Re: SIDC 9th June

In case anyone isn't keeping an eye on the TrackScotland or PH sites and wants to see some in-car video, here are a few clips from the day. I've kept the footage to times with other cars on track - I guess there's not much interest in just pounding round an empty track. http://youtu.be/Sxwz7UuemSM J...

Re: SIDC at Knockhill - Saturday 17th September

Just posted this up on PH, but not sure if the Elise folks are regulars there... Thanks for organising again John – another great session, and Knockhill again living up to its 4-seasons-in-one-day reputation. A few wee videos that have other cars in the frame. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-WrBIUfZ...

Re: SIDC at Knockhill - 11th June

Another fun session on track; thanks to John for organizing. Not a Loti driver, but here's a few in-car videos showing the changing weather from dry :D to damp :? to wet :( I cut the clips to ones with traffic as I guess no-one wants to see laps on an empty track. The first one is in the dry and inc...

Wow that's impressive with the rear camera, speed & revs and the circuit map. Some quick laps too, and it looked like you were being held up a little?

Re: SIDC - Knockhill, Saturday 18th September 9-1pm

For folks who don't lurk around the Scoobies newsgroup, here's a copy of the links to the in-car footage I just posted up. I cut out lots of just pounding round an empty (or emptyish) trach and picked bits with lots of other cars. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ll5lE5qNxGE Scoobys, ELises and 7s, pl...

Re: All day trackday at Knockhill on 15th July 2010

I think a full day at KH would become a bit boring after the first couple of hours! Half day , or two hour sessions are more than enough there, much as I love Knockhill!! Totally agree. Actually it was a really good session, apart from the weather - but it was KH after all. The day went by real qui...

Re: SIDC at Knockhill 10th July

Sorry about the wee stoppage late in the session; gremlins in the fuel pump electricals. Probably water-related as a wee shoogle on the connections seemed to get it all going again. Good day though - rather have had it dry but the damp keeps the old reflexes up :shock: I hope the low numbers this ti...

Re: SIDC at Knockhill, Saturday 19th September

Was a good day, well run as always. Seemed to be a lot of black flagging going on today, first time I have ever really seen them use that at KH, any idea what any of them were for? Again, top day 8) :thumbsup -Mark. There was a red Fiesta that was fairly eratic on the bends and went off onto the gr...

Re: Dreadnought Track evening - Thurs 27 August

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGHGgV7H2FA By the way, my gear changes are: I also use just 3 gears: 5-4-3-4-5-3-4-5 with a 3.62 final drive. I sometimes use 3rd at the Chicane and Clarks but find the extra gear change spoils any advantage - the same with hairpin and 2nd gear. But then the Duratec ...

Re: Dreadnought Track evening - Thurs 27 August

TVrolet, :welcome It was good to see you on track. I am sure I've seen you at KH a number of times before. What's the spec? It's based on a retired TVR Tuscan Challenge racer. The chassis and running gear remain original. The body started off as the racer's too, but I 're-created' quite a bit of it...

Re: Dreadnought Track evening - Thurs 27 August

Well that was wet :) A monsoon started when I was putting the car on the trailer I was got soaked to the skin. Ended up stripping off in the pick-up and driving home in just pants and bare feet. Went real canny for the first few laps (too canny really), but at the red flag stoppage fulled up and ran...

Re: SIDC at Knockhill, Saturday 8th August

Hi just got the hang of this youtube stuff and added a 10-minute in-car video on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNAhZV8Kg4k Maybe posted in the wrong place here, but feel free to move it. Loads of Loti in the footage, plus scoobies, evo, BMW, Clio, Seat etc. First time I tried out the el cheapo came...
