Bright was side by side, held back, then Ambrose let him through. Great shot of racing, especially as they get literall mm's within each other and still right at the limit
Yeah, the latest gen cameras are letting them mount anywhere.

I like the bikes going over the rumble strips and their's a classcic from a couple of seasons back where the riders knee slider hits the strip and sends sparks over the camera. I keep hoping to find it on-line somewhere (hint,hint)

WRC cameras on yumps are awuseom for the image and great fun seeing the guys digging the hole in the middle of the track to put a margaraine tub box nailed to the ground. Also love them on the outside of hairpins, especially when the car wipes them out

We've just picked up a bullet-camera for the MGB, so hopeful of getting MUCH better quality vids for our next event
