Brands Hatch Indy - Thurs 17th Nov

[L100NYY]

Anybody from here going to the Brands Indy trackday organised with Goldtrack?


I'm doing Snetterton on Sun 13th Nov but may well do this Brands one as well.

So any PH'ers going?

Funds allowing I'll see you there then!

Tell your mate to hurry up - I've only got 4 places left. Melindi www.goldtrack.co.uk

I'd better hurry up and then decide too then!

Just going to have to rummage down the back of the sofa for some money!

Oh go on, that must be worth something?



I would dearly love to be there on Thurs but I've just bought a new flat and things are that tight that I've actually started to squeak when I walk!

Probably best. See you next season!

hi all, i'm booked on the goldtrack day at brands on thursday next week (in the seven) . done days at brunters and bedford before but it's my first time on a 'real' track (with barriers to hit!) - any brands experts out there got some tips for a first timer? i've got tuition booked but would be nice to get any other advice available. thanks in advance si.

Brands is an absolutely superb circuit and is a great introduction to real circuit driving as it's a relatively short track so doesn't take much remembering.
This means that you can spend more time refining your lines and perfecting your technique rather than worrying about which way the circuit goes! Despite only being a short track it does have a nice combination of both fast and slow(er) corners that really test your faith in the Caterham's grip levels.

I've done a few days at Brands Indy in a few of my different Superlights and loved every single minute of it, the only warning I would give is that you take care at Paddock. When the track drops away it does so pretty dramatically and the car goes quite light until you hit the compression at the bottom where the suspension really gets given a full workout (as does your stomach)! Oh and Paddock has a blind apex as well!


This picture doesn't do the steepness justice but gives you an idea! Believe me it is a lot steeper when you are sitting at the top! Weeeeeee...............
