To add to the difficulty/talent level, what you don't get from the video is the drivers perspective.
Consider the drivers line of sight in comparison to the camera periscope:


Their reaction times are very impressive.

wow.. i just ran across this thread... holy hell. Thats amazing. the view (of everything, not just the scenery) is absolutely breathtaking.

And to the camera talk.. the F2.8 70-200 = my dream lens.

LOL.

Greg, thanks for taking the time to share so much with us here on Lat-G. Most people wouldnt take the time to do that. kudos to you for thinking of us while enjoying your once in a lifetime vacation.

So are you saying that Greg wouldn't be able to see over the dash??

Have you seen the new phone books? They're getting smaller and smaller... it'd take 2 or 3 of them now to get me high enough!

Technology is taking its toll....GW what are you gonna do when they stop printing phonebooks altogether

Guess you and I will be fighting over them

That was the problem with viewing the GP from ABOVE -- there was no way to get any real action shots... after 600 or shots I was bored with that. Didn't even take my camera on race day.


What a great capture of the turn 1 crash!

So Greg was affect has this trip and F1 and exotic scene done to motivate/inspire you to change or do something car-related when you get back I'm wondering? Whenever I go to something -- a track day, the Vintage Trans Am races, etc I get new ideas and inspiration...

F1 shift paddles for the Toter perhaps?
