Mad Pierre · 19 May 2007 at 22:36

Not as quick as some of the folk on here. I've got to get the nankang tyre off soon for better rubber.

Megane Coupe @ Nurburgring - Lap 4

megane Coupe @ the ring - lap 3
Car was a 1997 Megane Coupe BTW.

And I do know about the filming ban

They are both the same video, but it's in the list anyway..

Mad Pierre · 19 May 2007 at 22:42

Edited, what a Fool - LOL.

I make the lap 10:47-10:48.

That's the thing I've found with in-car vids is that no matter what I've tried, or where I've put it, I cannot accurately get the sensation of speed to transfer to the video. If it wasn't for the tyre squeal on some of the corners you wouldn't have realised you are near the cars/tyres limits.

Good video though, it's a shame that they have banned them now.

Can I ask you what your video setup was?

The cam set-up it's a home made wooden clamp type bar, with a standard cam mount, that you get, with outside cam for CCTV. this is fitted to the upright's on the headrest, Driver's side or pass, it work's on both.

Only drove it twice; once in ST220 and once in the ZaffyBus.

Many laps in those cars though.

probably a bit inexperienced though nice video though

Townlea · 20 May 2007 at 23:17

That time can be improved a fair bit

Those 2.0ltre are very torque' near the top end.

Gave my ST220 a run for its money upto 120-130
