Team Paddy Murphy attended the 12th edition of Coppa d'Europa 2016 from 7th to 10th April 2016. The 2016 edition started in Vaals (NL) and led through the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and ended in Prague in the Czech Republic. Coppa d'Europa is among the most challenging rallies in Central Europe. Team Paddy Murphy started in the category CoppaSport and finished the rally 34rd of 41 - a decent result for their first participation!
As with all tools, correct setup is critical to get brilliant results. Before using his new GoPro HERO4 Black, Paddy went the extra mile to find the perfect mix between image quality and recording time. First Paddy measured maximum recording time in different video settings. This control test was done indoors and the camera didn't move during recording.
Paddy's Chilean cousins, Patricios Murphy and Patricios "MoXo" Murphy, visited Paddy in Switzerland this summer. When MoXo was here, they drove one day on the Night Flight challenge route - that's where Paddy lost his GoPro camera somewhere between Davos and the border to Austria. Luckily, MoXo had a brand new GoPro 4 camera with him. As a result, you can see Paddys adventures in sixty frames per second. That's the same frame rate the epic Hobbit movies have.
A long way back, in May 2015, Team Paddy Murphy attended (and won) the rally Strade del Vino 2015 in Piedmont. After days of hard work, Paddy finally finished making the film and decided to share his superior knowledge of film making and the immense experience gained from creating movies. If you're not interested in a look behind the scenes of Paddy Murphy Studios, or if you can't wait to see the finished film, go on and click here. Paddy does not blame you (just kidding, of course he does!).
Paddy proudly presents the brand new web site of teampaddymurphy.ie. Paddy showed a glimpse of his work by publishing two articles in July and now he completed the whole redesign. Paddy gives thanks to all the other Paddies out there for helping to get this project on the road and driving: beta testers, security testers, photographers, maps editors and the propaganda minster.
