This one took a lot longer than I wanted, I'm really sorry about that. Unfortunately I stumbled on a number of things that made it take a while to get it finally done.

Last January I took my computer to a workshop to get a new processor installed because my old one (i5-7400) was a bit of a pain, especially with editing videos. So I got the best one my motherboard could take on (i7-7700K) to get a pretty strong performance boost. Unfortunately things got complicated when it turned out my motherboard was faulty, and the workshop needed to order a new one from MSI. As you know, there is a huge chip shortage which caused a delay which lasted over a month, much to my annoyance. In the end, they got a different motherboard instead that was more quickly available along with a new house, and the new processor installed. Video editing now works much smoother and I hope this motivates a little better to work on these videos.

When I got it back, I needed to find time as well to get back into the series as well, as my attention was scattered on other things at the time. But with this race finally out of the way I hope I can get the pace and deliver these video on a more frequent basis.

Finally, let's talk about this race itself... if you remember, the 1965 season had a rainy race of its own, and driving Spa-Francorchamps is better scary. Now these cars have more power and weight, make it even trickier. Yeah, I know, I took a relatively easy car, but that doesn't make it less difficult in these conditions. What makes this so extremely tricky is that when the rain is at its worst, you need anything around the circuit to use as bookmarks for when to brake, shift, steer, etc. And even if you got the marks memorized, you get the idea that everything is different each time you tackle even the slightest of nudges (e.g. on the Masta straight), and thus making it very unpredictable.

With video editing going easier, I might some slight alterations compared to the Monaco Grand Prix, most prominently making the replay shots occupy less of the view, making sure the gradient flag actually is on the edge instead of leaving a gap, and moving around between left and right side of the screen more freely. I also tried a little something with zoom and blur/focus somewhere.

Enjoy the race.
