In Car Circuit Videos

We went to The Noosa Hill Climb on the weekend, OMG. Ferrari on its side and wedged into the rocks, E Type fell off the hill out of sight, RX7 & Capri rolled over, 1600 head on into some blocks, Fury replica bluebird drilled some blocks. All the fore-mentioned cars need major repairs if not written off. the were several more offs into the fence but nothing like these.

It is a very challenging track and we will be heading back next year to go 1 better, not happy with 3rd.

I was being a bit arty with this clip, I'll endeavor to get a normal run or 2 up later.

Another great clip Noddy

I've always been interested in having a crack at it, but don't have an older car. How did you get in with a Skyline? False teeth?

Just smiled perdy.....

They have an invited class that you can enter and I got invited, I guess going to alot of the Street Sprints with them helps.

There is also the Tigh Cams round there in the middle of the year which should be easier to enter. I will keep an ear out and let you know when its open for entries, other sprint rounds as well if you like.

[Marlin]

Sounds good to me mate! Cheers

The Bluebird vid isn't there mate?

I really really wish to get out to Morgan Park, so if you could keep me in the loop that'd be fantastic

[Snowman]

I picked up my new VBox Lite last week and had a chance to play with it at the ATC event at Lang Lang on the weekend. Here's a couple of vids from the event - although you'll notice the "foot-cam" slowly gets moved as the day goes along so that still needs some work.

But overall I'm pretty impressed with it and its a nice step up from the POV1 (but I just wish is was in full wide-angle).

Anyways - Event 1 (Ride and Handling Course)

Event 2 - Skidpan

[Duncan]

lol im seasick from the sideways foot cam! still, good quality video

[NickR33]

yeah really nice video, lovin the speedo addition... Lang Lang looks like fun, that skidpan is huuuge... nice driving in the wet Snowy!

Here's some incar from the Sil80 at Lakeside last weekend, staring Marlin giving the KU36 a workout in the 32 and shooting a few flames after he passes me. I was struggling with brake problems, which isn't an excuse for Ben passing me, its... well you'll see...

[Roy]

Good wheel work in keeping it off the tyres and driving out of the trap...i cringed as i had flashbacks to my Sandown woopsie

Oh, and looking at your earlier vid...you were quicker without the gloves

[Marlin]

Funnily enough Harry said to me afterwards that he felt he was having a "Roy" moment

That was about 180klm/h when Harry spun in my estimation definately had my attention in the rear view mirror

[Roy]

... all the cool kids are doing it these days Its only hacks like me that try and mess up and hit stuff

[hrd-hr30]

well, that was my second spin there on the day so I had it pretty much down pat by then. i was reminded of your Sandown vid as I departed the track the first time backwards at high speed waiting for a sudden stop... But I didn't get that session on video...

I never really felt 'on it' last weekend. I was lifting in places I normally go flat without a second thought (like under the bridge) and I had to consciously make myself attack the corners. That's just not me. I think the 6 months of driving around in a AWD AYC car everyday, some of the gayness has rubbed off on me. Good thing its now sold!

[giant]

cool vid harry, man that place looks like fun!

[Marlin]

You'll never know Russ, you're scared of the place. Fudge packer.

[evil_weevil]

awsome vid Harry!!

[badhairdave]

looks like you have the rear suspension a bit better sorted now at least. There seemed to be a lot less oversteer in that vid.

[hrd-hr30]

yeah, the car felt alot better, but it was far too hot to expect any sort of decent time yesterday. At least the car never went over 90deg. Main changes were the whiteline adjustable radius arms (aka traction arms) in the rear and I spent about half a day with my home made bump steer rig setting them up. It was a massive eye-opener to see how bad it was at standard length! Also dropped springs rates down to 325lb F & 225lb R springs. That's about 6/4kg. previously 7/6kg.

You've gotta get out there next year Russ, its one of the best tracks around!

[Marlin]

Wish I was running in-car vid, so everyone could see your CORNER CUTS THAT SMASHED MY FARKING WINDSCREEN AND DENTED MY GTR BONNET! lolol
