Some (possibly) unseen videos

[Mr. Bernoulli]

I was just going through me vids and came across a couple that are not ones usually found on the standard searches. If no-one can give us an address where they can be downloaded, does anyone fancy hosting them so we can all see them?

One is the full version of Clarkson's only known drive of the F1. The part where he wastes an R33 Skyline has been doing the rounds for a long time but this is the full article ~45mb

The other is a Japanese documentary-type video with the car with Tag Heuer decals (can't remember the chassis no. at present). It is in Japanese but there is some good shots and a bit of track work too ~62mb

If anyone has any ideas please post, meanwhile I'll have a look for some more and try to remember where I got these 2 from!

I've seen the F1 vs. Skyline video - well, actually I've never seen it, just heard it. I've downloaded it from like 5 different sites and on every one it's only audio. Thats the one that goes "This is the difference between a really fast car...and a mclaren f1." I wish I had visual on it.

Yeah, that's the short version of it.

Btw, are you sure it's an audio file and not a video file you don't have the codec for? That was the case when I first downloaded it, before I took a trip here that is:

(Codec only download just under the table on this page)

About racingflix.com, i am not able to join because they are having "technical problems" and they can't e-mail me my activation code. Anyone else having this problem?

You know what, they've been down like that for like a week. I e-mailed them on it maybe 5 days ago and still hasn't changed at all.

I've seen this video and I've got to say that the highly modded Skyline gave the F1 some competition but at the end of the race the F1 wasted it.

I think you have your videos confused. The Skyline in this movie is bone stock.

I suspect you are thinking of the Best Motoring footage which shows the F1 in a drag race against a highly modified Veilside Supra which IIRC claimed to have nearly 1000hp. The McLaren wins that race by about a half second I believe.

Just reaffirming that the best of stock beats the best of modified (and they can corner too)
