I think your videos are excellent for getting someone from a clueless newbie level to the level of a solid amateur or a track day warrior. Perhaps even beyond that! You discuss and answer all the questions I have been asking myself as I get familiar with the world of (motorcycle) racing.

If you want to watch onboard videos on youtube to learn a circuit, you should only watch onboards from professional drivers. For example, I recently learnt Watkins Glen, I watched onboard IndyCar laps and then made a circuit guide on word with screenshots of braking points, turn in points, apexes and also the gears for each corner, as well as writing down any other relevant information regarding the corner.Took me around 3 hours to do this and only after I'd created the circuit guide I went on PC2 and started driving around the circuit. After doing a couple of laps I added some more notes that I found relevant. I now know the corner names, the sequence of the corners, how to approach each corner and can also mentally visualise doing a lap of Watkins Glen. It's a long process but I find it helps out a lot and is better than just watching an onboard video over and over again.

I recently did a track day at Mallory Park and had no idea where the pit entry is until I saw a car head into the infield before the loop!

After doing 5 or 6 track days at Brands id say the best investment you can make is to go round with one of the instructors on track.Love these videos very informative but id like to stiffen up the handling and uprate brakes and performance any suggestions on a tight budget.
