Brands GP would be fantastic, but that's an awful lot of money. It looks like that'll end up being a very 'exclusive' event, with a means filter applied at the front end. Shame, I just couldn't justify spending that much, free lunch or not.

Seen the PA to Mr Palmer job advertised on the site at the moment? That's a fantastic opportunity for someone, depending on salary expectations...

I don`t think that`s wildly expensive myself, particularly for a Sunday - they`ll have to pay staff overtime presumably, and the GP circuit is absolutely stupendous. I couldn`t believe how good it was when I drove it - as good as Cadwell in it`s own way, and about 20 times better than the horrible Mickey Mouse Indy circuit.
Go if you can afford it.

Thats a great price for a circuit with extremely limited availabiltiy. A weekday OPL Brands GP is usually £300 and even then you get cheep-ass-piece-o-crap mobiles that belch smoke and spray fliud over the track participating.

Would disagree strongly about the Indy Circuit. Yes it's short, but it's far more complex than it first appears and Paddock Hill alone is worth the entry fee. Also £250 for the full GP on a Sunday is a steal. One of the best circuits in the UK(if not the world) and so rarely available it's a privilege to get he opportunity to drive it.

[lanciaman]

Yes, you`re right about the Indy circuit - I must be honest and say I don`t like it because I was always fairly crap there!

£260 for 5 hours max seems a little on the steep side to me.Being on a Sunday doesn't make much difference,it's only because it's the middle of winter and the track isn't being used for racing. Funny that I've lived my life a few miles from the track and rate the GP as brilliant and a 'must do', but always end up spending my money on Nurburgring trips. Oh well.

£260 for Brands GP, open pit on a weekend seems pretty damn good to me.

Bit cheeky of them to charge for things like pit garages though - it's not like they cost anything to provide!

It could be £50 and people would still complain.

Teeheehee, free hot lunch.

F355GTS has mentioned that there may be a bulk buy discount of 10% available.
Can someone point me in the right direction and advise how I can go about getting it should I decide to book.
Thanks
