Here's a vid:

Mainly me trying to chase a Ferrari 430 of some race description... maybe a challenge one? Not sure. Towards the end of the vid I'm trying to get some momentum to pass a lime green Lotus Exige, put a wheel onto the painted lines and end up a bit crossed up... then I let the Reynard behind me past, but he doesn't get back on line and misses the apex and goes off circuit. I almost follow in sympathy....

ETA:

Just been through the video, and I think they should have something more solid about "lift off when being overtaken":

Nice laps ed - yr car is a flyer.

I was there on that day too with my Mrs, we were sharing my car with her in group 1 and me in group 2. In the 2nd vid you can hear my exhaust dropping to bits which I luckily got fixed by a race team round the corner and made it back for the last few sessions. Loved the historic circuit - much more fun that the recently retired GP circuit.

Looks good, not convinced about mounting the camera to the helmet though! I think a fixed mount would look a lot better.
