And no I do not RallyCross my Elise - the dirt was a result of my Reno-Fernley spin. It was taken with a Nokia N95 and looks remarkably good in a full page print advert (proof image here).

This was the first time I was using the Nokia N95 and I had high expectations from the high-rez camera. As you can see over here the video quality is dramatically better than my past recordings from the N73. I have been planning on getting a ChaseCam PDR setup for a while but now that I can get such excellent video from the phone I think I will stick to my homebrew cellphone setup. There are still some issues with vibration on the high speed straights but I am confident that I can fix that adding a layer of padding (tissue/cloth) to the phone before taping it to the car.
