Historic Rally Podcast – Sample Episode

Posted on by

We’re trying something new.

We’re hoping to be able to produce a regular podcast covering the Rally happenings around the UK. Seeing as we’ve been to the first 2 rounds of the BHRC, we figured that would be a good place to start.

Below is a sample of the kind of thing we are planning. The footage in this episode comes from Last Week’s Pirelli International Rally in Carlisle.

Please let us know what you think either in the comments or via email (see the post about the new Home for RallyUpdate- below).

Update: We’re trying out an embedded player, click on the player image to start the video and let us know what you think (it might take a moment to start playing, depending on your connection speed).

The player shows the file smaller than actual size. You can download the full file, which is 640x360px. (It’s 100MB though). Right-Click the “Download” link under the player to save the linked file. It’s an MP4 and should be iPod ready.

Robin Hood Historic Forest Stages 2008

RHMotors at Robin Hood 2008

After the great time we had following the historic rally cars around at Grizedale last year, we thought we’d give it another go a little closer to home. 

This weekend we went to the Robin Hood Historic Stages Rally, in Sherwood Forest, Nottinghamshire. Specifically we went to the Forest Stages.

The Robin Hood Stages are the first round of the BHRC Historic Rally Championships.

Sadly, there was no spectator access to the Night Stages on Saturday, so we only got in to the Sunday Stages. Even so, we had a great time watching some classic cars putting in some fantastic times.

As you can see from the photo, Richard Hill and Pat Cooper were on good form, Putting in the Overall joint fastest time of the competition in their 4-door Escort, equal with Martin McCormack and Liam Moynihan.

As we didn’t have the full video gear with us, we thought we’d try something different. So we’ve uploaded a video slideshow to the OSGmedia YouTube page.

David Bogie at Grizedale

Congratulations to David Bogie and David Patterson on their win this weekend. 

We had a fantastic time in Coniston in the Lake District, despite the weather (there wasn’t a dry bit of kit for miles). The event was very enjoyable, and the organisers, marshals and locals were all very friendly and helpful. One competitor was even kind enough to supply us with In-Car footage, as we were unable to find a car to carry our gear at such short notice (thanks to Paul Miller of MTP Media for that).

The clip, as always, is available on the OSGmedia YouTube page, at:  www.youtube.com/osgmedia

Roger Albert Clark 2007 – In Car Footage

Inside car 51 at the RAC 2007

We went to the Roger Albert Clark 2007 for two reasons – 1) because we love to go to Rallys, to take photos and shoot video, and 2) because we fitted a state of the art in-car video system to the RHMotors car (the yellow 4-door escort, car 51), so we had an excuse to do 1).

We just finished reviewing the footage, and we’ve got video from 22 of the 28 stages, including the legendary Kielder.

That works out at over 2 hours of eye-popping, bone-rattling viewing fun from the only place to be on a Rally – inside the car!

So, we decided to share. We’re going to edit down the footage and see if we can’t put some of it up on YouTube for you to have a look.

If you want to know more, pop back soon to find out our YouTube address, where you can see some clips of what we got from the weekend.

– Update –

Those nice folks over at Acceleration TV have used some of our in-car footage on the official RAC 2007 DVD.
