65m of climbing per lap, according to the email they just sent out. That's 136 laps to tick off an Everest of Brands Hatch. Or 531km, requiring a race average of 22.12kph.
What do you recon? 13mph for 24hrs sounds like very little rest. It'll certainly be a nice tick in the box if/when you do it. 
We'll all the doing what we can to keep you on it too.
btw, you're still showing as being in the team of 4 on the App.

Blimey. Just £34 for six hours on what is surely the most evocative circuit in the UK. website said:

Top that with no drawing pins, no traffic, very little chance of taking a wrong turn and a feed station every two and a half miles and you'd need to have a very important prior engagement not to enter.*
*Or really not like the idea of doing laps, I begrudgingly give you that.

Having paid the full price of £150, I'm very miffed they're now offering a discount of 15% !website said:

Who's signed for The Six. SPB, Justin, ... ? Might have to join in. Got a stupidly selfish ride the weekend before (Ridgeway double ITT), so will see if I can get a pass. Camping too, cheap fun weekend.
Can't afford the 24, thank God as that everesting possibility sure looks interesting, is there only 1 climb though per lap as that's how an everest is supposed to be earned, reps of 1 single climb. If so, Gruffy will piss it.

Go on go on go on. It'll be an easy spin after the Ridgeway double. SixPotBelly said:

And I'm in.
Excellent! Racing The 6 but going for the whole weekend?Might end up with a blow up in the SAAB arriving at brands at midnight Sat.

The official rules of everesting prohibit loops. They insist you have to descend the same route you climbed up. So I can't submit it to the everesting board but I don't care. I'll be just as happy to bag the numbers unofficially.
You'll be good for an Everesting attempt based on the published rules, I reckon...The Rules - Everesting said:
The descent must be via the same road unless you are prevented from doing so (e.g. one-way street or trail).
...whichever way you read that, Brands Hatch Circuit complies - it's definitely a "one way" road. And it's also the 'same road' up as it is down, as it's called "Brands Hatch Circuit" all the way around
