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.
The thing about Irish roads is that you'll never know what comes next after a hill or a bend. Just close your eyes, come and rely on the luck o' the Irish.Paddy Murphy, 2012
