MotorsTV live raceday from Donington this weekend

I know this is the trackday forum but where do you put non 750 club race stuff. Most trackdayers appreciate a bit of racing eh!

My lad Pete is racing in the Honda Vtec challenge at Donington this weekend. Quallifying Saturday afternoon, and first race bright and early Sunday, 9am! If he survives the first race, the second one is at 4-15. The Vtecs have been amalgamted with the Boss Fords. (Races 8 & 21 on the timetable)

The meeting is being transmitted live by Motors TV on Sunday afternoon from about 12 I think.. Obviouusly the morning race won't be shown live, but hopefully they'll record it.

There's a timetable, and live timing available on the day here:

Pete's Civic is No 67 and looks like this:




Wish us luck!

Had a really good weekend, the weather was unbelievably kind to us. All three sessions on track were cold but dry. Others were not so lucky!

Pete came away with two class 2nds, both 7th overall.. and apparrently some TV appearances to boot! (Not seen it yet)

He seemed to end up battliing with a blue 2lt Focus in both races.

I watched the highlights last night, and they've chopped a lot out. The Civic appeared quite a lot, but I don't think the commentators knew who was driving!

On board vids from Sunday are up now.

First race:




Second race:

He'd never driven Donington for six years so was a little rusty in race one. We have a data logger in the car, and in race two when he eventually found the balls to go flat down the Craner curves he was doing 113mph. I think that's quite incredible for a 1.6 hatchback.

An appeal. Has anyone got Sundays Motors TV footage recorded? I've only seen the highlight show, and it was well edited.. cut in half I reckon. So, next Q, can anyone who has recorded it put the Vtec / Boss Ford race onto some sort of disc?

Don't even know if it's possible with today's magic black boxes.

i've still got it as i still haven't watched it all yet. haven't got a clue about getting it on a disc for you though. will try and find out if its doable later after i've put my motor in.
its on a sky box if anyone knows how to do it.

Dont let Mrs Bigfoot record Coronation street over it. (Good luck with the motor)

Anyone know if it's possible to transfer sky box recordings onto a disc, dvd or what??

i think if i had a dvd recorder it would be easy.
it may be possible to get it onto my laptop but it sounds a bit more complicated to do.
