Ski's personal website: Formula One's London parade 2004

London (UK) Formula One Parade
Tuesday 06 July 2004

Location of recording:
Upper end of the LCI Chicane (closest end to Oxford Street) on Regent Street.

If you download the video below, then the MP3 recordings were done just before the exit of the chicane that Martin Brundle stops at and does the fingered countdown before flooring the accellerator.

Running order:
1. Christian Da Matta - Toyota MP3   4,094,080 Bytes
2. Nigel Mansell - Jordan MP3   2,721,920 Bytes
3. Luca Badoer - Ferrari MP3   2,154,624 Bytes
4. Jenson Button - BAR Honda MP3   2,353,280 Bytes
5. Zsolt Baumgartner - Minardi MP3   2,711,680 Bytes
6. Juan Pablo Montoya - BMW Williams MP3   1,919,104 Bytes
7. David Coulthard - McLaren Mercedes MP3   1,974,400 Bytes
8. Martin Brundle - Jaguar MP3   3,332,096 Bytes

I highly recommend file 8, where you hear Martin Brundle bring the car to a stop, rev the car, then do a burn-out type start.

These files were encoded using Variable Bitrate Encoding, for MP3's.

Please Note:
- File 3 has two sound drop outs, this is due to the Minidisc recorder being nudged as it was recording (everyone wanted to see the Ferrari).
- Files 1 to 4 has an amount of audio clipping due to the loudness of the F1 engine, and how it was being reved at the microphone location. The microphone input was progressively reduced per car to get unclipped recordings.
- The other cars heard in some of the tracks (after the F1 car passes the microphone) are the McLaren Safety Car, and a Jaguar Sports car (model unknown).

This is the video that was transmitted by ITV (UK station) of the pre-parade and of Martin Brundles' run in the Jaguar around the road "circuit". Screenshots below are taken from the video.
