Quote from buedi :I am curious what he says. Is the Co "bashing" the Driver or is it just like they are just p*ssed off because of the Crash?

Just pissed off
I can't wait for rain in lfs
Incredible clip from the DC Snowboard Team. (jep, right section, just check it out) STI inside
One of the single most commited laps ever. A lap from Michael Schumacher during the 1997 Australian Grand Prix Qualifying session. To start the season 2.1 seconds down on the pole man (Villeneuve) and be challenging him at the end of the season is a credit to not only Schumacher's skill but also the development of the Ferrari team.

Aspect ratio = fail How come it is that way? Youtube only automatically makes it letterbox if the video is widescreen and I think this only applies to some video formats.
Some nice clips:

Quote from BigPeBe :Could be good, but that fake-soundtrack is just lame.

Could you elaborate a bit more. I don't know anything about the production of the film, nor how the sounds were obtained. What was fake about it?

Sounds doesn't match to the film, sounds are clearly added afterwards.
I disagree...it is far to old to have that amazing of editing done to it

I doubt anyone could pull that off without proper modern mixing software and recording tools. If it is, it deserves another award for sound compilation.
Quote from Glenn67 :Interesting vid of Senna on a sunday drive Has good camera shots of his trademark type of footwaork.

I looooooove this vid, and have to watch it several times everytime I see it mentioned.

I wish I could fine more analysis on about his driving style. Interesting points:
- Jabbing the throttle, instead of being smooth
- Very quick and abrupt steering input
- And... this is my favourite... "left foot braking" with only one foot!

Mixing sound and film has been possible since like, I don't know, from 50's?
That video is probably from late 80's, at least that's when Vatanen did drive 405 T16 on Pikes Peak.

If you just watch and listen, you can clearly hear that sounds doesn't match and there's some effects what just does sound unrealistic.
There's many places where shifting doesn't match and when the car is ie. braking but sound is accelerating, they have even added that weird sounding effect when car slides on sand.

And in many places when car passes by, they have put that same sound clip over it.

Oh, oh and may I add, I can clearly hear that in many, many places they have mixed two sound clips of car over it, they are trying to crossfade two clips, to make it sound right. Only that it doesn't make it sound right, cause it's not nowhere near of how this video should sound with "real sounds".

etc. etc....
I have never watched that video so carefully to spot the fake sound… but that explains to me why the revs shown on the rev meter have nothing to do with the engine’s sound…

I wasn't even careful, it just annoyed me immediately when it started. But well my ears are quite sharp with hearing stuff like that, especially when talking about how cars sounds.
I must say I've wondered that weird sand sound since I first saw that... but never thought of it might be completely re-edited because IMHO it fits well enough, or then the actual movie is so cool that you don't notice it.

Here's bad example of fake sounds...

Cool commercial but the sound is just über-crap.

Picture me browsing the Trackpedia forums just now, seeing a post almost identical to this one which I'd read earlier today, but forgotten. Took me a couple of seconds to realize that it must be from the same person. Luckily you're using the same username. Still, a very déja-vu-like experience.

Same here, it did always sound a bit odd to me and I was like "how'd they do that", never figured it was fake though.

Oh ok, thought you meant that the engine sound was fundamentally differenty, from another car or something....

Frankly, unless you're a signee to the dogme manifesto, that how films are made: sounds get added afterwards.
