Goodwood Revival 2009 in-car video - classic mini race

[rjelbert]

Hello

I have just posted some great in-car video footage from the Goodwood Revival on YouTube.

The driver is Roger Phillips (my father-in-law) and the car is a classic mini. I set up the video gear for the team. Part 3 has some great overtaking sequences.

Part 1 – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIoAHTsf-Z0
Part 3 – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=trZRxkdkp20

Please take a look and leave a comment on youtube.

It was a great weekend and the weather ended up being fine!

Best

Great video.

I think I have the matching pictures of him having the small grass track experience coming out of Woodcote on the second vid!

[rjelbert]

Great, he was car 43 in green. Any chance of seeing the pics?
thanks

Hopefully some more vids pop up from the other races too.

Will be sorting through them tonight, will put them on my website for you to view and post a link here.

Fantastic videos! I've missed Goodwood for the last two years, roll on 2010..

Do you have any data about how much of the track was 100% throttle in the mini?

Still sorting but these are straight out of the camera. The site will have a load more galleries added for the Revival over the next few days.

It was a Racelogic Video VBOX. It has two camera inputs with stereo sound recording, a battery pack, and two cameras and all the mounts. Very nice bit of kit. They cost a few thousand to buy but I understand that Racelogic also rent units out for track days for only 60 quid (I think).

Unfortunately my shots of car 43 weren't some of the best of the day......

Thanks! I really like the one with the red mini. I've told Roger to take a look at this forum thread.

This is great and thanks to all who have posted photos.

Not from the telematics as we didn't have throttle position linked into the VBOX this time. I'm told the power was down to 105 BHP for this race whereas the other cars would have been closer to 120 BHP so he was working it hard all the time.

Strange, I'd say the engine in the car was strong looking at that footage, particularly compared to the turquoise car, either that or it was much better geared for Goodwood. Shame about the mid race grass cutting otherwise he'd have been up with the red car. Made for good spectating though.

Hi Zac, I have the trace from our data-logger from a sprint I did last year in our 1380, slick-tyred mini if that is of interest to you? It does not show throttle trace but it would be easy enough to work out and would be comparable to the historics.

You'd need to make some adjustment for their lower levels of grip though this maybe cancelled out by their slightly lower levels of power (our 140 versus 120?). I noticed that Nick Swift was flat or near enough through No Name whereas I had to dab the brakes to shed some speed.

[zac510]

I don't need to know for any particular reason, I just thought it seemed like a very large percentage of the lap was flat out through the fast Goodwood corners

Impressive footage indeed... it was the most entertaining race of the day and it does make you want to go out and get one!

If I may ask what sort of camera and logging system are you using? It looked very good
