TCG end of season Fall Cruise Media Thread

PANDA This was a great route, with some great weather, and when I was going slow enough, good scenery too lol. This route is worth repeating.One of the TPMS sensors in my tires went to shit, and it kept saying low pressure, so I stopped twice to check and each time, all 4 tires perfectly fine. So its TPMS.
However, because I had to catch back up to the group I had to do some serious back road barn storming. I don't think I've driven THAT vigorously on public roads since The Land Between The Lakes on on the 2016 Kentucky Gangbang tour. I was hauling the mail to catch back up through some really nice twisty winding roads. The 2nd time I had to catch up I felt like I was in an Initial D game conquering the Togue.
WhiteKnuckle Pete and I had a shit ton of fun catching back up to the pack too. Felt like Forza Horizon in real life. Wish I had a go-pro, because the footage from that run would have been epic.I only took one picture and its a shitty one, but here's my contribution.
PANDA you’re the man. That route was epic.Beating the snot out of
03GTGreen ’s GT350 and then jumping in
greasy ’s 900hp hellYACHT was a blast.It was nice meeting a bunch of you. And
SpeedSpeak2me drives the freaking wheels off that G37!My kid had his go pro going when I get a chance I will upload a couple videos

Here is a dump of all of my photos from my DSLR (36MP full frame), uncorrected. Sizes have been reduced by about 50% so they can be uploaded to the site. If anyone wants a copy of the original I have both the JPG and RAW files. I'll have 20 CPU cores and 64 GPU cores working on the Time Warp videos shortly.
Looking back at them, most of the JPGs came out a little dark, even though the exposure is balanced. For a couple of them I'll probably go back and create my own JPGs from the RAW files.
Ugh loooooooooooongest day ever. (Because of work the night before) but soooooooo worth it to make pigs fly and listen to the the loudest ear screeching blower whines from
Absolutely man! Loved ripping in the GT350, car shines in the 4K+ area and handles fucking amazing. Sweet ass ride!
Going to try something different, so let me know if it does not work. Instead of dropping 15 different shortcuts to the videos, just going to use a playlist.
As usual, YouTube nerfed the quality, dropping them from 78Mb/s down to about 8Mb/s. Was going to wrap them in a 4K container, but the second video, which is 30 seconds took over an hour for YouTube to process. When recording I did try to keep the clips somewhat short. No one wants to sit through a 15-20 minute video watching us drive for 3-4 hours.
All are done with TimeWarp, some are at 5:1 compression and others are at 10:1. The videos where we look like we'd belong in a Benny Hill sketch would be the 10:1.
Just make sure to manually select the highest quality option (1080p), even if it says, "Auto 1080p". Manually selecting it will improve the quality.
Before quality selection ("Auto" = bad):
Changed to 1080p
After quality change (Auto removed):
Edit - I don't trust the elevation meter on the left side. For some reason GoPro (at least mine) is never accurate, regardless of the shooting mode. Also, all of the gauges can be customized (size, transparency, position), and there are about 40-50 more different gauges to choose from. If someone is looking for a different layout, or different gauge, let me know and I'll work with you on customizing them.

I didn't take many pictures. Honestly navigating on that technical of a route kept me busy. I felt like a copilot yelling to a rally driver riding shotgun in the WRX.
