Thanks Guys.
Dave, I'm running a modified (de-tuned) SBC with just a tad under 500 bhp and likewise just under 500 lb/ft torque which is plenty IMHO!
Roger, thanks for your kind comments on my driving.
Kruncher, you should have been there, it was a great day... sorry to rub it in.
Best regards,
Trevor

Thanks Dave, you're right it does take a lot of effort or perhaps determination and a shed load of time to edit these vidoe's! But you do learn from the experience and I can say that next time I don't intend to shoot anywhere near as much footage which will hopefully seriously reduce the time it takes to edit? Converting the footage into an editable format also takes up so much memory and disk space which also increased the amount of time taken. It's also really tedious going over an over the same footage trying to select what you hope are the best bits, then merging shots between cameras as it's all new to me as well, so with a bit of luck it'll get easier as I get used to doing it going forward!
If anyone has any useful tips e.g. recommend some good free or cheap software and even hardware that can cope it would be appreciated?
Cheers,
Trevor

Hi Andy, many thanks for the tips. I also used GoPro Studio as my In Car cam is a GoPro and the front and rear cams are DogCam bullet HD cams. The GoPro Studio software worked okay, other than taking a 'very' long time to convert, edit and export! I had to get a 2TB remote hard drive storage device as the converted AVI files were anything up to and over 25GB each - this was mainly due to the DogCam bullet HD cameras as they shot footage in roughly 25 minute segments, whereas the GoPro shot around 8-9 minute segments!? So my old PC didn't have anywhere near enough disk space to edit any multiple clips. Still, it was my first attempt and I'm quite pleased with the results. In future, I need to make sure the sound recording it set to low and the sealed caps are fitted to the DogCam's as there is far too much wind noise for my liking. I may also fit a sealed cover on the GoPro to also reduce wind noise - it gets so hot inside the Ultima, I have to have both windows fully open (helicopter vents - one pointing forward, the other pointing reward to create an air flow through the cockpit!
Your video's are great, I like the Motec data overlaid and the video within video, nice work and very well done. As the guys have already mentioned, the acceleration on your Noble is pretty awesome, though not that surprising with 600ft/lb. I would guess that getting the power down is your biggest problem. You probably need some really sticky rubber to help. Thanks for the nice comments on my driving and it would have been great if we'd been on track at the same time, that no doubt would have produced some very interesting footage. Unless I'm mistaken, you were parked in front of me in the pit garage? Oh well, there's always a next time and we'll have to make sure we get out on track together.
Cheers,
Trevor.
P.S. Thanks for posting my clips on the Noble forum.
