Saturday Afternoon Novice Trackday Brands Hatch
Discussion
Have to agree with everything said. MSV overbooked this half day!
Half an hour wait to get on track was crazy. Even had to wait half an hour just for the instruction. It definitely helped though! LOL They should have graded the drivers into three groups and had twenty minute sessions, for each.
This is my second time out at Brands and I am completely hooked now.
It was good to chat to everyone and there seemed like there was a good friendly paddock. :-)

Apologises if I didn't speak to fellow PH on the day, but I am a little bit shy.
I concur with the above comments. Just a tad overbooked with a few quick "novices" in their slick tyres,.....Despite this, had a great time and the instructor was great, and I enjoyed my later sessions much more knowing the racing line (doesn't mean I kept on it!).
BTW, I thought I saw some pro photographers floating around during the day, but they had disappeared by late afternoon. If anyone knows their mobile no. or emails, please forward it to me as I was hoping for some mugshots of me! Thanks in advance.

It was my 1st time on a track to at Brands, agree with people about the wait to get back on track was too long. Personally i didn't have a problem with any other drivers on the track, well maybe 1 old 911 that i got stuck behind for a lap or so, he just wouldn't pull of the line & indicate so i just had to pass him on the cooper straight in the end. saw the MR2 in the pits, was full of gravel !

Unfortunately it sounds like MSV are still doing the same = overcrowded/underpoliced event. I went in Feb to their EvoActive day originally billed as 3 hours of driving (the whole day) - the sheer number of cars dictated 3 x 30 minute session which were more like 20mins. After witnessing a Boxta undertake a novice (on the right) going into clearways (I think) and go unpunished it gave me a clear indication of the day ahead. Not a good experience of what is undoubtedly a great circuit.
