Video shot on saturday, we were allowed passengers so old mate held the camera and I was driving.

NOTE: noise cancellation on my camera means that as the noise level in the car rises (such as when I'm on a straight at 150km/h+) reduces the recorded noise to practically a whisper, so thats why the video gets quiet in places.

Very impressive Ian, thanks for sharing.

You don't have a set up for a permanent attachement of a cam in the car?

I enjoyed it, although I would have liked to hear the roar of the engine and other noises as the speed increased...

Good driving technique, but you were obviously not going flat out in racing mode, right?

First lap of the day and as you could see various parts of the track were still wet, so they warned us to take it easy early on...probably driving about 80% in this clip. By the 6th lap we were going pretty flat-out, so much so that by the end of our 12 laps we came in with the brakes smoking necessitating a change of front brake pads and a bleed-out and replacement of the brake fluid.

Proper camera mount to follow, and yes it does sound good on full song down the straights, so time to re-train the camera.

Hi Ian, great video clip - very interesting how you made up ground on the cars ahead of you when it came to braking and cornering ! I was also surprised (a little) how the blue car seemed to accelerate away from you coming out of the corner. Maybe a case of the 450 missing a lower gear, such as a four speed box would provide ?

I could just hear a little of the noise of the engine etc. - very impressive. Thanks for sharing. Regards Styria
