Race Retro 2010!
Posted by John Partridge | Filed under Mini, Personal, Rallying
So its that time of year again, all of the pride and joys from the Racing and Rallying scene from around the United Kingdom will be gathering together at Stoneleigh Park, Coventry from Friday 12th March – Sunday 14th March for a Weekend of displays, Live Rally action Stage and 100’s of traders.
My 1995 WRC Eddie Stobart, Mini Cooper Rally car (see picture below) shall be on display right outside the main entrance doors along with a number of other special Rally cars.
Something new for me this year, I shall be putting my photography talents to use on the Live action rally stage, with a Photographers pass giving me trackside access to get even closer to the action. I will post up my photos here after the event.
The organisers say…
Three full days of classic motorsport action and historic racing with appearances from motoring legends. See incredibly rare Racing Cars and meet the drivers who took them to victory. Chat with the Motorcycle riders as they share their experiences and watch the legendary drivers return to the breathtaking Live Rally Stage.
It doesn’t matter if you enjoy historic motorsport from the driver’s seat or the armchair, Race Retro has something for every enthusiast with motorsport, classic car and bike enthusiasts, event organisers, engineering and restoration companies on hand to discuss all your motorsport needs as well as hundreds of trade stands selling parts, tools, memorabilia, and much more.
Amazing 1 Take Music Video!

Okay so I have just been surfing around on Youtube, mainly looking at the usual mix of Rally Car In Car Videos and Live Concerts, but I have just come across this amazing Music Video from the Band Ok Go. I remembered the last video they did was very successfull (see here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTAAsCNK7RA) but this new video from them is something else.
I read that it was done in 1 take, which is some seriously impressive videography if true, but never the less even if it was 100 takes its still an impressive piece of work.
