Folks,
OK, its done. The clip is about 3 minutes 40s and includes footage from the paddock of cars there, and cars/entering leaving the circuit (Ta Dale), in/on car footage from my setup on the Roadster, and still photos from cars on the track and in the paddock.
Thanks to Michael Canny and Mark Nias for allowing me to use their photos.
When creating the files, feedback was that most people were on broadband and weren't too worried about filesize so I've produced two very high quality versions which are 38MB in size - one with music, one without, and one at VHS quality which is half that size.
High resolution clips with music:

High Resolution clip without music (its the same size)
http://www.imoc.co.uk/users/BenF/Elving ... _music.wmv
VHS quality clip For those on dialup or slower connections -14MB:

NB - If you have a dialup connection, it will take ~90 minutes to download the VHS quality link.
If you don't have a fast net connection, I can burn these to a CD and put it in the post to you in the UK if you buy a IMOC Sticker Pack at the same time - see the General section for more info.

1min 27s - peak rate of 3.2Mbps ( downloaded it at work )
Excellent video ! =D> ( and the first still at the beginning was a good choice )

Loving the Mk3, I've tried the ar$e out thing in my mk2 tubby and usually ended up facing the wrong way

Re: Finished IMOC footage from Elvington
excellent video, even in the lower quality mode.
Could do with an hour of it !!!!
Perhaps you could put everything you took on a dvd and flog it on here?

Ta! You've got a nice fast link for that then
Yours was a very nice 'clean' Mk1 hence the early feature in the video. I tried to get a balance of Mk1 / Mk2 / Mk3s in the footage - there were fairly even numbers of each type on the track.
When I 'tested' downloading it from home (2Meg Cable) it was coming in at 50k a second - took a few minutes to arrive.

You just need more practice
It is possible to powerslide the Mk2 around, and having a mk2 with a Limited slip diff makes it even easier - some Mk2 Turbos would have had one fitted as a factory option.
If you don't have a LSD you can get the back end out (eg Lauren's Red Mk1 in the pics ) but you have to provoke it by lifting off and turning in sharply, early.
My 2003 Roadster on 2001 alloys (tyres are narrower on the rear) is great fun and very nicely balanced - you can make it oversteer by using power mid-bend (or spin if you lift off!) or you can provoke it like I do part way through that clip - early, sharp turn in with a lift and then back on the power - but I made a dogs dinner of recovering it and I carred a little too much speed into the next corners - or it was the rear tyres massively overheated losing grip.
Huge fun though But the tyres were down to the cord by the end of the day - there was ~ 3mm of tread there at the beginning of the day, but I didn't mind as I had another set of part-worn tyres to go on

I've got loads of footage - the stuff that went onto that clip was just a few random extracts of stuff that looked interesting/good. I'll be putting up more clips (eg one lap, goonage, clips of other cars from the camera) next weekend.
Re: Finished IMOC footage from Elvington
Coming down at a healthy 230kb/sec here - I'm getting excited
Re: Finished IMOC footage from Elvington
Ben, that's abolutely awesome stuff! Great editing, and some really good footage too.

Woo, there I go!
Yay, footage of me.. admittedly on a dull bit of the track, and not doing anything spectacular, but.. yay

Heh, there were three Lagoon Blue Roadsters that I saw - I've got some footage of us all together at some point

Yup - there was you with the hardtop on, me with the roof down and chrome TTE style bar, and there was at least one other which always had the soft top up..

Re: Finished IMOC footage from Elvington
Just watched it again, and spotted that it's me accelerating away from the pits in front of you - I didn't realise how much smoke my car chucks out under boost, but at least its black ( ie. overfuelling ) rather than blue ( oil ).
Once again, excellent video =D>

I think it might be our SC - it does that at the moment.
Top Vid btw, will have to get a camera sorted out at some point!

Yup - from the wonky 'stinger' aerial, to the exhaust cowling falling off underneath, i'm pretty sure that is mine and Speedy's sooty SC...
