Absolutely brilliant camera work, gents! Thank you for the clear HD, wonderful sound and complete lack of music. You have truly proven yourselves to be auto purists!
Awesome, just like being there again. Ran into J.F. and crew in the paddock, super nice guys and I can't thank them enough for putting out videos like this, keep it up! My dad and I make an appearance @ 5:22 - 5:36:)
Ran into Leo Parente there right after the ALMS race and told him that I love Drive. This feels like being there, except that some of the telephoto shots make the track look a lot tighter than it is.
Thank you Drive! These trackside videos are zeee best. Closest thing I have ever seen to actually being at the race. The sound blows away anything you hear on typical TV broadcasts. Pure track pron. I have to agree about the slow shutter speed experiment. I think you went a little too far with the slow shutter in an attempt to capture the essence of speed. Still, overall excellent camera angles guys.
Cool, I'm new getting into watching the whole professional racing thing, I even live in va and didn't know about this track. I thought we only had nascar.
It's the slow fps because from when they were shooting without the cars moving. As crappy as those shots are, give them some credit, it's a damn good video.
too bad there was no footage from Oak Tree, I guess it was too hard for the camera man to drive around to the otherside of the track. The acoustics of the cars going up the back straight were phenomenal, especially the Ferrari 458s.
There were some great shots that could have been shown, like why as there no oak tree shot. Or in the esses there was no shot of the cars getting airborne. I want to see fast cars on beautiful circuits, you can drop the fancy crap shots.
Some of the lead up footage in the pits is cool, but 9 mins is way too long to wait for some racing action. Please focus more on the racing! Thanks ;-)
Gonna have to see if I can see myself in my gay, little blue photovest in this video somewhere. I met the videographer filming this while treking around T4.
Some of the shots seem to be shot at a slower speed or something and it just makes the video look amateur-ish. If you guys are doing this on purpose please stop.

/Drive is one of the best automotive channels on RUclips. Thank you!
Awesome video. Really captured the feeling of seeing it in person.

Excellent video - really captures the spirit of race day!

great shots. i enjoyed the quiet at the beginning. gives a great sense of being... trackside.
the most beautiful sounds... almost put me to sleep...
I LOVE these trackside videos !
No commentary, just awesome video, love it!

Very nice coverage!

I agree. I think Drive is fantastic and Trackside is awesome but the lack of footage from Oak Tree/South Paddock is disappointing.
Why no coverage of the iconic Oak Tree turn? Kind makes the coverage of VIR incomplete.
Ugh my favorite drive show -3
No I think it has to do with how it was recorded. Maybe one of the cameras didn't have the correct settings.
No, they've done this 4-5 times now at different venues and racing series.
footage is super choppy for me too. does this have something to do with how recently it was uploaded?
Those shots may not be done on purpose. It could be a small rendering glitch that slowed down some parts of the video.
is this the start of a new season of drive with the new segment "trackside"?
Cool, I'm new getting into watching the whole professional racing thing, I even live in va and didn't know about this track. I thought we only had nascar.
I almost feel like it was a camera malfunction. As if the shutter were slightly slower than it ought to be. Just my two cents.
Nice shots.
Awesome footage! But that slower frame rate hurts my eyes, gives me a headache pretty quickly.
It's the slow fps because from when they were shooting without the cars moving.

awesome , thx /Drive !!
I liked this.
The crash at about 14:00
nobody comes to help?
Very nice video though, i love it.
Is it just me or are the acoustics at VIR very good?
Must be the wide open fields.
I've been there many times.
too bad there was no footage from Oak Tree, I guess it was too hard for the camera man to drive around to the otherside of the track. The acoustics of the cars going up the back straight were phenomenal, especially the Ferrari 458s.
That would be an awesome view for a bathroom, though!
is that helicopter a MD explorer?
Shame about the frame issues, however still an awesome video!
The bathroom shot xD
why the hell is the footage so choppy?!
Agreed :) they should meet Top Gear and make a show together
12:55 i love this shot
That crash at 14:33, OMG!
in some spots the video seems to have some major frame drop for me
why is 2/5th of the footage of overweight americans in corvette shirts?
the thing about the merger is who would want to watch 24 hours of daytona like thats nascar times 5
Idk man, there is a paper towel dispenser on the right hand side... I'm gonna keep saying it was a bathroom.
that was the garage
i am experiencing the same thing
Awesome, but some of this looks like it was filmed on a web cam.

Great footage but choppy fps taking away from y'all hard work, but made it feel like you was actually there
14:30 mark..... ouch!
Ahh Farrah's second job as the Michelin man..
Then I'll take your word for it.
hold on give me a SECOND
Gonna have to see if I can see myself in my gay, little blue photovest in this video somewhere. I met the videographer filming this while treking around T4.
No, it is the best.
6th???
9:21 was fullie sik.
Some of the shots seem to be shot at a slower speed or something and it just makes the video look amateur-ish. If you guys are doing this on purpose please stop.
That's why I thought it was awesome lol. Taking a piss then seeing 500 horsepower blast past you. That would be cool.
That's the last thing either program needs.
7:25 Swag
OMG it's an original, witty, and amusing first comment! (no sarc)
Someone get me a ddrink, im dying of FIRST :D
2 fps, anyone else?
You mean wasted
hahaha, lawn mower!
Bibendum!!!! HAHA

Thirst*

"Shots seem to be shot at a slower speed or something?" lol...Nah, they're just amateurs and their only lousy camera is broken...Sheesh........
