This last weekend a few of us rented the Fabi layout of the Shannonville road course in Ontario. We had all had a blast and I tried out my home made camera mount for the first time. The results came out very nicely. I took about 2 hours of total footage and this is one of the best runs. This was my first time running this layout so I had a tough time when I was leading the group. We had 8 MCSs and a WRX.

In the video we alternated taking the lead playing cat & mouse. Both the drivers you see in the video are amazing, the dark silver driver has over 14,000 km under his belt at Shannonville alone! (Ex-formula Ford Racer). Both of them were incredibly smooth. I was keeping up fairly well until I nailed a cone exiting out of turn One. Dragged it all the way to turn 3, you can see it sitting in the middle of the turn when I come around during my last lap. I've got a long way to go to get to their level cause you can tell I was getting tired mentally and making small mistakes.

I'll post pics of my mount setup later on tonight (it cost me CN$10). Hope you all enjoy the video. Let me know your thoughts.

It's a 29mb streaming quicktime file so make sure you have enough bandwidth
If it doesn't work try again in a couple of minutes as someone is probably downloading it

The Great Chase!

Cool video. What is the clicking sound you hear at times right beofre you enter a turn?

 

The clanking noise is my passenger seatbelt flapping with the wind. I forgot to buckle it in. Thank god nothing was loose

cheers,

nice video, what type of camera did you use and how did you mount it?

 

Used my uncles Sony Digital Camcorder. It's really nice and small. I made the mount myself. I'll take a pic of it tonight and post it. Cost me CN$10 to make.
