Here it is, somewhat reduced in quality due to Google:

http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...&q=MINI+Laguna

Track Video consists of the following: My own Personal Pics and Videos from 12-14-05, noone stars in this, just cars: MINIS

1. Pics in a slideshow of MINIs and related scenery and track cars with background music (First 4 minutes)

2. Forward Facing "Teaching" In-Car Videos of "Learning the Lines" ( Starts at 4:07 on Video) and another of "Getting to know the track" with 3 MINIs being followed-chased, one spins out but you see him slide sideways, oversteer in turn, then he goes off screen !!! (Starts at 6:36 in video)

3. Forward Chase Cam Video with passing of multiple MINIs (Starts At 11:44 in video)

4. Rear Facing Chase CAM with passing and getting chased HARD -with soft music, U2 "Vertigo" - VERY COOL (Starts at 17:01)

5. VacuCam Video with passing MINIs - Very COOL (Starts at 21:40 )

6. Forward Chase Video -following the Mini-Madness Yellow Monster, George himself at the Wheel (starts at 26 minutes)

7. Closing Pics and a short Video from a local track (Putnam Park, Indiana), passing Porsches and WRX at a HPDE on 10-01-05

great shots, and I like that you can hear comments from the instructor--one can always learn more!

Excellent video!

My one critique would be the music. You could have done with out it, or at least at lower level. I would much rather hear you (instructor) speak and hear the engine as it gives a clue as to what is going on with the car on the track and what the driver's input is at any given moment. My .02.

Thanks, I wanted to make it enjoyable to watch 30+ minutes !!!

The first 2 on track videos are mostly music free, you hear enough of my voice during that time to get the input you need on what I am doing with the car ... The car is MSFIT's JCW, so it is rather quiet, not a lot of SC scream

I'm glad you enjoyed it

When I first watched this with the rear monted camera I thought the car was going into a spin thru turn 1. Very nice.

I have to figure out how to mount a camera...

I used it on the Sparco race seats in this car, NO Problem

Thanks for the video it was great to be on that track again through your cameras lens. I would have loved to hear more of the instructor’s comments and less music, but nice video.

Well, the best scenario would have been IF an instructor was in the passenger seat and free to talk .... But this wasn't an instruction video either, it was for FUN

The "instructor" was driving and the students were in the passenger seat to watch the line and my driving, with some comments

Nice video, I liked hear the commentary, the radar detector cord seemed to serve two purposes:importance of through tech and G-meter. I liked the idea of the rear facing camera, it just made it real hard to see the next apex . All in all very cool , hope I get to great Laguna Seca someday.
