Thanks Chris, it's a great opportunity to work with Britcar. David (Hornsey) and I are starting to get ourselves sorted with the on board stuff. It,s a shame that you can,t see the original footage, its crystal clear. I have to compress the film for the web and it pulls frames out so fast action can appear blurred. Thanks again Darren.

Cheers Secret, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for your feed back, it's not exactly TV coverage but it gives a flavour of the event. Thanks again

Well done Darren. Best so far. Those on-car cameras are producing some great footage.

Thanks guys, the on car stuff really adds speed to the piece, infact it can make the trackside footage appear pedestrian. It's what you hear every week on Top Gear when the star the reasonably priced car says about their drive, "it looks so slow" but they know they,ve given it the beans. It's all about perspective.

Yet another example of superb film making,you have a real talent and draw the viewer to watch time and time again. Usually, and I suspect for many teams and competitors it would be the norm, we watch these videos in order to catch a glimpse of our own cars, in your case, I am just as involved watching everyone else irrespective of seeing or otherwise our car.

Great job mate.

cheers

Rod

Rod,

Thanks for those very kind words, if I keep getting these compliments I may need to invest in a new crash helmet as I feel sure my current skid lid will not be big enough.

Cheers Darren

Don't worry Darren, you will be far too busy filming and directing a remake of Star Wars, with Spielburg as your assistant to worry about skid lids, bar Darth Vader's, and in Hollywood, you can wear what you like hehe
