Posted February 25, 2010 at 11:25 am Atlantic Championship, video Comments

For those that have been waiting to see 15-year-old Zach Veach behind-the-wheel of an Atlantic Championship racecar, here is your chance.

The following video features onboard footage of Zach Veach testing with Jensen Motorsport.

I’m not sure how recent this footage is, or what the conditions were like during the test… so it’s difficult to provide much insight into his driving technique.  He does a nice job looking through the turns and keeping his eyes ahead of the car.  I would say that he appears a bit reserved (which isn’t necessarily a bad thing during a test day).  He’s lacking entry and mid-corner speed but seems to be adapting to the power of the car quite nicely on exit.  The ability to carry more momentum into– and through— the corner will come with additional seat time.   I’m looking forward to watching more footage and keeping an eye on his progress this season.

The following footage was taken at the second event of the 2009 Star Mazda season; Virginia International Raceway.  The race features a solid battle at the front and is full of action-packed restarts.

I haven’t had much Formula BMW footage on the site– simply because there isn’t a whole lot of onboard FBMW footage available.

In today’s feature, you can take a ride with Michael Lewis in a Formula BMW car at the collective test in Valencia, Spain.  Lewis recently signed with Team U.S. Formula Project and will be competing in Formula BMW Europe for 2010.

Take a ride with Star Mazda front-runner Alex Ardoin during qualifying at the New Jersey Motorsports Park.  Ardoin does a fantastic job of rolling back to power and picking up the throttle in this clip.  He qualified 2nd in Race-2 at NJMP.

Sorry for the lack of updates over the last few days, I decided to take a short break for the holidays.

I recently came across this onboard footage from World Series by Renault driver Mihai Marinescu.  The featured circuit is Motorland Aragon at sunset.  Enjoy.

This will most likely be one of the many “Video of the Day” features I will be posting from last weekend’s SKUSA SuperNationals XIII.  So, hopefully you enjoy karting as much as I do.

In this clip… take a ride with SuperPro pilot Anthony Abbasse.  Enjoy.
