Some very good grids and very nice machinery in prospect, and it's looking a good weekend weather-wise too. Am there on Sunday, don't forget the suncream everyone!

Looks very good all round. Should be there both days. In Memory of their stupendous effort at the Le Mans 24hrs, I've swapped my Ferrari for a Toyota.

Not too sure about two 1hr and 40 mins races but looks an OK meeting - bring plenty of drinks and sun cream - Sunday is going to be Hot! Hot! Hot!

Did anyone get to this meeting?
I was there on the Saturday as my son was karting, but included were 2 general admission tickets to the event. Between his sessions we enjoyed the qualifying and races. Watching the 1930s cars racing left me in no doubt that it is true that the drivers do these cars justice - they really do race them hard! One of the more curious highlights was to find my wife to be something of the crash magnet - one of the GT4s collecting the barrier fairly hard rear-end first (driver ok) not more than 4 meters from where we were stood, and then 2 cars off later in the day bringing out the red flags. The weather was blistering sunshine and copious amounts of factor 50 were applied. Not sure if this will work... but here goes.. |

Bravo,As you say it went in hard, I was even nearer than you, just behind the armco barrier. Nice to see the driver walk away, when the dust had settled (pun intended). Great work by all involved in what were initially dangerous circumstances until the red flag was out.

As one of the "thirties" drivers on the Saturday I would like to thank all the marshalls for such great work in sweltering heat, it allowed a fantastic day of racing. Very much appreciated.

I was in my little Fiat Abarth in the Touring Greats race last thing on Sunday. Thanks to all the marshals who endured soaring temperatures and plenty of work in the day.
I had a superb race with my class mate Moggy Minor who eventually won the fight after my baby Fiat suffered a head gasket failure. Thanks to the chaps I stood with for looking after me and putting up with me as I shouted support to husband Jason driving our Lancia Aurelia to a great 3rd in class. Thank as ever chaps - we are indebted to your hard work and great humour. Hope you enjoyed the racing! |

Thanks to all the orange army and colleagues enduring the heat for hours and hours this weekend, especially the lonely posts out on the GP circuit, as we don't get chance to wave thanks at the end of the race! We had a great time and achieved Agatha the A105's best results yet in HRDC Touring Greats.

A little warm and no shade but what a fantastic weekend.... so big thanks to all involved. Great cars, good grids, some cracking racing.
Cheers to the team on P9 over the weekend for the the work and the company - pleasure to work with you. Special mention for our Taster Day marshal who quickly got stuck in on Sunday including assisting on track with the cars coming off end of session - look forward to seeing her back on the bank soon. See folks around Dave |

Thanks to all the drivers for their kind words and having such great races in fine machinery. Thanks to all on post 8 over the weekend, especially taster day Laura, who became my fellow rag and stick merchant on Sunday and really enjoyed it.
Thanks to all for the impeccably observed minutes silence on Sunday. Shame they didn't let an ice cream van come round at lunchtime! |

As already said above, brilliant meeting, beautiful cars, friendly and appreciative drivers, large grids. Well done to the startline crew, led by Bev, with Nick, Cheryl, Matt, Roger, Georgina, Paul, Colin, Mark, all who helped Darryll with a busy pitlane including many "guests".
Unfortunately this will be my last Brands Hatch meeting for some time now, for medical reasons, although I still have the Goodwood Festival to go. Stay safe everyone. |
