From Knockhill a few weeks ago.

 

I woz there. It was a great event. Good stages and lots of incident. Check out the course car. It was a Tomcat with a 5litre supercharged TVR engine.

 

bttt as it's on in 20 minutes

enjoy chaps

Cal

 

Ta, would have missed it otherwise

 

Looks great fun and great driving. Some nice camera angles as well. No side mounted stuff though. Going to try out some more new camera angles at Knockhill tomorrow night on an evening track session from 6-8pm.

 

That programme was flat four heaven ! Commentary was a tad lame though. Was great to see the Scoobs take the tarmac course in reverse........

Iain,

I'll see you on the 13th as i cannot make it tommorow....Have fun

Cal

 

Some good shots of opelcorsa. PUSH FASTER Davie!

 

it made exciting tv, well done

we saw all those cars the day before at the glenvarigill day, we were parked behind the entire McKinstry Motorsport team and their scoobies at the services on the way up

 

it was the mutt's nuts...........

 

**** - I missed it

 

Cal did you tape it as I was tucked up in bed by then

 

Sorry mate I didn't

Cal

 

****, I replied back to you on the Jap Perf forum so just ignore it.

I am waiting for James to get in and see if he did.

 

nice footage and some great drifting action, but the commentary was poor!

might go along next year!

 

The crash sequence at the end was a laugh. Especially as an old friend of mine sliced up his blue astra on an oil drum.

 

Flamesuit on

The best bit was seeing a 18 year old Metro win...

I like living dangerously...

 

yeah i spotted that one, opened it up like a freakin tin can
gotta laugh at the scort losing its wheel as well

 

Foz01, the commentary was poor, yes I agree but it wasn't the fault of Allan Douglas. Lets face it, he didn't have much to work with did he. It must have been the worst filmed rally event I've ever seen. Each car was only on the screen for a few seconds before they cut to the next car. I blame the director. There was not enough "in car" shots, too much close up, bad camera angles etc. It wasn't a big stage so they could have shown the stage in it's entirety at the start of the program. As it was, it got me a wee bit disoriented (no wait that might have been the drink).

 

I didn't think it was too bad. I watched the Men+Motors rallycross coverage and that is terrible. I did like the interviews on the UK coverage. You got to see the real people and not just the cars.

 

it would have been a bit better if they followed 1 car at a time thru the stages, got a little confusing with the camera jumping between 5 different scoobs at 1 time.

 

Zeolite, i was pushing as fast as i could god those 205s are heavy,the camera lens made my suit look bigger than it actually is!!

 

Seen you in action Davie, that big lad that was driving should have got out and gave you a hand!I saw myself on screen for about 2 tenths of a second when they were interviewing Gary Adams about his puncture then they cut to something else.
All in all though it was a good day of scooby action!

 

Dave I was laughing my A**e off whn I saw you out pushing the 205, sorry neebs but I was busy saying to her indoors " oh look thats the car Dave was co-piloting" and next thing you jump out and push it LOL.
Thought it was a good watch overall(missed the first 10 mins or so though) , commentry was cack but at least we got a differant type of motorsport on TV so cant be a bad thang really.
Oh and how quick were that going the wrong way around the hairpin WOW
Spooks

 

The camera angle didn't really show it but the cars were on two wheels when they came round Duffus the wrong way. Very spectacular.

So it was the camera angle then Davie. Sure!

 

When we did the UKRC2 2 years ago we clipped a tyre on the way up duffers dip and rolled the Nova...Doh.

Pictures available if somebody can post em 4 me?
