Aintree Circuit Trackday Video, May 2005

I’m afraid that due to issues with recoding some of my videos to this website’s flash player I’ve had to stick with the Google Video system for some videos, at least for the time being.

A lap of the Aintree club circuit. It’s a classic little circuit in the old school format - ie, fast, open, and good fun if like me you prefer your circuits to be a test of balls rather than a test of your ability to tiptoe around chicanes!

Donington Park Trackday Video, November 2005

This one’s with thanks to the Goldtrack Driving Club who I do most of my trackdays with. Towards the end of the day I’d been improving my speed around the circuit when I spied a Ferrari 360 Competizione Stradale ahead, riding slicks, and going well. But I felt that with just that little effort I’d be able to catch up.

But just to bring me down a peg after passing it, on the next lap I was catching up with a Mini Cooper - race prepared, but nonetheless, I felt it should have been easier to catch!

The very first video posting on the new format website - a fine display of what can go wrong when you forget that a full fuel load will affect your car’s handling.

I also learned that my reaction to narrowly missed disaster is to laugh about it….
