2012 24hour Video Links

[Maxx]

As i've uploaded a few videos from the race, mostly onboard, I thought i'd start a specific thread to contain video links.

I'll kick off with this one to give everyone some idea what it was like to drive during the huge downpour we had around 3am. This video has the last racing lap before the Safety Car was called and the last lap under the Safety Car before the race was red flagged.

And heres my opening lap. Caught out by the very slow pace of the rolling start but soon started making places up ... then my windscreen steamed up, really bad for a few laps and there are a couple of near misses in there. Still got passed a few but is was scarey stuff for a while until the temperatures aligned and the screen cleared. We do have a fan but it wasn't sufficient for these early laps.

I put together a short video of the Drivers Pitlane Parade which is always a high point of the event for me, not just as it's the end of 24hrs fun and exciting racing but also as it sees everyone show their appreciation for the drivers AND THE CARS. I also added a small clip of Team Stinky's Smokey Finish and our Finish.

Most cars that entered the race should be in there somewhere.

Also as a bit of a laugh for my Racing School buddies I posted a very short clip of one of numerous full opposite lock drifts through turn 1 (Riches).

One of the jobs I do is work for a Track Driving Experience company doing Hi-Speed Passenger rides for members of the Public. For the most part this is in a 450bhp, 6.7Ltr, V8 Supercar (Chevy Lumina/Holden Commodore) which is about as far from a 2CV as you could get.

We are "expected" to put it sideways and drift which with 450bhp and no T/C is not that difficult, this clip just shows you don't need BHP or RWD to drift LOL.
