The yellow racer seac.

[wedge350]

Could anyone please send me in the direction of some video clips or write ups of it on the tinternet.
Found one on sports car video archives but can't get it to play. (Can't find codec).
Cheers Nik.

Isn't there a clip of it in the wedge promo vid on the cd that had the wedge info on?

[dickymint]

I put that one on the tvrvideo archive, the video codec my windows player uses is....Elecard MPEG2 Video Decoder.... there's also small clip of my red SEAC - have you tried downloading it then playing it?

Your quite right too Roger, i had forgotten that i gave Dave the 'Wedge sales video' there's quite a lot of the yellow racer on it. in fact i'm off to watch it now. Hopefully Dave managed to improve the quality (i copied it from a VHS original i bought off ebay)

Couldn't really massage more quality in but did use a different codec (the original MPEG2 one is a DVD codec)

Just watched it through and it does seem better. Lots of the yellow beasty.

Great Job Dave

Damm it would have been good to have had a big screen at BBWF and played it. Makes mental note for next year.

Rog ,

My ISP won't mail it too large !

The Macau footage was mine, 340 kbit/s WMV. Unfortunately I haven't the space to host it anymore, but I *do* have a much better analogue capture card so if someone wants to host a fairly meaty WMV then let me know and I'll re-digitise it when I get chance. The original VHS was apalling quality though.
The SEAC was driven by Steve Cole out in Macau (as it was during all it's works life) and it did piddle all over the opposition apart from a certain TVR Evolution S (aka : S Cosworth)

[roop]

Forgot to say, I can send the original WMV if you like (provided I can find it) and you can take it from there. A better one would be nice though

[jmorgan]

Seem to remember an S getting write ups in Sprint?

Maybe dig them out tomorrow.
