Video Requests

[R_U_LOCAL]

I'm going to be in a position to film some decent quality video footage over a couple of days in late August, thanks to a friend of mine who has some decent kit. I'll put something together which covers some of the basic aspects of cornering that I've covered in previous posts, and possibly another video on overtaking, as the last one was shockingly wobbly.

Has anyone any other requests?

It doesn't specifically have to be a subject that I've covered yet in my articles, and I'll have some access to a circuit on one day, which may be useful.

All requests will be considered.

This sounds basic, but if you can squeeze it in, I'd love to see a piece about turning into a side road without any brake-gear overlap. I struggle, and always feel like it's rushed. Other than that, I'm looking forward to seeing the overtaking section. Do you have a link to the old footage, btw? I'm a new face here, and would love to see it.

Thanks,

Erd

No problem.

Overtaking demo is here...

And the original overtaking post is here...

And here is a very wobbly cornering demo...

I should be able to produce some much better footage this time.

Ok, to summarise so far then...

Motorway driving? Should be possible, but I can’t guarantee whether it’ll be busy or not.

I might struggle with congested city conditions, as I’m not really going near any cities and I’m not sure how interesting a video it would make, but I’ll see.

Basic left/right turns and some other simple systematic manoeuvres shouldn’t be a problem. I’ll include some roundabout footage in this.

Getting driving position right? We’ll see.

Escaping from a submerged vehicle? No problem, as long as you lend me your car.

Commentary, well, ok, but no ripping the piss out of my cloggy accent!

As for response driving, I’m afraid that this is non-work related. I’m on leave at the moment and I’m going to do a trackday in a couple of weeks. I’m taking a mate who has some decent video equipment, but I’ll be doing some filming away from the track too. Unfortunately, it’ll have to be in the M3 though, although I might be able to do a little filming in the MX-5 too.

Isle of Man? I'm afraid not. Will Wales do?

Anything else?

Have a read here for my previous post on speed...

However, I wouldn't be daft enough to post a video of me committing offences on the internet, so I can safely say that at no point on that video, did I exceed the posted limits (mostly NSL)

If you were in the Llandow area for a track day does that mean the videos will be up soon?

Yes - as soon as I've edited them, I'll post them up, warts and all!

I've been busier than I'd planned to be these last couple of weeks or so and there's been a death in the family, but bear with me - I do have some footage to share and I'll post it when I've a little more spare time.
