Great vid there, is it at Donny when BTCC were there at the last round, as part of the CruiseSport thing?

5 star video tubthumped, in-car footage following another car seems a great way to study lines. I'm doing Donington on 30th Jan I'll watch it a few more times before I go.
Stu. BTW. nice recovery from what looks like a pretty late turn-in at coppice on the first lap. |

The 'interesting' moment at Coppice was deliberate from Gary, as i was close he kicked the back end out for a laugh.
Our lines around there are much better now BTW... dropped about 5-6 seconds from the times posted in that video now |

I'm the lead car in the above vid, thanks for the comments - Would like some feed back on this vid also from Donington - I'm open to all comments positive or not - Going there again at the end of the month, need to improve my lines
I'm thinking i'm still turning in too early for most corners http://gvk.altrezia.com/donington2004.wmv Last edited by GVK; 9 Feb 2005 at 22:06. |

Thanks, in the original vid that Tub posted, was running new road tyres and an open diff, the vid I've just posted was running old Michelin clio cup slicks and a Quaife ATB diff, much easier to get the power on at the apex these days )
I sit watching the videos at home and can see where I can improve, but still make the same mistakes on the day < bangs head > If you've watched the video , any other tips?? |

Bit different in a race though! I once went through Schwanz 4 abreast and we all got through there, and McLeans, unscathed. I used to really enjoy Donington. |

On the run up to Schwanz there's an access road on the right hand side, do you think that would be a better turn in place , I can see what you mean about the entry to McLeans.
Out of interest, what did you used to race? Last edited by GVK; 9 Feb 2005 at 23:33. |

I would just recommend that you move well over to the right after the old hairpin (don't compromise your exit by trying to move over too early) so you give yourself more straight line braking space prior to McLeans. There is no need to be so far over to the right that you are on the kerbs though. |

LO GVK what a good bit of filming "speilberg watch out" nice to see a little bit of sliding about. I know it don't make for the hottest times but I'm guessing you certainly got out with a smile on your moosh!!

If you want to see a video of a radical going round Donington have a look on the radical website. www.radicalmotorsport.com
I cannot profess to being the greatest racer but I have raced donington more times than I care to remember. Looking at the video I would make the following comments: Turning in too late for Redgate as you dont seem to actually make the apex Old Hairpin is quick and if your turn in is accurate you could carry more speed You seem to turn in too late for McLeans and Coppice and the second kerb is just for motorbikes At the chicane you brake too early and need to be closer to the 1st apex Its a great video and you look to be having a lot of fun, which is what it is all about. |

Thanks Kickstart, others who have watched the video made similar comments.
Hoping it's dry enough on Sunday for another crack at it. |

Anyone attending Donington this Sunday
I've approached Roamer imaging, and the guy is coming on Sunday to take pics of the track day, images in both electronic and various sized print form will be available to order from his website http://www.roamer.com He is getting photographic access to the track so will be in all the best places. Previews will be on his site after Wednesday next week. [] |

Hmmm. I'm bored so your lucky.
Overdriving big style from lead car in lap one hence massive time loosing cockups at Old hairpin, McCleans, Coppice and Chicane. Lines not a million miles off after but way too late turning into Redgate on first 2 laps then too agressive on last lap from camera car (hence early apex and slow exit), need to use the curbs substantially more on apex and exit and less road needed at Starkies. Better not even start on what you boys are doing at the chicane because you cannot afford that much info. That will be £1000 for run down please. I take Visa or mastercard. |
