oooh ouchie

Here's another video for you.  This was near the end when it was getting really icy, so there's lots of flailing arms and flying elbow action.  Putfile.com only allows clips less than 10MB, so I had to cut this one into two parts.

Hmm, yes.  I remember requiring ALL Lanark Highland Winter Rally entrants to be an affiliated member, and you assured me you were, or were very soon to be. So against my own rules I let you run, but that was two years ago.  I see you have never joined a club.  I still feel duped.  Nikola, please support the grassroots clubs (like MLRC) with a membership that offer you these great events in a great sport!

Back to the technical...
I haven't played with on board cameras, but IN the car I think a more narrow view might make it look faster.  This is because in a wide view IN the car, there is a lot of image that is stationary.  Only a small part of the visual area is in motion.  OUTSIDE the car, like a low bumper cam, wider will probably make it look faster for the reasons Ferd mentioned.  It's all about perception.

At the MCO RG meeting we just watched on-board from Clarke/Gamblin, finished a close 2nd in Modern at Targa.  VERY fast car/driver. Good interior wide shots, no way did it ever look as fast as they were actually going (200+ sometimes).  Very deceptive.

edit: nothing to see here, carry on

yup, it got really messy as I had different handles on different forums, so I asked admins to help me change them all to my first name... this way when we meet, there's less confusion (and people don't try to pronounce Zweistein and call me that ).

... 'course, the best laid plans of mice and men... it might have become more confusing for the first little while  

edit: btw Craig and I cleared the mistaken identity issue over e-mail... 'tis all cool now

Just wanted to thank all of you for the videos. They help when you're explaining the rally to someone unfamiliar with our sport. BTW, OWR has the best roads I've ever run in a TSD rally and it was a blast. I'm afraid it will make the tougher rallies here in Michigan seem like driving down the freeway at 10mph! It was weird running a TSD where I was over 30 seconds behind at times with nothing but the road slowing me that much! In case you're wondering I was in the Jeep Cherokee. Can't wait until next years event.

It is tough explaining the excitement of our sport to others - saying "Gee Whiz, the CAS was 62kph on that section!!!", everbody's face goes blank "oh... ok". Going average of 60 just doesn't sound very interesting;) And of course, the videos sometime make it seem that we're taking a grocery drive, which combined with the insane expectations of Solberg & Loeb style all-out racing, unfailingly bring dissapointment to the listeners...

Ah well... we know we're having a good (if occasionally dramatic) time  

no worries... we'll be bringing up the rear again, with the hook at the ready!
