Castle Combe track footage

Sorry no locost footage!

Just a bit of action from the Radical Clubsport which I help prepare in the Castle Combe Special GT Championship.

First time I've tried the Sony bullet camera on track, which worked quite well. The sound still needs a bit of work but I'm still playing with the setup.

Assuming the link below works the vid quality is better but the host is using high compression Grrr!

have you seen the other clip of ari vaternan in the 405 going up the pikes peak, what a driver! even uses one hand to bloke out the sun, now thats hardcore!!!

Not much chance of recovery either if he went off the edge. It looks like a VERY long way almost straight down.

Had to click on the link myself to work out the two previous replys.

Hmm nice to have Rob's (driver, my neighbour) driving efforts "related" to Ari's Peaks video on the host site

Good work, a nice bit of footage, flipping quick aren't they!!
Will be taking a ride out in the radical that I am spannering for at donington soon, and that's a bit more tweaky with a powertec 1500 busa in it.

Yep there was a dark Jade and it blew past Rob on the last lap then promptly disappeared over the horizon following another class 1 car!

Damn seats are too small for me to drive

We do have plans for an engine upgrade but first thing will be a wing and some front aero additions. The white Clubsport in the vid was usually faster around Camp until Simon made a mistake in the chicane which let Rob get a good tow.

there is another one with newer style bodywork about which is Mike Roberts, He's got a nissan v6 in his and I know he does the odd combe round.
