Brands Hatch this Sunday

[itsallyellow]

After an awfull season where we have only entered one race so far... We will be racing in the GT cup at Brands this Sunday 19th.

As allways it would be great to have some cerb support there. The car is all ready to go so hopping to put on a good show.

Thanks

Mike, mini rugby coaching prevents me attending Sunday, but there is a nice shiny set of new sponsor's decals winging their way to you

Good luck

Unfortunately I can't make it but would have loved to.

What engine are you running now, I remember watching you out power every think up the hill to Druids a couple of years ago, awesome, are you still running 4.7?

[itsallyellow]

Due to the regulations this year we have had to run a 4.5 however we have a 4.7 for next year.

The reason we look so quick up that hill is the amount of speed we can carry through paddock hill bend. Got to love the agility of a cerb!

Good luck Mike, hope it all goes well. Is the head gasket all sorted?

I don't suppose anyone happens to be coming up to brands this Sunday from Exeter direction who could possibly bring a gearbox up for me???

yep coper gaskets on now. Looking forward to getting out there and really pushing her. I think hawthorns is begging to be tried flat.....

[BLUETHUNDER]

Well how did the qualifying go? I'm only going tomorrow to watch the Cerb.

[itsallyellow]

Had a difficult day today. Only got 6 laps of practice in due to an oil leek which we have now hopefully cured.

We qualified 2nd 0.01 off of pole. Sobim pretty pleased with that after a rather rubbish day. Don't like starting on pole anyway! I'm rubbish when im in the lead!

[BLUETHUNDER]

Well at least you will be there. It wont be a wasted trip for me. See you there. And good luck for tomorrow

Some great racing. Missed the mornings action. But was there for the second race. Was rather gutted that Michael came out at the first lap. Johnny Wilson held it up for the Cerbs. Will post some pics later.

You should have said yesterday that you were going mate. I'd have popped along with you!

[BLUETHUNDER]

I was still undecided on going as i had a late one last night. Thought u would be up to your elbows in cerb stuff after seeing the car yesterday.

A few pics from me......

A bit of F3..



And a spin..



The GT,s..



This AM Vantage takes the award for best sounding car of the day. It just sounded awesome.....



A personal favourite for me. But a poor performer on the day...


Mosler M900

Cerb big boys. Jonny Wilsons Cerb...


And mikes....


Mikes on the warm up lap...


And off at the first turn of the first lap..



Was gutted as all i could hear was the commentators saying that it,s a really strong car and mike takes no prisoners.

A dejected mike and Cerb..


Felt for you mate.

Johnny in the race....


And amongst the thick of it..


Had a great afternoon. Shame i couldn't see the Mike blasting around. But there is always next time.

I even took the Cerb..

Thanks to everyone who came along, especially Mark for all his help and the teams that came to my aid after I binned it in qualifying!

My first race was crap as I thought we had another lap after formation!! What a nob! So I let 5 cars past me at the start.

Second race was more favourable where I got up to sixth, from 14th, behind Marco Pullen's Ferrari but span coming through Dingle Dell into Sheen!!! Glancing hit of the Armco at about 70 mph and stalled, got started back in 21st ish and enjoyed a carve through to 11th, shame about the spin but I was a passenger!

Fortunately the diff seized after the race as the cooler smashed in the boot from the Armco impact!! Good job there rather than Pilgrims at 150ish!

Cheers

Jonny
