Try auditioning the car before selection.
2. Prepare • Prepare well for recording session to save time. • You should be aware of the complexities of recording on a pubic road or racetrack. • Is the shooting location chosen by you long enough to get speed, take turns, brake, slow down etc? • Is the driver experienced enough or not? • Study the pictures of vehicles to identify possible problems that may arise in recording and get solutions to avoid trouble on the recording day.
