Dunno about wearing a tie, but bring a warm coat, it can get a bit blowy on these airfields.

To clarify:

Dress code will be black tie as usual (joking aside, heed Daz's advice - it can get a bit cold)

I've yet to meet any riff raff on ph!

Re the 456, pls email me & I'll get you straight onto the reserve list, re speeds, I think the owner has a 456 and has got to around 180ish (190 on the speedo)
Top speed we've done so far is Daz at 192mph.

Sorry I cant be arsed to read 19 pages either.

When is this? My Elise wouldnt be very suitable but my father has just bought a Ferrari 456 GTA and is keen to give it a bit of a workout.

What sort of speed can you hit at Brunters?

Just emailed Craig. I have already mentioned it to the old man who was keen so fingers crossed.

Do they have timing equipment there? if not I will plug in my Road Angel which is accurate to within a couple of MPH

Thanks Plotless

What are the conditions like there? Any problems with stone chips or lots of tyre wear?

I've only been once before so am perhaps not the best person to ask. The day as a whole though goes off very well. Marshalling and overall organisation is first class.

As for stone chips the gaps between cars are good and large for just that reason and when it comes to tyre wear I suppose that depends on you more than anything

as plotloss says, we keep people far enough apart that stonechips aren't a problem. To echo him once more, tyre wear is down to how you drive on the day really.

Guys&Gals... PLEASE SEE NEW THREAD IN EVENTS SECTION..THANKS.
