivers seat that is through the chassis.
I have even fitted stainless steel reinforcing sandwich plates, so would be worse standard!

It sounds good and I am sure it is a great engine, however I still miss the howl my 400SE made , even if it did have less than half the power.

Sounding good brummie, will get those pics over to you tonight hopefully. I now have a need to experience this beast even more so than before! The only problem then though will that my teeny tamora will suddenly feel very underwhelming !!!

Love those pics Jon, thanks.

Camera in the front of the car works better, but you miss driver input...

no worries Paul, next time if I have more time free will be able to get some better ones.

dont know if your camera has a mic input? but I have some spare mics that are ment to work pretty well, havent tried them yet as I'm waiting on a case for mine to allow me to plug stuff in.
