We did a test run of some aerial shots from an rc at vmax Starfire yesterday, for a trial it went remarkably well!

It never ceases to impress me how cheery you still are when car plays up! Quickest of the day though! 199mph

I see someone not understanding the 'stay in your lane' instruction as usual...

Looks like GoPro footage?

Cheers to Craig and his team excellent day as always.
I ran 195mph twice on the gps within 0.2mph of each other!! fairly pleased considering the headwind.
Great to see Matt bring some of his amazing collection of cars; his GTO-191mph and his FF 189mph and not to mention his 12C 185mph? to much aerodynamic down-force at high speed but totally amazing off the line [when it was behaving itself]! I do not think Matt likes Mr Mclaren any more!
Paul in his Matt black E55 I think hit 191mph.
Jez good to see you again, blew all comers away with 199mph while warming up, then proceeded to blow
his engine away when he got serious. Hope it is not to expensive to fix Jez.
Thanks to Ricky for organising the Mercedes 'crowd' most of whom were fist timers and every one I
spoke to said 'what a brilliant day, roll on the next one.hehe

I think that should be enforced much like the noise limits. Some cars suffered pretty serious damage.

we do tell everyone on start to stay left or right and 99% of people adhere to this, those that dont we do speak to. When you say some cars & pretty serious damage could you pm me pls because nobody flagged up any damage on the day and I'm pretty sure I spoke to almost everybody there personally during the day and before they left.

sorry to hear that Jez, i'll ensure we are even more strong worded on that point in future. I'd be happy to pay your windscreen excess.

Are the pics only going to be posted on FB? Or are you updating the website too?
