On the legally binding form that we signed to go out on track, it included a section that states very explicitly (and was then confirmed in the briefing just to make sure that no one missed it) that if we wished to publish any videos either on the internet or on tv or any other media from the day, then the driver of the car in question agrees to pay a usage fee for the track during filming of 25K per video.
And I wouldnt be surprised if Palmer actually proceeds with it, its not the sort of thing he is likely to be joking about.
That gearbox is mega noisy though, nice road car you have there Mike 
Just a slight change in emphasis there, although maybe his hearing is fading out at the same rate as his hair, so it doesnt seem too noisey to him
Looks like a good turn out, pitty the weather was a bit crap but thats how these things can sometimes go.

For those of us in low powered cars, the weather was pretty much perfect

If it does "kick off" it will be too late to remove it, as the first communication you will get to know its "kicked off" is a letter from their solicitors im sure, and you will have already broadcast it and they will already have had the proof that you did so, so thats a case of shutting the stable door after the horse has been taken away and turned into glue.
So either remove it now, or decide to hope they were empty threats that they issued in writing, that you signed to confirm you agreed with and then verbally got all of us to confirm they had heard as well (hence they have the names and addresses of 100 witnesses who can confirm that they heard the warning that you were in the room and listening to).
I should think if they do decide to pursue it, their legal team could get their cleaner to successfully prosecute you with that amount of evidence rather than needing an actual lawyer!
That clause wasnt there for previous days, so no issue with older footage as far as I am aware.

Mike, if it does kick off and if its any help I can back you up on the fact that you were rude enough to not turn your phone to silent through the briefing and your attention was elsewhere during that part of the brief.

If mike allowed a passenger to be filming, then he was also in breach, it specifically said NO hand held equipment, ONLY video equipment installed as part of the car itself (and the car is the responsibility of the driver)
Palmer didnt get to where he is today by being thick as pigshit you know mate

only glanced at this thread, are you saying if you post videos of bedford you stand a chance of getting a 25k fine? because my brothers had some on youtube for years. as for the hand held equipment, i'm always my brothers camera man and never been told anything, and we've been about 8 times. dont think there as bad as they make out, my brother had to power side out of the final bend (the only one you can see from the paddock) 5 times before they said anything. think its mainly noise there strict on.

As per Chips comments above. It was on the indemnity form that you have to sign before play and they also made a point of stating it in the briefing. With regards to the cameras, it's always been no hand held devices when I've been.
Stuff filmed and posted prior to this year will not be effected as I believe this clause is new for this year.
Personally I'm not taking the chance on posting any clips as Ł25k would ruin me financially.
I can't help but feel that this new clause is in poor spirit really.

Sounds good though, shame about the new rules on the videos, I'll have to send you my username as I only watched the 1st just as you had uploaded it.
They should start doing the odd noisy day at Bedford, or just a raise the limit a little so some of us can come and abuse the circuit properly

It doesn't sound quite as quiet as it was when I last got in the passenger seat !

), the Fixit was semi-straight-cut, so was not bad at all.
