OK so after much trial and error and working out why it was taking 9 hours to upload 33% of a video. I have now got a handle on the basics of video editing and YouTube. So short trip around this superb circuit here, [SIZE=5] [COLOR=#444444][SIZE=3][URL="http://youtu.be/gfT9Xfggmi4"]http://youtu.be/gfT9Xfggmi4[/URL][/SIZE][/COLOR] [/SIZE] Before anybody comments, my apologies for the background music, note to self, switch off CD when recording. :o Or if anybody wants to see how an instruction session works it can be found here [SIZE=3] [/SIZE][COLOR=#444444][URL="http://youtu.be/27B7gsXoWxI"][SIZE=3]http://youtu.be/27B7gsXoWxI[/SIZE][/URL] [/COLOR] Any feed back would be welcome.

Nice video's, good qaulity too, how did you mount your camera? I had my brakes go there too, bit of a brown trouser moment not to be repeated :eek:

Hi Tom, I used a headrest camera mount I got from Hague&Co, have a look here, [URL="http://www.cameragrip.co.uk/acatalog/hague_chm_camcorder_headrest_mount.html"]http://www.cameragrip.co.uk/acatalog/hague_chm_camcorder_headrest_mount.html[/URL] I realised how well you were going by the end of day, you may have noticed on the short video on the last lap you are in the distance and there was no way I was going to catch you:D I didn't actually loose my brakes, more like my marbles :( . It is a classic mistake I often warn newcomers about, when following a car into a corner look at the road and forward, not the car in front. So as soon as he came off the brakes so did I, but I hadn't scrubbed enough speed off and it was when I looked at the road I realised I wasn't going to make it. Hence my explanation and Chris saying "Yes you missed your braking point" Still it was good to meet you for the first time and hope you can come play with us again in the not too distant future

[b]Croft Video.[/b] Hi Martin , If I had known it was the Stiq behind me I would have let you passed earlier.;) ;) But honestly, a very good video, it was interesting to see where I was going wrong. ( or more to the point the 1 or 2 that I was getting right.) Cheers Trevor. :) :) :)

Hi Martin, Sorry for the very very very slow reply, completely forgot I posted :P Thanks, the car is pretty good through corners, was a fantastic day, I hope to attend more of your track days this year. It's very true people are incredibly nice and a wealth of knowledge they are more than willing to share if you have a question and it is intoxicatingly addictive :P Ta for the link to the camera, would be nice to have some footage to show folk how good this track malarky is :P
