Was wondering if anyone would be able to advise me on improving the sensation of speed with onboard trackday footage?
I am in no way a photographer/videographer. I have a GoPro Hero 11 mini, I have never touched a setting on it. It’s fitted next to my windscreen and just hit ‘record’ when I leave the pits.
Trouble is the videos always look really slow and composed, the video stabilisation over my old GoPro Session 5 seems to have made things worse still.
Was wondering if there were any lenses or settings etc to just give that sensation of speed I’m after.
Not sure if YouTube links are allowed here but some examples would be nice too if possible?

Usually it's the focal length that makes it look slow - try zooming in a little (sorry not familiar with GoPro settings how to do it)

I've never used a GoPro, or any action camera, but I understand that most people use "Superview".
