Hello,

I'm new to the site, over from Scoobynet, and come bearing a gift! A video of the Ultimate Car Control Course with Robb Gravett from yesterday 4th March 2006. A lot of fun was had by all, some very big grins. I will let the video speak for itself. I highly recommend the course. Met some great people too with some cracking cars...especially the Noble M400!!

Great to meet those of you on the course I look forward to future events, and thanks to those who organised the discount and the day!

Keep it sideways,

Mark

Hi Mark,
It was me in the TVR that turned up to check out the show in the afternoon. It looked great fun, and as a consequence i will definately be taking the course in April. I was particularly impressed with your ride in the Noble! It seemed as if the video camera really brought out the competitive nature of the driver! Nice spin though Thanks for posting the vid. It might help me get Mrs H to the next event.

Mark, thoroughly enjoyed the video, cheers!

Karl, cracking spin. Was definetly interesting to watch from behind, one second I'm watching your Noble's rear bumper then the next your waving at me front-on in a cloud of smoke. You wont know your car's limit until you push it over that limit. Keep up the good work!

Cheers,
Brendon

Cheers Guys - I enjoyed making the video so happy to share. I will be coming along to the May event and will get some more footage.

Thanks for the ride in the Noble Karl - that is an awesome machine. I want one!! The best run of the day was when you brought the beast out onto the track behind me in the Scoob, I pushed hard for two laps and sort of kept you at bay then the brakes got all hot and bothered and that was the end of that!! You were right behind me about 10 seconds later and I had a minor fire to put out - superb!!

E2DJH - enjoy the day, your TVR will love you for it, well worth the Mrs going too. You might see my Scoob there again as I have asked my dad if he want to go along for the day - if he does he will take the Scoob.

And the techniques work just as well on the road too. A good 5 seconds off my favourite run today and so much more in control than before. Amazingly its good on XBOX 360 too, 15 seconds off my Nurburgring time in a Ferrari 355!

Great video - thanks Mark.

You even managed to edit out all the times I knocked cones over - which couldn't have been easy.

I haven't tried it on PGR yet ... I'll have to give it a go.

Terrific video Mark - made me feel ill just watching it. Couldn't get the sound on it though - any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Sweet video Mark. Cheers for taking the trouble.

Great course as well, thanks Robb, Cate et al. Its given me loads more confidence and whetted my appetite for some more track action. Might do a Drift Academy day next. (www.driftacademy.co.uk)

This is what I'm aspiring to...
