Wtcc - 23.09.07

tullster · 23 Sep 2007, 20:00 (Ref:2021236)

Firstly, thanks to all those on post 18 who made the weekend good fun - we had enough to keep us busy throughout the weekend and the additions by the camera man kept us occupied during the downtime (Those who were there will know what i mean!

)

Moving on, I feel it's only right i share this one - 2nd race - a certain IO was tasked with collecting Mr Larini's front offside headlight unit from trackside - simple stuff so far - come the end of the race he was seen crouched in his chair taking the lamps out of the said unit!!!!!!!

It only remains for me to say, you can take the IO out of Liverpool ......

Dee and I had a great weekend on post 20, Our cameraman well.... I have known more charismatic tea bags but nevermind. Great weekend. Great team and a good giggle. Also had fun in the Kentagon on Saturday evening. Cheers for the free beer Mr Plamer always apprciated and cheers to who ever organised the free brekky for doing the hot laps (Mildred?? Thanks) and Dee managed to blag a ride in one of the cars too, cheeky cow.

BSA Susie · 24 Sep 2007, 08:20 (Ref:2021485)

Ditto to the good time and the free vouchers on Saturday night and a fantastic breaky, which just about beat me! Thanks to all involved.

I had a great time with our limited numbers on 6.

I'm very happy as I got 2 hats, a WTCC one from a (drunk) catering worker in the bar and a Brands Hatch winners one from the last Porsche race.

If you don't ask, you don't get!

Great to meet Mr Bryant too, but is a just a coincidence that as we were chatting a WTCC spun past us on the way to the grid!

The JB effect again!

Ditto Susie! I have to say I think my effect is over-rated... Although yes, I had just turned up when the WTCC spun.

And I was at Sheene when the Aston hit the barrier...

And I turned up on Post 10 for 5 seconds before a spin that almost took out 3 others...

Be afraid if I turn up

Just watched the highlights of the races on Eurosport, the IO concerned cannot deny this as one shot shows quite clearly the "gentleman" concerned trotting off the track having just collected his booty!

Mike Kelly 1 · 24 Sep 2007, 09:31 (Ref:2021555)

OK, hands up, the IO in question was me! The bulbs from Mr Larinis car are now sitting in my spares box, as for the lamp unit it was beyond salvaging!

On a professional point, I would like to thank everyone on post 18 for the enjoyable weekend. We didn't have too many incidents over the 3 days but those that we did have were handled speedily and most importantly safely! Even if the International Formula Master (Formula Fire!) manged to pull off at the furthest point from us with a burning engine! My son Tom enjoyed his first two days as a marshal and even managed to get in a WTCC Seat as it was was being recovered. Thanks for everyone on post for making him welcome. I think we have captured a new marshal at a young age. I just hope that BRSCC (SE) alllow him to go on the bank for the Formula Ford Festival.

Great weekend thanks to god knows how many free beer tokens on Friday and Saturday night!!!! Good craic on Post 25 and good job to the lads to deal with the Seat on fire on Sunday and the Marcos on Saturday.

A great weekend down on the beach at the bottom of Paddock Hill. A great team and nice to meet visiting marshals from the West Country. Thanks Robin and Keiron. Hope you had a good trip home. It was a fairly quiet weekend for us though I did have to watch the highlights of both WTCC races this morning to see what happened as in the first race we had visitors, Nicola Larini and the Russian driver. By the time we had the cars moved, chatted to Larini an wrote the report up the race was over. Second race, in came Alex Zanardi on the first lap. Again by the time the team and got the car moved to a place of safety, helped Alex in through the gravel, chat etc write report
race over!

Considering that both Larini and Zanardi were in the kitty litter through no fault of their own, they were both very much gentlemen thanking the whole team for their help. Some BTCC people could learn some manners from both of these gentlemen.

Sorry if I scared anyone by appearing on the telly chatting to Nicola Larini in the first race, but it was unknown to me. However I looked reasonably slim compared to the originator of this thread who had appeared on the box the previous day. In fact he was given a new nickname on Sunday by Bacon Sandwich. So Mr Tullster, how much for not spilling the beans on your new name

Being as he spilled the beans on my relocating of Chevrolet light bulbs I am more than willing to inform all and sundry of Mr Tulls new nickname.

Bribes willingly accepted.

You should see the JB effect on the pit girls too. JB on one knee, peering through the view finder and the poor lasses knickers, and she points out to him that he hasn't even got the lens cap off. Tut tut John.

jonbryant · 24 Sep 2007, 20:39 (Ref:2022087)

You git

I'd just rushed to change lens and hadn't noticed!

I'll get you for that one Mr Cooke! <shakes fist>

You too mate as ever. When you at Brands next? FFF?

Bryan Degerlund · 26 Sep 2007, 10:25 (Ref:2023348)

For all marshals who helped at WTCC at Brands Hatch last weekend. An extract from email from Dave Scott, which applies to one and all....

"The timetable was a challenge and the difficulty of moving cars to and from the paddock presented particular issues.

Notwithstanding, we made it and, except where competitors antics produced a shortened race, everyone got what they were promised.

Eduardo Freitas, along with the MSA Steward Nicky Moffitt and the International Stewards Carlos Bertrand and Yves Bacqueline were most complimentary and passed on their thanks to all concerned with the running of the event.""

Again, well done folks!!

Nighthawk · 26 Sep 2007, 10:26 (Ref:2023350)

Hi all,

Im new on here but hi to Chris (Brands Hatch Post 4a) had a great day at the WTCC my first ever weekend and we will definatley be returning, the attitude of everyone was twice as good as some others circuits.

I was suprised when i walked in on Friday mornin and Mildred tells me that im on Paddock Hill well what a introduction.

We had Tiago Monteiro in the tire wall in the Saturday warm-up what a nice guy he was.

Then in the first race we had Nikkala Larrini and the young russian bloke again nice guys, then i had a little challenge as i had to help Alex Zanardi through the gravel.

But like i said all nice people a great team to work with espcially Chris, thanks for the introduction we will be back for trucks.
