HI all .. posted this in general TVR rather than track days forum as not everyone who tracks a car reads that forum ..

I struggle to get pics of my V8S on track as most people like to take pics of sagaris, tuscans, T350s etc etc .. so if anyone has got any pics or video of my car I'd love to see them ..

many thanks.


*hopes there's more than one reply to this request hehehe

Hi there. yeh i was the only S there, quite rare as the S boys and girls are normally enthusiastic for track days .. I hope i held the S flag quite well and didn't disappoint the model's loyal following

Sorry to highjack your thread Joo, but my camcords seems to have gone tits up and all the footage is blurred. So if anybody has any footage of my Spetraflair Silver Tuscan running in the novice group, with either me or the wife driving, would there be any chance of a copy?

Nah the sagaris owners wimped out and ran in the intermediate group hehe

To be fair the saggy is so fast down the straights my 215bhp won't keep up

I was running on some 2 year old ex race kuhmos that Cliff gave me and the car was cornering quite nicely, so I had good fun anyway

I still cant shake the mental image of a V8s on a half turn of opposite lock out of tower, lining up for the next kill. evil

Was reviewing the first disc of video last night, converted it to .wmv format = 155Mb.
I'll edit to more sizeable chunks tomorrow but I have some footage of
Trackcar
ntel
Daftlad
YP (or Ray)
+ others not yet identified coming down the start / finish straight (shot from the pit wall)
There's some good vid from the windscreen mount of group 2 (Yellow)hehe
Will have edited & hosted by the w/e.

Got problems with the other 2 discs, file corruptions. They'll play back ok on the camera but won't copy or play on the pc??
I'll try again later with these.

I have pics and vid footage of most of you (vid = mainly yellow/red sessions) that will be up on my site soon.
usual gallery/vid pages. Images can be downloaded from there.

a cracking few laps behind the purple/blue saggy of HHC, well worth looking at.

Glad that you all had fun (and behaved yourselves) with only a couple of minor offs. Shows you are trying!

looking forward to the next one...Spa/Nurburgring in Oct driving

cheers

You too John, cracking cars you have there! seriously jealous on both counts.

I'm sure I have some footage of me passing you in the sag... at a vast rate of knots!

(problam is, that its obvious you are on a warm up lap! should have slowed abit so it looks like I took you clean )

John and Tony's Sags were in both groups. And I do seem to remember seeing you as a blur from Johns passenger seat as we passed you several times Jools.
