Last time i was there it was torrential and I casually rolled out onto the track.. Pretty much everyone decided to use me as some sort of grip guinea pig hahaha!

Can't wait. I love Brands Hatch and its nice and close to me. I'll be in my Blue Focus RS Mk2 - I slow down for pies

See you all there!

Has anyone got a garage they would like to share?

I forgot to book one so will happily pay.

Cheers.

Last I was there we all just rolled into whatever one we wanted, no booking required.

Just a quick one, incase people aren't aware, I met up with a friend last night who runs a race team with an RS Cosworth - He was there recently. Apparently Druids has been opened up enough to fit 3 abreast through it, with less gravel and Graham Hill has an extension to increase overtaking opportunities. Both these sections of extended tarmac are apparently more slippery than a skinned moose on a block of ice.

On a personal note, I look forward to saying hello to a few PH'ers!

Thanks for the heads up on both the garages and the slippery bits !!!

Garages 1 through to 27 are all reserved for tomorrow already; garages 28 to 31 are available for hire on a first come first served basis so be quick. And yes the weather forecast is rain, lots of it!

I've just got back from a weekend racing there. They have replaced some of the gravel on the outside at Druids with tarmac, but its not considered part of the track. Graham Hill bend hasn't changed (yet) - but it is very slippery in the wet.

Was good fun - especially liked it just before lunch when the track was drying - could really push the car then.
Lots of offs to see (not for me luckily) and the evening session for LOT (Lotus on Track) got cancelled after their spotting laps as there was too much standing water on the track. I hung around to watch while the M25 traffic quietened down.

Nope we got it running - albeit a bit late

Lots of smiling faces too so all well.
