Tommy Milner Corvette C6.R Helmet Cam - Mid-Ohio Test

[cn009]

That rear view camera would really really distract me. I guess you just get used to it

[24bcarver]

I wish they would put this car on Forza 4!

[idiotfromholland]

Awesome footage Tommy. Would you be interested at recording the same when driving at Le Mans? That would be great!

[woohoo800]

My dream car

[RK1Hatty]

I've been trying to keep up with all the technical niggles that are going in in ALMS and IMSA right now. Am I correct in saying that this car is built for the GT (Formely GT2) category and if so, its powered by a 5.5L V8 rather than the GT1's 7.0L?

[oliveiraej]

As I was watching the video I was trying to see the effort it took to press the paddle shifters. It didn't look like any pressure at all. I currently have a EVOX as a daily commuter with the SST auto and when I take her to the track and use the SST Track mode in auto sounds exactly like that, (Shift points not actual engine sound). Wish I had a SST in my 2006 Z06 where I could have every shift type option available,

[soulcalibur22]

good luck this year

[bUMf1GHT]

So smooth!

[nonod133]

cool !

[Themayseffect]

i really respect your driving skills. hopefully in this years season the car has progressed and the corvette team will be able to pull out a lot more wins. thanks for posting these clips.

[misterman111222]

sounds amazing

[fabricioteidy]

Thx for sharing....amazing quality and sound and nice driving thx a looot

[tradingpilot]

How can anyone dislike this video??

[1985sago]

NFS SHIFT 2...

[6V92TA]

is that an automatic trans there or you're button pushing behind the steering wheel for shifts?

[fanofdiesel]

What a noise...

[nimaxx38]

im going to do it

[nimaxx38]

i want to drive for corvette racing.

[EpicRallyTime]

@saatana4 the only reason they have the camera is because there is no back window in the C6R so the camera is required

[blixtenkarting]

this would be my biggest dream to drive a vette in the ALMS and Le Mans ! :)

[packer492]

Absolutely awesome

[sledforpeace]

is it a automatic transmission??

[dome005]

@saatana4 You ever heard of technological progress?

You ever heard that the cars are getting faster?

You ever heard of growing G-forces with growing Speed?

Noooo, everything was better yesterday... I know... I know...

Thanks to tgmilner and thanks to the progress.

[saatana4]

@dome005 I could understand if these changes increase safety but this is just making driving easier. And driving a GT doesn't make so much G-forces that you can't stick shift or watch your mirrors.

[saatana4]

thumbs down for steering wheel. screen and paddle shift.

[ProTuner06]

@saatana4 Thumbs down for you not understanding what a true race car is.

[saatana4]

@ProTuner06 youtube.com/watch?v=CwSXf3KLlf­o

there you have a true race car. Your "true" race cars are getting more ridiculous every year as the endurance drivers are getting more lazy. Not saying that i'm in a better shape but hey this is their job.

[cortkatanakx1q]

@saatana4 Those were times when drivers really had big balls of steel. :)

[SimonC979]

What is the net in the middle of the car for? I think I've only ever seen it in the Corvette C6.R.

[IchiTrois]

@SimonC979

Safety net so the driver doesn't bounce all over the cabin in a crash

[9196d]

how many pounds of boost are you getting?

[Xtremedu95]

@9196d it's N/A :/

[junbanzai]

after watchin this my HR and BP went up

[mhmyup1]

Moar!

[cortkatanakx1q]

Nice helmet cam. But aren't paddle shifters a bit boring? Personally, I don't like this trend. As a spectator, I like big GT cars with sequential gearbox and heel&toe downshifting. It's some kind of challenge.

[ProTuner06]

@cortkatanakx1q Most race cars are switching to paddles. You try racing the 24 hour Le Mans or 24 Hour Nurburgring whith a stick. I perfer a stick with sequential gearbox but paddles make it that much better and driver friendly on a real race track in a real race car. I'm speaking with experience though so that's just MHO.

[cortkatanakx1q]

@ProTuner06 Yes, I understand that. But still, as a spectator, I want to see some "action" in cockpit. Plus, it makes some room for drivers errors. I love cockpit cam and can't imagine FIA GT1 cars for example with paddle shifters. I prefer SQ even in racing sims. Paddle shifters are too boring after a while. There is just something about it when you can push/pull gear lever. :) I hope SQ won't be abandoned completely.

[liamcollister]

Swap you for my 1.2l Renault Clio? =]

[BBVCorvettec62005]

@zippy476 contact Pratt & Miller or Richard Prince photography. Facebook both of them or type the names on google and there sites will pop up

[zippy476]

Also I am looking for information regarding the pedals. Specifically what brand and model plates they used on the old GT1 car.

I also need high detail pictures of the button box, steering wheel and button plate, as well as the dash.

I tried to figure out how to contact Corvette Racing but they don't have a phone number or email so I thought I would try my luck and see if you would be willing to help with the info.

Thanks for your time.

[zippy476]

Hey Tom I'm trying to build a C6R GT1 replica for my Simulator and was wondering what model the "Personal" steering wheel they used to use.

Thanks mate.

[gregstiles21]

HOW do you get into a career of racing like this?

[zippy476]

Btw with that new gear box do you still have to rev match or is it left foot braking and off the throttle downshift?

[tgmilner]

@zippy476 The car blips automatically but I right foot brake only because it's a bit tight in the car for me. I can do both though if I want.

[zippy476]

@tgmilner Alright dude thanks.

[zippy476]

Finally I have been waiting years for an on-baord like this...thanks Tom.

[DewCr3w88]

We need more! Please do this at Baltimore

[gymratt42]

Very cool video!

[yurlame757]

when did you get the camera and how long did you wait for it? ive had mine on order for over a month now.

[chrisdraper2007]

Awesome stuff Tommy! I hope there are more videos like this one in the future.

[EMAPPAREL]

Getting closer and closer to being a video game :)

You using a GoPro?

[tgmilner]

@EMAPPAREL It's RePlay's new HD camera

[prodigistics]

@EMAPPAREL +1

[rayrankins]

Way Cool. Now, if we could only get GM to put the rear-view camera in the street cars, at least as a parking assist when backing up!

[ShizoluckyShizostar]

Awesome! More of these please.
