mike962 ◊ 2016-09-15 22:32	the movie is on youtube if you want to try to maybe get better shots https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_OFRxh5D2Q
mike962 ◊ 2016-09-15 22:40	shot is at 1.26.46 and it's made for the movie so NOT real race footage, this means only visual ID is really applyable.. -- Last edit: 2016-09-15 22:40:18
