Don`t forget the DTM as well !! (fingers tightly crossed)....

jonbryant · 2 Sep 2005, 10:17 (Ref:1397160)

DTM aswell!? Hadn't heard that one! Yippee!

The rehabilitation of Brands continues. Credit to MSV I feel...

Elio · 2 Sep 2005, 10:38 (Ref:1397173)

Well, all three are seemingly very tentative - the WTCC appears to be the most done-est deal!

**Stephen Green** · 2 Sep 2005, 10:44 (Ref:1397178)

Splendid news...

May I steer this back onto the subject of the A1GP though please. Thanks!

When you say our names, do you mean all of ours????

I've had no confirmation yet, or tickets, or am I a bit keen??

With regard to camping you need to ask the BRSCC

I can confirm from MSV Brands Hatch that there will be separate Marshals Camp Site for the A1 GP Meeting.
It will be located on the Airfield, that is the large open area behind Brands Hatch bounded by Scratchers Lane/A20. Entry will probably be via the dedicated entry of the A20. The site for Marshals will be fenced-off, provided with Toilets etc, and FREE. This site should give easier access to the Kentagon and the Circuit as it is within the curtilage of Brands. O'k Guys and Girls?

JonJ · 3 Sep 2005, 10:56 (Ref:1397848)

Thanks for the info on camping. Would I be right in assuming that the campsite will be open from the thursday?

archaic gold · 3 Sep 2005, 11:57 (Ref:1397892)

Sorry, JonJ, not sure at the moment but if my 'man' is at his desk, I should get an answer shortly! Watch this thread!!

O'k. my man answered - Yes, Thursday from Midday (1200 hours) - Next question!! And yes, the Toilets will also include a Shower block!

JonJ · 3 Sep 2005, 16:17 (Ref:1398036)

Cheers for the update archiac.

CombeMarshal · 3 Sep 2005, 20:11 (Ref:1398137)

Is it a safe camp site, will I still have a car when I get back!!

**Stephen Green** · 3 Sep 2005, 22:25 (Ref:1398216)

Dear God, this is Kent we are talking about, your car and possessions will be safe (ish)

CombeMarshal · 4 Sep 2005, 10:54 (Ref:1398468)

Thats ok then, I wonder if my car will be cleaned and serviced for when I get back!!!

gwar · 5 Sep 2005, 14:29 (Ref:1399555)

Thankyou for update on campsite ARCHAIC GOLD,

garybirch · 5 Sep 2005, 22:54 (Ref:1399930)

So I just bought me a little tent today so i don't have to sleep in the back of the car! Have been more of a regular at Combe now I've moved westcountry way so haven't spent much time with the old Brands crew and many won't really know me, but I'll be there fri & sat pm...somewhere...if people are feeling friendly!
Got a Silver BMW 318i Estate and small blue tent.
Really looking forward to the event - I don't care about the lack of lunch breaks when there's a full programme with decent grids.
See you there.
Gary

Unless there's a car boot sale.....

Don't even joke! I still remember the hell that was trying to get into the champ car meet. What stupid **** in Kent Constabulary decided that they could run a huge Brands meeting and a boot sale on the same day. One and a half hours to get from the M20 slip road to Brands! Mind you, that was 3 hours less than it took me to get out at the end of the day

Elio · 6 Sep 2005, 09:01 (Ref:1400128)

Though moving slightly off topic - that boot fair at the top of Wrotham Hill is causing more and more delays. Something NEEDS to be done so that cars ARE NOT charged at the entrance to the field - thus causing cars to queue on the road. A charge point NEEDS to be set up WITHIN the venue so that cars can queue off the public highway. If I can find out whether there is a boot fair on A1 weekend I will try to post here - maybe the ten-tenthers who are coming might want to get onto multimap.com and plot themselves a route through "the sticks" to avoid the Sunday morning carnage at Wrotham... I know I will be.

**Stephen Green** · 6 Sep 2005, 09:19 (Ref:1400149)

See my thread in this in Parc Ferme and my subsequent e-mails to Kent Police.

archaic gold · 6 Sep 2005, 16:48 (Ref:1400528)

To Pip squeak 111 - Sorry, I must take you up on the CART meeting - took you 3 hours to get out?? I left about 7pm, and there was not a car on the road! I checked with the KCC control for Brands Hatch, and they said there had been no major problems and the traffic cleared quickly.
Anyway, to the present; as yet I do not know about the Boot Fair, but just in case; turn off the M25 straight onto the M20 coastbound to the next junction, and then turn back up the A20 to Brands Hatch. You can come into Scratchers Lane from the opposite end! O'k?

Jan Gower · 7 Sep 2005, 12:21 (Ref:1401301)

As I am from up norrffish and have only been to Brands Hatch x2 times I can vaugely remember how to get there, now I am so confused with this Car Boot Sale and travelling around the 'sticks', can anyone advise me which way to go?... politely if possible please.. I am looking forward to meeting up with you all, well the marshals I know, maybe meet some new ones, and certainly looking forward to the weekends . Jan
