Indeed, but at least it looks like its going to be dry so the track should (hopefully) be ok for a 9am start! What are you guys taking down? Il be there in an e36 m3 and a couple of mates are taking ford escorts.

Just remember when the back of your car starts trying to overtake you down PHB - keep your foot in. winklaugh

I was driving the blue e36 m3 mate. It was a result that it got changed to open pitlane, and the track was so quiet, probably the quietest trackday iv ever been on!

Have a look on the Brands Hatch website, photos are now available and they are superb. I have bought three of my car, one going under the bridge at Druids, one a rear shot and one angled front shot. I was in the RS Clio 200. I re-set the computor and got 13 MPG out of it yesterday. . . . . . . . .

Thanks, full fat version too but with the all important Cup Chassis. That was the first proper track day I've done in it and it is just awesome.

You didn't do too badly yourself !

What car were you driving?

I like the pictures of the Jeds Driving School spinning off at Paddock Hill bend, I was coming round the corner just as he was coming back on to the track. Why weren't my driving lessons anything like this when I was learning??

If for some reason that fails - which it shouldn't try this.
Brands Hatch.co.uk On home page go to trackdays. Drop down menu select Club MSV Trackdays. Then select Novice area. Then Gallery, then you will see "for photos of recent track days" click here. Select CAR then select Brands Hatch and the files appear in car colour options. Done !

I had a great day, being in a reliable Toyota Yaris the only thing that wore out was my right hand indicator bulb laugh. Hope I did not block too many people.

Being a diesel I still managed 34mpg on the trip computer paperbag
