Video of the Week

Caterham at Oulton

Rather liked this video. Not so much for the driving, which is perfectly fine if not especially edgy, but the telemetry on-screen. I want a system like this! Does anyone know who makes it?
PS. I wasn’t paying attention and titled this as Donington. Now corrected to show Oulton but I’ve left [...]

The Rising Bollard

Not really motorsport, but it *is* car related, so it gets included.
I’ve always felt that rising bollards were dangerous - don’t know they’re there and follow a bus accidentally down the road and the penalty is rather severe.  However, there are idiots too and maybe they deserve it!

God Save The Queen! (Petrol Sniffer Style)

No, we’re a patriotic bunch here in Blighty. Stiff upper lip and all that, what! But in motorsport we’re not known for our pomp. Just gets in the way of the Castrol, I say!

Motorsport Video of the Week #3

C’etait un rendez-vous.
This movie was created by Claude Lelouch in 1976. It caused scandal at the time, and he was arrested for the driving although released without charge.
I’ve posted it because although not strictly motorsport it’s well done (even if the soundtrack is dubbed) and it’s in one of my favourite cities.

Motorsport Video of the Week #2

Second in a series of humorous, interesting or scary motorsport videos I’ve found on the internet. All I’ll say is that trees are hard, but for at least one person involved in this crash it was probably a good thing.

You can also view this clip on Google Videos.
