Thought they were quite good, apart from no extreme lean angles :x
Anyway, this one is coming out of the final corner, with the snapper standing on the pit entrance. They were running the GP circuit, so the last corner joins the left-hand part of the chichane, if you get what I mean. The exit is therefore a lot tighter (particularly with me wobbling around!).

And the same corner, but camera dude on the outside (grey bags in the background would be where the cars enter the chicane from....

And this is at Coppice, the corner that opens up onto the back straight and under the Dunlop bridge. Didn't enjoy this one too much on the bike, as it means getting the power down when still leant over. Alright in a car where you can floor it from the apex, but scary on a bike. Front wheel was lifting at about 140mph on the crest under the Dunlop bridge (just as I was changing to fifth at 108 in the Clio!)

Interesting comparison between the car and bike. Basically, I'm a lot braver in a car, so can carry more speed through the corners. Was quicker through Craner and the Old Hairpin in the car than on the bike!
