I think if you had some videos of the events to advertise that use quite long lenses and track the cars around the track quite closely so you can get to see the cars bumping over the track and reacting to the bumps and jumps. Lots of different camera angles varying from static camera's to people with camera's tracking the cars with a good easy to follow commentary track over the top of it.

A single camera following some cars with a fairly wide angle lens wont let you see the cars work and consequently wont make anywhere near as good or interesting a video. Unfortunately doing a video that way massively escalates the costs of it as instead of one guy with a mini-DV you're talking about a team of people with DV cams who can use them well.

I've wanted to do some proper videos for a while unfortunately aside from racing in a small hall on polished wood there is no 1/10 off-road racing here. I am going to be doing a video similar to that I described for a touring car race that's being held near here, if im honest I would prefer a 1/10th off-road meeting as I think there would be more interesting stuff happening and close up shots would let you see the suspension working.
