Can't make it to Brands this year, had to pull out, but going to head to Rockingham a fortnight later so thought I'd check out the site and refresh my memory of how to get there. During my delve into their site I came across a bit of a shocker - they've got Holden V8 supercars you can take round the track!!!!! Guess I know what I'll be doing for my hols this summer

Well worth a go I would say Bob. May try it too - pound/euro exchange rate permitting! Are you going to Donnington 3rd/4th May?

not sure about Donny yet - can't remember what time I've got off around then. Going to Oulton Park(?) first weekend in June as its the most northerly race after Knockhill and its somewhere new to me. Its also an excuse to be away over my "big" birthday this year. Have been to Donny twice now and after last years washout I'm not sure I fancy going back again although it is a good circuit to watch the races.

Croft is the 31st May and 1st June for the BTCC this year, Oulton park is 26/27th July. I'll manage Croft. Not too far from Geordieland and ONLY 440 miles from home!

This obviously got my attention as well. I am still clarifying the spec of the cars as the headline picture is of a Holden Race team V8, (we won the three support events last weekend at the Melbourne GP) but the brochure picture looks like one of the 20 cars we built for the Bahrain Race Circuit for a one make series event. The BRC Cars were ex road cars, built by HSV with LS1 engines and VZ panels.

a fortnight after the Brands meet - thats unusual is it not to have 2 so soon? Be delighted if it is as it'll save me the price of 1 entry ticket Just as well I popped in here for a quick look as I was about to go order my tickets online.
