Rockingham looks very technical, and also I can see lots of concrete, steel, and tyres in very close proximity to the course :pale:

yep i have and want to get it online..
but i need to look at a way of shortening it.. (around 18 mins long at mo) but when i use go-pro software i loose a lot of the detail in the vid just want something that can shorted a mp4a vid
rather than converting it like the go pro software does, then converts it back again

Upload it to YouTube and then you can use the online editor to shorten it :)

Brands on monday looking forward to that..

But my plans now for the TSS have changed completely
Plans were to moce to C-Pro strip the car and enjoy the next class up.. but its a small group, only 2 other people.. 1 of them maybe moving to time attack and not attending every event
the other (Chris) has sold his car and can no longer afford to do it.. so i am bit stuck what to do

stay and run another year in c-street
try and find a rev3 turbo engine and bung it in mine and leave all interior in and join the massive A-street class consiting of about 10 gt4s
or strip bung the turbo in mocve to A-pro,
or try and find a cheap turbo car and move all the parts over...

hmmmm some thinking to do

This would get my vote. Take your time choosing one as you are in no rush, you can transplant the suspension goodies and sell the rev5 for fair money...
