Chris Wilson Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 Out take of an onboard camera vid on my Zeus at Donington last week. BIG 100 megs download. Car is wider than it looks, must be camera lens thing. More Supras needed on track days. Bring `em on! http://gatesgarth.com/me_at_donington.mpg I'd do a file : Save as. Quicktime doesn't seem to like it for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 Yup, more Supras needed, but with most of them being autos I dont think their owners will bother. Nice video Chris, bit short but it looks fun, a nice clear track is always nice to see! Do you have any pics of what you're driving? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris aka fonz Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 Do you go to Donno often Chris ? I go farely often , would be good to meet up there ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted August 3, 2005 Author Share Posted August 3, 2005 Do you go to Donno often Chris ? I go farely often , would be good to meet up there ! At the last rough count I have done around 5000 laps of Donington and about 9000 of Oulton, so yes, I go quite a lot Mainly track days now, but I keep my licence up to date. Work prevents a seasons racing for the forseeable future I'm afraid. Let me know when you are there next. I have booked a noisy day with Bookatrack sometime in August I think. Car needs a gearbox rebuild, it ate 3rd gear last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Cool video! Great to see it at last. Did it give you any more clues as to what went on with the g/box? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted August 3, 2005 Author Share Posted August 3, 2005 Ther's about 18 laps on the whole vid, but they started playing music over the engine sound in the latter stages, so no clue. At least it hides me missing a gear.... Thanks for your help with all matters DVD. Appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Nice The aspect ratio is right for a telly and wrong for a PC screen, that's why it looks squashed on the PC. Surely you could have got more kerb time though -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
attilauk Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 great vid, the Zeus looks like a right laugh we definately need more supras on track, it doesn't matter if they are auto or manual they make superb track cars! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted August 3, 2005 Author Share Posted August 3, 2005 It doesn't harm them, either. My old auto MKIV did COUNTLESS track days, and it was driven as hard as it would go on every one of them. last I heard (a few weeks back) it was still going strong with a new owner on this board. So get them out there, far less trauma to the car than poncing about on the drag strip for a few seconds in straight line...Far better value for money. May get you into doing some proper racing if you enjoy it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Damn you Wilson! At Ten of the Best I found myself rather enjoying the handling circuit and wished for more laps as I *knew* I could go so much faster as I learnt the track. Now I feel urges for track days but didn't want something to break now the car is sooooo spot on and wuvverwy. And you say it's not that bad. I can feel my willpower crumbling... -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May get you into doing some proper racing if you enjoy it! Totally agree, 1/4 mile is great fun but track racing is so much better and makes you appreciate the car a lot more. I just wish tracks in this country were more accessible, most of them seem closed to the general public except when you have to pay lots, the only cheaper weekends/days seem to be reserved for car clubs/track day specialists.
