I have quite a bit of footage, not looked at it all yet, but here is the first offering.

The infamous Friday night at Houx Annexe.

The file sizing seems to effect the brightness, but I hope you like it all the same.

More to follow.

after lap before I got the camera going.

[soapbox]Not being funny - but kids who blat their Nova's round carpark "are only having a bit of fun"

it seams that round here - it's one rule for "them and one rule for "ph'ers"

don't get me wrong - i'm all up for having fun on 4 wheels - and with a croud like that one on the roundabout, they would all of been breathing it Continental fumes from my tyres... but "ph'ers" all too quickly have a go at younger people in "lesser" cars doing the same....[/soapbox]

They're in the region of £1,600 plus deposit for a trip like that (for the cheapest).

And you'd need to be at least 25, if not 30!


I have some footage taken from the armco along the Mulsanne about 500 yds before the Chineese. Taken about 01.00 Sunday morning. Can I email it to some one as I have no idea how/where to host it?

I must have been there the same time as you. You didn't show any footage of the land rover going round the roundabout. He was running so wide that everybody was taking a few steps back.

And I got some footage of Focus man at the houx/houx annexe entrance. After wheelspinning a good 100ft with the handbrake pulled on, he parked in annexe and said 'thank you Hertz.'

He arrived after I did my bit in the Cerb and was parking up.

As I arrived with the video he was on his last two laps - thankfully!
