Passion. Team Work. Performance
For those who live in the Maritimes, our local track is Atlantic Motorsport Park. It is an excellent place to hone-in the driver skills. But a lot of people who have a dream to race do not know how to get started. I was one such person and thought it was too hard/impossible for about 10 years. I’ve made many dumb car mistakes on the street thinking the racetrack was too far of a reach. In this blog, I’ll share my tips on how to get started in racing in the Maritimes.
In this post, I’ll share the details of my 2014 Scion FRS build. It’s a pretty fast car, with the word “fast” quantified by some good results in time attack and autoslalom. As far as results, it all kind of came together this year. In autocross, I got my first FTD (fastest time of day) at a club autocross event with really strong competitors. In time attack, it is officially the fastest FRS in the region (there could be faster street 86/BRZ/FRS’ in the underground scene, but I’ve not seen them). It also holds the official street tire (200 UTQG rated tire) record at Atlantic Motorsport Park in Nova Scotia. Here is the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcj0eCB-CVE

As of this writing, GoPro has two applications for editing your videos:
GoPro Quik enables rudimentary video editing to create quick short clips. It also provides the ability to overlay GPS data into your video such as geographic location, speedometer, g force meter and other telemetry data. Studio, on the other hand, allows advanced editing of videos, but doesn’t provide the facility to overlay GPS telemetry data. Nor is it straight forward to export from Quik into Studio with it overlaid. In this article we’ll explain how to do it.
