The distance traveled on the path is more or less the vehicle's "speed". (So to go from MPH, you'll probably want to recalculate that to ft/s and tweak the path length and distance traveled in the rendering. Or if you're going by metric, it's probably easier figuring where to move the decimal over - but still gotta convert from hours to seconds. :tongue2: ) Sparrowhawke's wheels modifiers are great, because you get the proper wheel turn rate without guessing so it all looks natural. (You could still use spin, but that's more hit or miss.)
Last but not least, setup the camera as a child of the group containing the car which is traveling on the path. That will make the camera automagically follow the car for the shot.
