Had a great day ,thanks again Ian for sorting it out .Ian should have some good video of me in the wet he was toying with me and wouldn\'t go past ,I think he was enjoying him self watching me making a hash of it

:Hammer
Roll on the next outing
:driving
Sorry I had it run off after but it was a good thing I did ,I didn\'t get finished at work till after five in the morning as it was

Sorry Jim - I would have loved to have some video recorded of that but my batteries had all died by that point, so I\'ve only got morning sessions and the drive down to the petrol station

Still it was fun watching the semi-slicks try and work on more water then they\'re capable of handling. And the driver having fun while doing it :Thumbs-up

A big thank you to everyone who managed to get on to the day - I didn\'t think that Cadwell was going to be popular on a Wednesday and you all proved me wrong! Absolutely brilliant and we\'re going to have to go back again next year...

Ian.


Some highlights from the video:

@4:15 Completely the wrong line and wrong gear through Hall Bends. The RX8 doesn\'t quite have the right gear ratios for Cadwell and there are several places where you\'re holding on the rev limiter rather than change up into the next gear. That may change with semi-slick tyres rather than the road tyres that I\'m using.

@7:15: chasing down an Audio S4 (B5 variant). If you ever want to see the difference between torque and handling in the corners then this is probably it. The Audi has around 260 bhp to the RX8\'s 230bhp and you can see the gap opened up on the straights where the turbo on the Audi kicks in. For 3/4 of a lap I\'m chasing until some heavy braking in Charlies and the advantage is kindly conceded.

@10:45 Forgot to turn in on the corner (oops!) after focusing too much on the gear change down to 3rd.

@14:15 The kit car that overtook in the inside of Mansfield corner was spilling fuel onto its exhaust. While the overtake was technically outside the rules of the day (no overtaking within the corners) this wasn\'t an issue due to the track positioning and the relative capabilities of the two cars.

Great vids Ian

Jim ya a mad man in the wet

[shaunwil]

Very good videos I noticed I said I got 2 good sessions, but I was out for just over 30mins per session and everything was running very well. My tires where starting to turn into chewing gum but I could have got quite a few more laps in !

Hi Guys,
I have some footage of Steve (briefly) and Shaun, but not sure how to load on here. Its saved in windows movie maker, any ideas ?
 
Thanks
Chris

An upload onto YouTube will do the job, they take most formats (you\'ll need an account) and the vid can be added to the forum once its on there.

Cheers,
Ian.

Chris, if you use Windows Live Movie Maker (free download available) then you can easily import your videos, do simple edits and upload DIRECTLY to youtube from within the program. It\'s what I do, as it\'s the easiest and quickest way of publishing video onto the internet. If you need any detailed advice just let me know and I\'ll gladly help out.

Excellent bit of video Chris, well done for getting there in the end :Thumbs-up Hope you are OK with me embedding it in your post above.

I think that\'s N1xon you\'ve got in there too in the grey RX-8, so you\'ve done a good job to capture a lot of "rear ends"

Amazing to see how your car just effortlessly accelerates on the straights :cool

Are you going to post the video up on the RX8OC as not all the guys are on here? Or would you be happy for me to post it over there on your behalf?

[lennycarloff]

nice video Chris, thats one quick car you have there, I have some footage myself from the afternoon that i will have to post, just need to edit it a lot as it is 25mins long, I know 25mins to get round :Hammer
