..and another clip from my last day at Croft, Toyo 888s on the back proving a little more grippy than the worn out slicks in the previous Croft vids (mostly! )
Chasing a Duratec Westy round Croft

Well, it's been a wet day!

Nice vids, but what's with the American style background music, I would have thought most car fans prefer the sound of the engine. Just an observation.

Ah, I like Andy's wierd and wonderful production (I've not looked at these yet mind you.) The other thing is bad engine/wind noise (See Road Warrior's race vids for example) is just painful.

Edit to ask if Peter takes musical requests?

2nd Edit to say Look at this!! OMG.

I suspect that one of the following is true:

1. Mike built into cam and all you get is wind noise.
2. Youtube encoding messes with the engine noise. Depending upon encoding format youtube can ruin the engine soundtrack.
3. Andy has v poor taste in music

I use a remote mic in the passenger footwell. Works well enough.

Great vids - I'm sure you've spotted it, but in the second one your oil pressure is dropping off and the light coming on in a bend on [at 2 mins 44.]
