By no means my fastest (was very conscious of crashing on camera so i went even slower than i normally would!)

I make it under 10 minutes which i don\'t think is too bad for my 4th lap :) Plenty of places i could have gone quicker; i was more filming just to remember the track rather than go for a fast one.

I have more vids, although havent extracted them yet.

Nice video mate. You could do with mounting the camera on something to stop it being so shakey
I didn\'t think you were allowed to film on the ring anymore though?

Your not allowed, hence why my feet get filmed towards the end of the vid - we go past a marshalls car.

Great vid - some nice heel/toeing going on :)
 
A lot of gearbox/diff wine from your car?

Glad you can tell glen :P

I do get some whine from the back of the car - not sure if its diff or wheel bearing, its always done it. Car has standard mounts and bushes etc apart from the poly race mounts...but they didnt make it any more noisy.

Suprised to not see any bikes - I was there With my VW forum in the summer (june/July) saw a few Rex\'s too, 2 silver ones that were with my mates Supra Mk4 forum...

I\'m planning a trip back in May this time with a Rex!! when it gets eventualy sorted!!:Laugh

Is anyone planning on going next year?

Post by: Bobfish on October 11, 2006, 11:42:17 AM

There were LOADS of bikes in the day.

Heh heh, like the "Get off the line!" ;)

It still surprises me how quiet these cars are, I remember doing the \'ring in Exige and not being able to hear bugger all! Let along talk to each other... More like scream! :D

Still, looking to head out there again once the car\'s ready! You vid reminded me what fun it is out there!

Just because you said that, here\'s another one!

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=HGJOF4XC

This was taken this summer. Track temp was 35 celsius, hence the slow down part way through the lap on the uphill stretch!

Lots of accidents, me following Spotlamp (Hereward Holmes).

Good stuff Karl, thats only 1 minute off the pace of an average nova with a standard XE in it, LOL

Seriously though, its an awesome experience going there, and definately an idea not to push it too hard if you love your car, in case it ends up in the barrier like mine did!
Title: my RX7 nurburgring video
Post by: Bobfish on October 11, 2006, 05:28:23 PM
Lol chip - how do you have so many posts?


I didnt push it too hard on the camera - last thing you want to do is stack it whilst doing something illegal on the track you know?!

maxim - how did you get those shots?
Title: my RX7 nurburgring video
Post by: maximtaylor on October 11, 2006, 06:04:59 PM
I\'ve got a Sony Bulletcam in the nose of the car, you can\'t see it from the outside unless you really look for it!

Damm! now it says server has internal error - have to try again tomorrow!

Max - was it easy installing the camera?  I have wanted to put a almost hidden one in the nose for ages - what does it record to?

Cheers, RIcco.

Wow... excellent vid!!!

does that use a mic where the camera\'s mounted, of elsewhere??
and what do you record to? DVcam? Archos type thing?
Title: my RX7 nurburgring video
Post by: maximtaylor on October 11, 2006, 10:22:03 PM
Recorded to a standard camcorder hidden under the passenger seat, microphone in passenger footwell.

This is the kit:

Get one of the higher res cams, and get the 12v cigar lead to power it and away you go :)

yeah.. I had been looking at these:

anyone know if they\'re better/worse ??
Title: my RX7 nurburgring video
Post by: maximtaylor on October 11, 2006, 11:36:45 PM
They use the same cams, but the extras are pricey! How much for a 12v lighter lead??????
