Thanks man. Nice stuff. :D

Though, what's with the conservative driving? I mean it's a McLaren F1 for crying out loud !!!! The driver should have stomped on it, at least in the straightaway.

Nice find. I agree with a5678 that the guy really should have given it a little more gas. With a car like that you could blow the doors off everything else on the entire track, hands down. At the end he got passed by some Caterhams!

BTW, I find it strange that this thing is over 18 MB yet the video isn't even 2 minutes long :confused:

Wait...are there two F1s in that video.

One from inside the cockpit view, and the other blue one with high mirrors we see in the 3rd person.

There is only one McLaren, the one being filmed. The camera car is definitely not a McLaren, just by the fact that the steering wheel is on the right. And there are pictures of the blue McLaren on the occasion of this day being filmed. I can't tell what the camera car is, but the interior might be a hint. And if you'll notice, the hood is curved at the left, kinda like that of a porsche where the headlights are. But i don't really know what car it is, except that it is NOT a McLaren.

Edit: I checked cockpit pics from the website jimbocam.com and i am fairly certain the camera car is a Lotus Elise. Check the following webpage out, and look at the 4th picture down. The caption says it's a Lotus Elise.

From the Stack instrumentation, I would guess it's a Lotus Elise.
