MX5nutz / mx5oc drift day 2006

No handed drifting 3.1mb
Taking my hands off the wheel mid doughnut. I'm such a poseur.

Anglesey 2005

Anglesey gooning 1.4mb
A lap of anglesey speeded up in places to show how sideways I could drive around anglesey.

Jonny's lotus and my MX-5

Encounter 16mb
A bit of fun, the background music is Brain Stew by Greenday.

USA 2004

Panamint Valley F18 Jet 1.7Mb
An amazing flypast by an F18 jet that will live with me forever.

Bellagio Fountains; Star Spangled Banner
The Bellagio fountains perform this at midnight everynight. A wider lens is needed for the full effect. This doesn't compare to being there at all. Note people clapping at the end.

Bellagio Fountains; This Kiss (part)
Note; when the big jets fire, the first drip goes full height accompanied by a bang. If you pause at 20 seconds you can see that the last drip is given less power such that there is a line of water with a top and a bottom all falling as one. Fantastic engineering.

Japfest 2003

Japfest May 2003 4.7Mb
A few laps from the 10am session at castle coombe. I'm the first car that passes.

Curborough 2003

Late braking 828k
How not to take the bottom hairpin. Note: Mum in passenger seat! Also use of handbrake to get round.

Final turn goon 1474k
How to take the top corner when you know your time is pants. Also not the wiggle through the chicane.

Sesh2 6.4Mb
My second session, the one with my mum in the car. Features duct cam, about 10cm off the floor.

Sesh3 5.4Mb
My third, final and fastest session. Features door cam, try to ignore all lines through the last corner. There are many demonstrated, all wrong.

Trackdays

Trax 2003 2.2 Mb
I got distracted by the action behind, and missed my braking point going into club. Ooops

Donnington Dec '02 1.8 Mb
The busiest trackday I've ever been to.

Bruntingthorpe mid 2002 3.7 Mb
Distracted by Barry in his megabusa behind, I take this chicane a tad fast, and just about hold the 100mph slide. The thought through my head at this point was "don't over correct, don't overcorrect" and I didn't. Not only that, but I made the next bend ok. Barry overtakes shortly afterwards.

Goodwood 2001 1.7 Mb
The flukiest recovery ever.

Seighford 2002

Seighford christmas 02 10Mbish
First attempt at editing to music. Not too shoddy, but needs a bit of work.

Seighford 2002 1.8 Mb
The day before Donny, playing on an airstrip. The challenge here was to drive round the cone as close as possible. I bail out as I can't actually see the cone from the drivers seat on the last lap.
