I managed to get the video camera on for one race:

It's fun, but I should have more ruthlessly edited the middle section 
where I'm in the lead and there's nothing much to see.

If you want, you can jump to about 13 minutes in once I'm ahead and then 
at least there'll be a wounded car followed by some back markers to pass.

What I really wanted to have video of (and I'm kicking myself about it) 
is me dicing for a while with this car:

That's a 1967 Lotus 41 F2 car, and after I'd pulled the restrictor from 
the Honda to have a little fun (sorry, but I was beating the other FFs 
easily, and I hoped to find someone to race against), I was able to keep 
up with him for a while. He posted a video on Instagram, but it's turned 
sideways:

Anyway... ...just a beautiful old racer.
