Onboard Birkett 2022 [

I rarely post other peoples onboards on my channel but this video was too good not to share. It's actually mainly an INSTRUCTIONAL video in that it is very clearly showcasing 'alternate' lines on a damp track. Viewers may well be familiar with 'wet lines' and there are many in this video, I take some but not all, the MX5 is perhaps taking more. So, before I start I'd like to thank Alex Wilkinson-Hughes for allowing me to edit and repost his video, there should be a CARD that links to his channel at the top of this video. It's an entertaining video in it's own right with lots of close racing, Alex does actually get past me 2 or 3 times in the video and I repass. Alex's car is a Mk1 MX5 with a bit of a power boost (165/170bhp) and running on Yokohama A052s. Track doesn't look 'too wet' but was greasy and slippy all session (a good 15secs of dry pace). The video has been 'doctored' somewhat from Alex's original as I wanted to zoom in more, and as you zoom in you lose quality so ran it through some AI Video Enhancement Software I use and am on the BETA team for, Topaz Video Enhance AI. So the resulting video is in (psuedo) 4k (from what was original a cropped 1080p, so no more than 720p quality. For those not familar with 'wet lines' it is essentially a racing line that avoids the 'extra slippy' parts of the circuit. A Circuit is not like the public highway, A race car will leave LOTS of rubber down on the track surface and some areas will become HIGHLY POLISHED. It is not uncommon for a racetrack to be resurfaced around every 10 years. The areas that get the MOST rubber and the MOST polishing are those parts of the circuit where racecars are acclerating AND cornering at the same time, secondary to that are the braking zones. So, the 'wet lines' try and avoid those extra slippy areas as there is more GRIP 'OFFLINE' It's not an exact science as all wet lines tend to resuly in the car taking the travel more distance, more distance = more time taken .. so it has to be WORTH IT. The skill of the race driver in the wet is working out which ones are worth it and which ones aren't and THIS VIDEO demonstrates that perfectly, much better than ANY explanation could do.
