DCP,

the flashing brake lights are an illusion on the video replay only. It's based on the video frame speed...or something to that effect. I've seen it first hand on the track where brake lights are on solid but on the video replay they appear to be flashing. Someone here will be able to better describe this phenomenon.

I was interested in the aerial video and the randomness of "let's jump in the chopper and take some video". On the youtube link someone references the fact that the pilot had his FAA license suspended for the deal.?.

Great images while it lasted thou.


Dough!!!! Greg's too fast

I have a whole new level of respect for you guys. That looks both nuts and wonderful.

What's with all the flashing taillights?
The flashing tail lights happens on cars the LED's with video camera frame rate catching the light pulse of the LED.

Humm...fuel fill was flapping around...maybe just loose or maybe they found so odd aero advantage...but...wouldn't you need both sides of the fender to have an opening to release air pressure equally?

Anyone have more news of if the NGT car is DQ'd and why?

Really great to watch, and well edited.
Looks like Audi had a big hospitality area inside T1.

An FAA license suspension? check out the prop wash /dirt bath the turn 1 corner workers got on the opening lap....nice! Great video, the live feed at the track was nice in the jaguar tent, but the weather, fantastic!

One of us needs to get a copter like that to clean off kitty litter after caution periods.
