LMS VIDEO ACTION NIGHT

Hi everyone.
As you know, I am looking to create an LMS Montage video on the 2010 season. Unfortunately, it is near impossible to expect every clip from every round of this series. In it's place, I would like to get some action shots of the cars driving around two circuits; Suzuka and Road Atlanta.

So on Saturday 4th December 2010 at 10pm uk time (4 or 5pm u.s time), I will be hosting an action night if you would like to call it that. Basically, I will need about 16 people (including myself) to join me in this event. We shall need two camera cars and 14 drivers. The reason I'm splitting it into two lobbies is because I need one lobby full of prototypes and the other lobby to be full of GT cars. Whoever decides to host the other lobby, I will give out clear instructions of what you will need to do and also where you need to place you're car on the circuit for the action shots. I shall be doing this by gifting you a replay and talk to you via xbox live. It would be cool if we could get WWR Aero (if it's ok with him) to host the lobbies for the GT cars, but we shall see what happens.

Basically, we shall do seven laps around each circuit. The camera cars will be placed at certain points on the track and sometimes on the track as well. Myself and the host of the other lobby will give out clear instructions as to where we are parked on the track.
When it comes to the driving, the first five laps everyone must leave a gap of about three to five car lengths behind each other in order to get some good shots. However, we will give out clear instructions if we need the drivers to do something else at certain parts of each circuit. It won't be necessary to drive each track flat out (100%) for these video's as we don't want to crash and damage each others cars. And we don't want any incidents with the camera cars.
There's no guarantee that I will be using every clip we make that night but it will give me a few options for the video.

Don't worry if you are not able to make it. If we get the right numbers, ask one of the other drivers if they could drive with your paint on for the video's. That way, we shall be doing this on your behalf.

If you would like to help me and join this, just sign up now and I'm looking forward to seeing you guys on the track then!! Also, let me know which category you're in as well as I haven't done any LMS for a while and which one's (if) you would like to do on behalf!

Cheers Guys!


p.s If you have any replays, please gift them to me via xbox live. I appreciate the numbers so far that have gifted me some replays.

Tonight? Don't you mean the night I'm doing this which is not this Saturday but the Saturday after.

Well i'm doing some tonight and i guarantee i'll still be doing it on Saturday haha!

i'll drive in one dan

4 people so far (including myself).........exellent!

Just another 12 if I'm hoping. If not, then I do have plan B.

I know a maybe isn't of much use but if I can get online I'll join in...its still a maybe though

Saying IN would make it easier!


Only joking! No worries. Lets hope you can make it. It would be great to get a Vibe Entertainment car in this video.

There has been a slight change of plans to this event.
We will only need to go around one circuit now and not the two. I will increase the number of laps to eight but we shall only go to Road Atlanta. It turns out that I have got lots of footage from the replays I have already to fit the video.

The only replays I'm missing now is some LMP1 action, Laguna Seca, some more GT2 races and finally the replays from Road Atlanta after we've raced there. I say we because I shall be making an appearance in my Aston Martin DBR9; to say goodbye properly to GT1 from the LMS. It will be sad not to have this category next season.

i believe the GT1 class will have its own championship Dan. its just seperate from the LMS.

I see! That shows you how long I've been away! lol

I reckon if we have a full lobby of eight people and have two cars from each class, I reckon we should be ok for the night we do this. This is my plan B if plan A doesn't evolve over this next week or so.

Sorry to p*** you off by changing my mind every two seconds! But who fancies doing this very quickly after tomorrow's GT4 race instead? Get it over and done with and you won't need to worry about whether you can do it next saturday or not.

i can do it tomorrow Dan. me and my DBR9 will be ready

ok

ill do it just tell me wat car ud like me to run

If you don't mind, run in either LMP2 or GT2. I think you entered in LMP2 if I can remember from the replays I've seen. If you'd like, run in the LMP2 Acura.

ok mate will do

I'm interested in this. Just need to know when and where.

tonight after the gt4s

Its over and done with now thank god.
My many thanks to Duncan, Chris (WWR Aero), Michael (Slider S15), Chaddy (Franchitti Fan), Nicky (nickyf1), Gary (garyp3398) and Mark (DMR Switch) for turning up to do this with me. And also thanks to them, I can create two video's..........the main feature and an out-takes video as well with all the crashing! lol

Basically, we all tried to act like grown ups making an amateur film but instead we acted like we were five year olds! But it was blooming hilarious though!

All I need now is the replays from next weeks LMS race, get the amount of good clips I need and the video should be ready for release the week after...........but only after our overlord himself has seen it and approve of it first.

was great fun being back out in my privateer M3 GT2 tonight. Had some great moments of exterme precision driving that i hope make the cut (and certainly made Dan Scream with fear! lol)

Might have some thinking to do before the Nur 24 now though.....

I'll have to get a photograph of that to see how blooming close it was. I was literally like "SH**********************" like it was in slow motion!

It might not look that close; but when you're travelling at great speeds, one little twitch could send you into the other car:






I'll post a clip later of Garyp's crash at the first chicane.
