Hey Taro, is the audio you get inside the car from the go-pros or another mic? Cause it ain't half bad. btw lovin BTS all the way from Australia!

[GT Channel]

Thanks for the love and yes the in-car audio is from the GoPros.

[colenbrak]

the GoPro audio is horrible! It would be a lot nicer, in my opinion, if you guys use the audio from other shots or put an extra recorder somewhere!

[GT Channel]

It's not the best but the best we can do at this moment. The audio from the other shots are usually from a distance. It's a lot of run and gun at the events so but just not worth the trouble and time right now for another mic to worry about.

Dai is so chill!!! I love it! He would be such an awesome driver to work with. Doesnt stress out or freak out under pressure or get angry.

I have an idea for the team name if there isn't one for Yoshihara's crew yet: Team Redstart.
