Video of WET Donington Final 2006

Hi all

I've just uploaded some video to YouTube from my car at Donington, 17 Sept 2006. It was a very wet race and most of the cars were on a dry set-up so it was fairly hectic (it's the race where Brian Mitcham ended up inverted)

I started from the back of the grid following a prang in qualifying.

It comes in 2 parts.

Brilliant, i was on tender hooks just watching it.
Where did you finish in the end?
I loved the way you just had to go for the orange car at the last chicane, a touch more grip and you may well have done it, damn unlucky
Great 18mins of racing though well done

That was superb!

If F1 was more like that I might even watch it!

I use a bullet camera bolted to the rollcage which feeds into a camcorder with AV-in. The camcorder lives in a padded box for protection. If you have any spare cash after your build I'd invest in a camcorder set-up as you'll remember a lot more about the race afterwards.

When are you planning to start racing?

Finished 19th in the end, but would have been around 15th had I not spun early on and overshot at the end of the straight.


I love Donington and I think it has a really good collection of corners and a lot of safe run-off areas.

More vids to follow.....
