Anyone else signed up for this ? Not sure how many spaces are left, but £125 for the evening sounds good to me so i'm booked through MSV.

Mike.

Might be worth speaking with Adams & Page over in High Wycombe, they seem to be very competitive on track related tyres. I've ordered some Toyo R1R's through them and they were the cheapest I found. Looks like a fair number of relative novices are going and its road cars only so no single seater nutters !

Bugger, i'm in France otherwise might have been up for it.

Am contemplating Castle Coombe next monday. Or Rockingham on 25th. Or the 26th is only £125 for whole day!

Well that was well-timed Mike! Was sat at my desk thinking I ought to book something at Brands before we move further away... and this is the day after my lad's last GCSE so he'll be happy too.

Looking forward to Brands on Thursday with new sticky toyos.

Dave - what time will you be getting there and where are you coming from ? 3 or 4 of us are coming from Chelmsford, happy to meet en route if you like.

...I won't try to keep up on the bends then... smile ...unless it rains!

Probably aim for shortly after 3 to allow a leisurely coffee beforehand... coming up from Sussex so just about the opposite direction from you!


Anyone else fancy this BTW? It wasn't fully booked when I checked yesterday.

Bumpety bump... there are still spaces on for this evening (need to be at Brands by about 4pm), so if you fancy a drive in the sunshine...

See you later Mike!

I've been lurking for a while and am on the verge of purchase. Would it be okay for me to drop by Brands later to drool over a couple of cars? Seems rude not to as I'm only 2 miles down the road!

Thanks
Andy

Great to meet and chat to a couple of owners. Special thanks to Mike who took me round for a few laps. It's another push to get me to finally commit and buy one!

What a cracking evening that was. No serious incidents, no major queues and mostly good driving...

Mike - good to meet you and your crew; hope your journey home was smooth. We ended up tailing that lovely yellow Carrera 4 (a touch sedate on the track) nearly all the way home!

Andy - hope your search comes to fruition shortly, and look forward to seeing you in a Noble soon.

There were lots of people taking pictures last night; if anyone comes across any I'd be grateful for a link... especially if they include <cough>someone</cough> getting a little drifty out of Druids... smile

Andy/Dave - good to meet you both.

What a cracking evening, bright sunshine, a track that wasnt too busy and all drivers being sensible, courteous and having a good time. As ususal a very well run MSV event (just like Melindi's......smile).

For those considering track/road tyres, I have to say i was extremely impressed witht the Toyo R1R's, once i got them warm and at the right pressure they were awesome, gave plenty of grip and inspired confidence in and out of the turns, thoroughly recommended !

Dave - I'll see if Stu has some photos of your car (which looked great in red by the way and sounded aggresive on full chat).

Andy - sorry the passenger ride was cut short, but hope you are able to find a suitable vehicle soon.

Mike.
