Racer's Documentaries
 

Marcel Irnie is an amateur racer from Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada who excels at self-promotion. This guy could give lessons on how to properly support your sponsors. His videos are better produced than the Canadian National racing stuff, or at least more interesting, and done on a shoestring budget.

He's also bought a couple of my shots for his site, so maybe I'm biased ;)

he's "local" for me.

and not well liked. At all.

and has been banned from our club recently (the ban might have been lifted - but he's a very controveresial rider in this neck of the woods)

I don't know the man - only what I hear of him - which is what marketing and sponsorship is all about. Based on his "reputation" I wouldn't say he's a good rep. for his sponsors.

Just my .02

Glad he bought your pictures though!

I can't speak on him personally, since I've only spoken to him briefly at the track, but he DID get banned from Canadian National events until July of next year :lol:

Cool video, but I realized it was canada, then I realised it was green and I didnt see any igloos. Whats up with that?

Who is he and why was he banned?

Apparently he was getting a bit too aggressive, on-track. He was involved in a collision as the result of attempting an aggressive pass at the Calgary round, then again at Mosport. The second was enough to get him suspended until the Mosport round, next season.

*EDIT* By 'incident', I mean that he took someone out.

Sounds like maybe he should concentrate more on his racing and decision making skills than his camera skills?

Nice vids though... Wish I had more time & money to spend on making vids like that. He must look like a porcupine with all those cameras sticking out :p

Yeah, the GoPros are a little over the top. I think that I counted 5 of them, the last time I saw him hit the track :lol:
