Jonathan Blake was racing at Brands Hatch in the Mazda based MEV
Exocet from the Nottinghamshire works of Stuart Mills's MEV workshop.
We
wanted to fit Flymounts and a variety of small cameras - GoPro, Contour
and Drift - to the body and roll-bars but we had to get through
scrutineering first. Having tested the Flymounts they were pronounced
safe and secure and the guys left for some warm-up laps.
Our
original intention was to have two cars with cameras behind them and by
the mirrors so we could build a decent set of sequences into a short
video.
All did not go well because the Contour, left in the hands
of the other driver, was not switched on - although he thought he had
done. So we ended up with the GoPro facing Jonathan and the Drift
shooting from the roll bar. The weather was great and the shots and
video were brilliant, now I want to do it again but much better and with
more, and better cameras. I think the sensible option is simply to use
one brand so all the footage will match nicely, so it will be GoPro this
time on both cars.
