Thanks to 'Nacnud' for the pics.

What the hell happened to the R's arse?!?!

To quote JC. I could have filled my mouth and nose with all the lights, sneezed and they would still have looked better!!!

I think they ran put of inspiration!!

Front looks pretty mean though!

I see that the Regalia stall did a roaring trade in umbrellas again this year...

I wonder why they didn't go with the rear light style that the Tuscan-R racer uses? I thought it looked pretty good - also preferred the perspex front light covers on the racers - especially with the black background under the cover.

cheers,
Craig

Agree that the Tuscan R's bum loses something in comparison with the racer, but what a car...The race car looks pretty good but this thing was just stunning imho. Seemed to have something of early sixties Ferraris about it and if 450bhp in 1000kg is reality then it might go quite well too.

BTW, thanks to TVR folk who made Eclipse's soggy TVRCC debut such a pleasure, it was great, if damp, to be there.

I've emailed Ted a couple of video clips of the Eclipse Tuscan R showboating for the Back Home crowd.

Ted's having trouble finding the right codec so he can view it. Fingers crossed Ted will post them somewhere on PH. Ted - I can always convert them into MPEG format if that would be of help.

[tvradict]

QuickTime is fine as it is used by the Canon software that created it; Quicktime says it is in Motion JPEG OpenDML format

First clip shows Eclipe Tuscan R donutting with a lovely controlled exit off into the distance at speed.

Second clip is just about the ultimate donut - right arm out of the open drivers door waving at the crowd. Real close to the camera too !

Enjoy

I think they're Motion-JPEG - it's the same stoopid format that my Fuji DigiCam produces...

Quicktime4 player will play them.. and there's a plug-in for WMP but it's not free.. bagoshite if u ask me..

Duncan - what software would you use to convert them to MP2? I've looked at a few but none seemed to work as I would have liked..

It's a bit long winded, but I'd load it into Microsoft Movie Maker and save as a 25Mbps AVI file. WMM is free with XP and loads the clips, but will only save into either WMV or raw AVI files.

The uncompressed 25Mbps AVI formats seem just about universal.

Then open the AVI file in Studio 7 and resave as MPEG.
