Phillip Island Pirelli Series videos

[Marshy]

Here are the first vids of the racing action from the Island last weekend.

Sunday's TT race 1 - 600cc.





Some of the boys' starts:





Mass confusion for the first race of the weekend (400s, twin-sprints, superlights):

[Baddie]

Love your work...the race video was great.
thanks you making the time to share.

Did you only use GOPRO's?

[Marshy]

Thanks Baddie!!

I'm also using my two new Liquid Image cameras. They rock! It's just that the tail on my bike was really, really wobbly and it's ruined the rear-facing view (which was gopro actually). All the 'different angle' shots were the LI cameras.

[Negrogrande]

awesome work mate

I'm spewing I had to pull out of the trip

[windy]

Awesome videos mate, thanks for putting them up.

[senator8]

Great vid Nick. Not sure if I'm more impressed with your riding or editing

[Tristan]

How good are they I'm so happy I got them instead of go pros

[Medic!]

Camera angles......luv em.

[Medic!]

Kid on the Otto bin was making me nervous.

[Stu23]

Brilliant Nick...... looks totally amazing........ I must give it a go one day hell you have more camera angles than foxtel !

[chubb]

Nice one Nick!

It's an AMAZING track!! Very, very, very fast and kinda scary. Tipping in to corners absolutely flat stick at 15k rpm in 5th gear, but still tucked in behind the screen and trying to keep WOT while still making the corner (not running off the track on corner exit as you drift wide to the ripple strip) is just insane. And there's 5 corners like that on the track!!

Honestly, I kept thinking it should be illegal!! Anything that freaking awesome but sooooo dangerous would normally be illegal. Lucky the fun police haven't cottoned on to this yet...

Haha, this is the point we all say... Told ya so!

[Marshy]

True that! But I'm highly disappointed in the actual race meet. They were a victim of their own success, and crammed too many classes into the weekend, which meant we got very, very little track time. Even friday practice was disorganised and poorly run - the 600s missed out very badly in track time. Then the race meet was a mess of late starts, shortened races and little track time (except if you had a bears bike, where you could cross enter to your heart's content and ride all day). Gypped. All that way for a couple of dozen laps.

But yeah, freaking awesome track!!!

Sprint race 1 of 3:

Good race! I hate to say it though (not) but that Kwaka had some serious go down the straight!

Here's another one. Sprint race 2:

[Medic!]

Nice drive for thfinish. Bet he thought he had it.
Number 21 where did he come from? Must of left the handbrake on for the first lap

[Saturnalian]

First and worse race from the weekend....



Team Zero getting shunted......



Last race for the weekend......



The difference in data is that this last vid is put together using Racerender with data from the iPhone App whereas the first vid had all of the overlay processing done by the App in the phone which then spits out a finished video.
The disadvantage to the in App processing is it currently only processes the overlay for 1 lap at a time which you then have to stitch together. THis will be fixed soon.

[Marshy]

Nice vids Jamie. I like the last overlay the best.

[Team Zero]

Thanks Jamie. Apart from that a great weekend with everyone.

[Saturnalian]

Hey Nick,

I tried to upload my race report but the word count was to high. If you can up the limit i'll post it up.

Cheers,

J.

Try now mate Looking forward to reading it!

Second TT race. First aborted attempt, then the rerun.

[Medic!]

These videos are unreal. The cam angles seem limited only by your imagination rather than the usual tv stuff. The sound is ear candy. That change in revs flipping from one side to the other is so cool. Is that from an external Mic or because you have one behind the screen?

You'll have to post a pic of them all mounted. You must look like a production company. Just keep them coming. I'm loving this!
