Let me set the record straight. There were drink / lunch runs, but too few and too late. This was caused by giving the distribution job to the recovery team who were kept busy with broken cars. Perhaps they'll fix this next time.

Kramer, I'm with you on the "Between Race" activity.... The Mini Club run a "Hot Track" all day and unless there's a huge problem they'll keep the meeting moving.

FFS put me in a quick brick (with wind up windows

) a radio and headset and I will zoom around and drop off drinks to all who need em....too easy.

If time means you don't complete the run and cars are entering the circuit....pull off to a safe position, wait untill instructed, continue lap

Now that sound like a smart idea, will it see the light of day????

I'm surprised they don't seem to look after you guys at the island, we competitors are pretty well treated there. The only thing that I don't like is the drivers briefing where I think some pretty colourful language is used unnecessarilly which may give our overseas competitors a bad impression. Other than that I from my perspective, it's a great meeting full of really helpful officials.

The first segment of tonight's In Pit Lane from the Phillip Island Classic is now up on the In Pit Lane Vodcast available via iTunes. Part one features the Porsche 917/30 and the Lola T710 Corvette GTP.

I think you might find that I have already volunteered for that job.

But I can't go to ALL the PI meetings, just the good ones

I downloaded IPL and it didn't play properly, is my computer the proplem or did others have the same experience?

bludvl_x19 · 30 Mar 2008, 12:55 (Ref:2165136)

I posted somewhere else here that I had a problem as well, the video cut out about halfway through the interview with Klaus. Repeated attempts at downloading again didn't fix it either.

The May edition of MotorSport carries a two page spread on this meeting. Not a lot of text (by Simon Taylor) but a number of good pics. If that's not enough for you to buy it, there's a big tribute to Jim Clark amongst the other good stuff.

inpitlane · 4 Apr 2008, 05:20 (Ref:2169209)

The In Pit Lane Interview with F5000 legend Graham McRae is now on the In Pit Lane Vodcast available via iTunes or Miro.
Highlights of the F5000 race will be up soon(ish)

inpitlane · 1 May 2008, 23:47 (Ref:2192241)

The F5000 feature race from PI is now on the In Pit Lane Vodcast. You can check it out on ITunes, Miro or pretty much anywhere good Podcasts are found.

David Towe · 2 May 2008, 08:58 (Ref:2192382)

Brett, I've had trouble veiwing the last 3 podcasts, who has the problem, me or you? I know I've got problems, but I mean specifically in the case of viewing the podcasts. Have others had a problem and managed to fix it and if so, how did you fix it?

I haven't been able to replicate the problem at my end. I'm not sure what's going on. What software/hardware are you using? If it's iTunes perhaps check to see it's up to date and that the latest version of Quicktime is installed.
I'm now encoding into a HD H.264 codec and it can be pretty processor intensive on older machines and some Windows machines.
You could also try installing Miro which is a dedicated IPTV program with lots of interesting channels. It's slower than iTunes but the video quality is better.
If anybody else is having trouble I'd like to know so I can check with "ourmedia.org"
Also try http://www.archive.org/download/Pitl...vodcsat037.flv for a Flash version.

I had trouble with all the episodes that I have downloaded so far (all the available iTunes ones) but with the majority I have found that simply trying to download again usually fixes it. That saidm I can;t get number #35 to work at all.

Aw shucks. I took the pictures. The family has been very good with praise, but it's their job. Nice to get some that's unsolicited.

I'll be back every year given half a chance. Great race meeting. Great place, great cars.

**John Turner** · 16 May 2008, 16:03 (Ref:2204170)

Good one, Bruce!

Bruce Moxon · 17 May 2008, 00:18 (Ref:2204463)

Not only, but also...

Some they didn't use...

**John Turner** · 18 May 2008, 20:16 (Ref:2205803)

Bruce, great pics and I love the last one, in particular. However, any chance of reducing them in size in accordance with our FAQs (also see my thread at top of page) as it distorts the page?

Hi all,

First post. I saw this incident on Medical Emergency on the Seven Network last night and was just wondering if anyone knows how Peter and his gorgeous 2002 are getting on?

Cheers, great forum btw.

I spoke with Peter a couple of weeks ago. He has more or less recovered, but his car was virtually destroyed.

Thanks mate, good to hear he's recovered from the crash.

Shame to hear about the car though, it appeared to be a nicely turned out thing.
