Franchitti - Helmet Camera

Here are the links to three separate videos packed with footage from INSIDE Dario Franchitti's helmet from the Bridgestone Potenza 500 at the Twin Ring Motegi circuit in Japan. This is fantastic footage and well worth downloading...

Thanks for the stuff alex, now to go watch them

How can I play them?
I only get sound in Windows Media Player (and those stupid waves). What program do you use to play them?

I downloaded and get still pictures too. Something is wrong about it.

Anyway, you can watch it relive tonight on Eurosport at 20.00 CET.

You'll probably need the latest DivX codec/player. You can download it here: [www.divx.com]

It's only about 3Mb and it's far better quality than Windows Media Player. I should have mentioned that before hand sorry. It's nothing wrong with the videos.

You are right, Alex. I used DivX 5.0 Bundle before and have never thought that it runs only with DivX5.0.1 Pro Bundle. Thanx.

wow thanks alex, we can finally get to see from the drivers perspective, wish we had it in F1






LS's Tip of the week
ESSENTIAL OILS aren't essential unless you're an engine, a gearbox or a twat

they also had some great footage in Long Beach....I remember watching the qualifying through Paul Tracy's helmet....man u used to think the track was smooth or semi-smooth

but it was bumpy as all heck....imagine if in Gp4 we could do that?

i mean drivers complain that brazil is bumpy....but long beach was bumpy everywhere!!!

wonder when F1 will have the in helmet cam?

but it was bumpy as all heck....imagine if in Gp4 we could do that?

we do get a helmet camera in GP4, but i do not know if we will get the vibrations and bumpness of the circuit more obvious though

is it me ? or does the missing hands on the steering wheel look even more silly when looking at the helmet cam?

i know we discussed the merits of having hands on the wheel, and nick court saying it was unimplementable coz the arms would like planks of wood

but having played EASPORTS F12002 on the XBOX, they have included hands on the wheel, and it looks fantastic!!!!


so what nick court is saying is bollocks, it can be done realistically and has been.

nice (helmet view)....just give me head panning also or the classic head banking during turns like when Jean Alesi drove!

i agree with u on the "hands" are no implentable

And if we are already talking about mising body-parts, what about the nose that you can clearly see on the Franchitti pic? If GP4 has no "nose in helmet" option it'sa cheat and I'm not going to buy it. ake that Crammond. Nose or die.

LoL!

And a blinking eye

But I guess they wouldn't get the nose shape right anyway. We would have to wait for Paul Hoad's NoseEditor or René Smits GpxNose. Hopefully we can have individual noses and not one generic nose for all 22 drivers. That would suck. Emac will certainly release a "Nose 2002 update" and maybe we'll get MS' chin and DC's cheekbones as well.
