3rd and fourth

may need second at druids depends how you nail it.

the left after serrtess (sp) you need to drive straight keeping left to the outside of the track (aim for the marshal point) and then turn in tight gentley relaxing your turn out whilst you push hom th throttle. should be passing race control at 115 or more

mega cicuit brands and easy to get comfortable with as its so short

let us know how you get on

sorry cant answer your questions but brands is a scary track when you are in the factory westfield S2000!!!

Thats where my kit car days started!

Great track the Brands Indy - just over a mile, so you get round soon enough to remember how you took the bends the last time and hopefully get better!
