This clip marks a series of firsts:
- It was produced with TrackVision V2.0
- It was created from an MPEG2 original
- It was saved in V2.0's H.264 format
The quality is a great example of what the new V2.0 video engine will deliver. The driving is none to shabby either! Wait for the second lap, which is butter smooth and quick.
AC is a denizen of http://axisofoversteer.blogspot.com, which is a terrific site for great video, a great track tard forum, and the best F1 coverage, period. You will need WMP 11 or Quicktime 7.2 for this one. |

This is a test of yet another new CHase Cam setup. The evening streetscape in Europe reminded me of Escape from Stockholm, a Porsche viral classic.
Nice user dashboard hack, based on the distributed PodGauge dash. Great colors, and addition of Power & Torque data. |

A good example of the video quality from the new Chase Cam PDR-100 solid state recorder. TrackVision V1.3 will offer rock solid support for MPEG2 and MPEG4 video file formats, largely to support the wave of high quality solid state cameras now becoming available. |

The race series is the Australian Lotus Trophy - www.lotustrophy.com.au . It is a support series for the premier V8 Supercars. We race on some great circuits like Bathurst & Phillip Island in front of some big crowds. Class A are Lotus Exiges with much more power. We have 3 races over the weekend, the 2nd of which is a reverse grid which is why you will see the Exiges flying past on the straights. Note Marks' great dash hack! |

A red hot 2:10 lap in race traffic in Norm's ferocious GT2 Evo. His speedo moves faster above 100MPH than my tach moves at full throttle in 3rd gear. Norm's diff is a locker, which requires horsing the car to make it turn. Note the throttle work in the high speed turns. |

Now racing in the ProKart Challenge series, Doug was the first kart racer to try TrackVision. We needed a 16K RPM Tach and 100MPH Speedometer, which are now available to anyone who wants them. 16K Tach is good for the Hyabusa brigade!
This movie is a classic, featuring a great Sergio Leone opening sequence. |

It's not often that a Miata [MX-5] gets to overtake a Porsche Carrera GT There's a lack of cornering acceleration, but the circuit was covered in wet slush. It had been sheet ice earlier in the day! Dave is the original Dash hacker. The first brave soul! |
