The only thing i`ve got to downsize the vid is windows movie maker and it won`t play Chris.t or Dico`s footage cause it`s the wrong format :roll:

if you get a vid then PM Tony cause I'm sure we could put it on the site and link to it . . . even if it is only temporary.

How do you downsize a vid.?.
The one I have from my race around the Ring is a 226 MB Mpeg, and it is way to large to send as a mail.

Delta,
You really must try to set a better lap time so that you can get the video down to a manageable size. :wink:

Now you'll just have to go back again next year and try harder.

John :-D

PS. One of these days (?Donington?) I hope to see some of these Nurburgring videos.

Thanks Chris. Viewed my copy today, great footage

The clip of Stef prancing round the bonfire singing voodoo songs was a beaut! :-D

P.s, I've spoken to a guy on here today that timed his lap at less than 10 minutes!
Step forward sir

Less than 10 min.?. From where to where will that be.?.

As per TopGear the timing is usually taken from the bridge (just after you join) around until the Gantry (on the start finish straight).

Clarkson did it in 9:59 i think it was. (Diesel S type Jag)

Sabine 10:08 (Transit Van)

Oh- if so, I think I got around under 10 as well.
Did'n time it, but according to the time line on my video it seems to be 9:53.

Well, the clock on the video might be wrong. :roll:

Jim, do you also have a timeline on your video. :?:

Could be great fun to compare the different sections, to see where we was gaining or loosing time. :burnout:

Looking forward to recive the DVD. Any idea when it is ready for release. :?:

What a lap that was and was well impressed with Jim`s drving, something i`ll never forget :smt023

and would of been slightly quicker if Jim didn`t have to slow down for that incident :roll:

what more do u want, an accident a recovery truck and a van/bus and having fun with a bike lol

Thanks for the Pax ride :-D

ps u`ll have to get a mic for next time so we can hear those tyres squeeling

Have been running both your an my video in 2 diff. viewers at the same time. And what a race. :!:

Just super.

In the beginning you gain a litle but loose a lot due to the accidente site.
A litle later I'm hold up in some trafic, but from 1/3 of the ring we are side by side, we both have a clear run's, and the video's are just like sycronised watchses, none of us gaining or loosing more than a few meters, and we both cross the gantry spot on. We even follow the same line when ever possible.

Only major difference is that I don't have nice music to follow the action, only the mourning sound from the tyres.

Good run Jim, could'n have done it better my self. :wink:

Cheers Delta, nice of you to say....

by **Doug** » Mon 25.09.2006, 23:54

EXCELLENT VIDEO --that's what I was looking for!

what's with all that graffiti in white on the track -- it doesn't look like accident markings? I didn't think people could get out there to do graffiti ? ? ?

also what was the camera set-up and way it was recorded? :wink:

by **chris.t** » Tue 26.09.2006, 07:57

is there any chance at all that we could get deltas footage put in video on Jims video and synchronised obviously :-D

Doug, its a bit like they do at the tour de france on the mountain stages - write peoples names etc. it only happens where the track passes close to public access poits though.

[edit] don't bother putting my footage on cos it will make the video too long[/edit]
