Well - somewhat later than expected - I've now pieced a video clip together of the Silverstone visit. Excuse the less than perfect camera work as it's been a while.. but the sound track is great...
Just to explain a little further, Martin's GTD shows some smoke occasionally which was not the engine, but an occasional 'rub' on the outside rear Blue-Streak tyre.. It only did it when there were two occupants and when driven very hard through right-handers.. Something that the instructor Mike Wilds managed repeatedly.
The clip also includes some footage of Bjorn's Viper - which Mike also drove, and flippin heck it was fast!!
Nadine was the lucky occupant as passenger and remarked afterwards that the experience was just awesome..
Anyway - click on the link below or 'right-click' and 'save-as' to save a copy to your own pc. The file is about 30MB in size (sorry) and I have a 125MB version which is much better quality but has proved difficult to post, so see how you get on with this one first...

ps - On another note I threw caution to the wind, took a deep breath, wiped my laptop hard drive and installed Vista Ultimate on Sat evening and thus far, it's been great... (still that's only 24hrs so far
)
pps - Martin/Bjorn - I'll mail DVDs of all footage Tue/Wed to each of you.
