    This guy sucks. Not a clue where the racing line is.

    @G-Ram: I thought he did pretty well... there were a couple of corners he handled poorly, and he did almost drive up on top of that one Porsche, but overall I thought he showed a fairly well-balanced mix of discipline & ambition.

    @HoonThatFerrari: I'm going to reply to you here only and not give our starless commenter up there the privilege of being approved.

    I will say that he did OKAY considering the traffic, and he surely did show a good mix of discipline & ambition. However, there were many times there where he was not passing traffic and had the ability to take the proper line but did not.

    I can't recall the number of laps, but I know that I saw quite a few glaring screwups. At least twice he went horribly through the Hairpin, regardless him having been away from traffic. He took Dunlop rather poorly, although I do recall he was passing someone on the inside there, but he should have exercised patience and waited until heading towards the 13th for passing. Also his apex on Panasonic is atrocious if he's looking for any kind of good speeds on the mile long straight.

    and @dickhead up there... clearly I've driven Fuji before. Real or not, after a couple hundred laps, it's hard NOT to know what you're talking about. And passing Porsche Turbos doesn't mean shit if they're not pushing hard. He was overtaking everything because it was obviously a club day and everyone was taking it easy, and this no talent hothead thought it would be fun to drive like a moron because he had a camera to show off for.
    Engage brain before keyboard indeed.

    Or... you could record the audio separate on a hand held digital recorder or other device with a mic placed... wherever it sounds best. As long as you record both without stopping in the middle you should sync up fine.

    Bonus tip? Honk your horn at the start (or end) and you have the automotive equivalent of a film sync 'beep'. Line up in your editor of choice and bam.

    @intellivised: This'd be the way to go... for a couple hundred bucks you can get a decent little digital recorder like this one...

    [www.sweetwater.com]

    ...they have built-in mics, plus separate mic input jacks, so you could run a cheapie little lavalier mic on one channel out the passenger window & tape it to the back somewhere & get nothing but squealing tires & engine/exhaust notes, and leave the other channel to record the interior sounds from the remaining onboard mic. Your idea to do a single horn beep after starting to record would work perfectly fine for syncing video & audio tracks.

    Maybe put some scotch tape or masking tape over the microphone? That should take the sound pressure down a few dB to prevent clipping and reduce wind turbulence around the mic that causes wind noise. Sort of a low-tech low-pass filter. Or just mount the camera inside the car.

    @ibraud: That COULD work, depending on where the mic is located on the device... it could also actually amplify the noise, as you'd be adding a resonant membrane - almost a second diapghram that just happend not to polarized - to the mic. Kinda like the passive radiator speaker design, but in reverse, ya know?

    I used to get the same noise while skiing from my Oregon Scientific helmet cam, until I taped some foam over the mic. Works wonderfully...

    If they figured out how to put some type of cotton sock or whatever on the microphone it would of eliminated most of the wind noise. That's what they do for studio mics if I remember correctly.

    @Chris Hampton: In the studio, you generally don't want to use any kind of screen like you're referring to... the point of studio recording is to get as accurate representation of the sound as possible; although, if you're recording vocals with a condenser mic or tube condenser, it's common to use a pop filter, but that's a different thing altogether. What you're thinking about are shotgun mics when used outdoors, and they have either foam or cute little furry things that can that be fitted to them, which are colloquially referred to as "dead cats", like in the pic.

    The solution is even easier than mounting it on the back:

    Just strip the audio in postproduction, and add a soundtrack.
