Brands hatch 30 oct open pit lane

I will be booking up later this week, anyone want to share the costs of a garage?

Big enough to get 4 cars in one

Cheers Mark

Every time I have been to brands (quite a lot as its only 20mins away) Very few peps book garages, there is always a least 10 empty ones. Enter by the main gate from the A20, as the paddock entrance is always closed. When in the pits, drive to the end garage nos 30 -31

Hello Bizzle, perfect weather indeed, the track was a little damp first thing, however we stayed with slicks all day.

Best lap time based upon vid recordings 54.98 seconds, I know where it is possible to gain a little more, braking later after the pit lane for a start but a very good time for a £3000 car

Puts me into Porsche 911 GT3 RS best lap times.

I will try and put up a vid later on, struggling with Utube, never posted on this before.

Cheers Mark

Which car did you use? Thats not a bad time.

Last time out the big lesson eddie99 taught me was late apex and lots of speed through surtees.

This time round its late breaking into paddock,as you mention, and more speed carried through druids. Also to concentrate on getting a better set up generally.

Paddock is all about big balls. By the end of my last day there i was contemplating not even shifting out of fourth and just stabbing the brakes hard as it settles after the brow. Big words now, ill report back at the end of the month!!

Well done. I would love to see the vits.

Spanked hard turbo blade

Had to back off by the pits to help preserve the engine.

Still trying with vids my Internet explorer is not supported.

Here is a terrible vid finally, I need another camera, sold as HD, seems to be CCTV quality.

Not sure if it includes a sub 56 sec but you can see how fast I can slip by cars.... lots of blocking
