3 weeks today. I'll be back sharing the red car for GTSCC, with practice on Friday and race before lunch on Saturday. All very civilised as usual! Will help me get home and organised for LMC departure straight after the w/end......
Sadly the most important member of the team, the car owner's wife Kate, will be missing as a scheduled lengthy op has been bought forward to the Saturday. Won't be the same without Kate in charge on the pitwall, so will doing our best for her and trying not to mess up the strategy in her absence! No pressure! |

Mike, this is the one circuit I do not want to miss. Driving the maroon Chev Camaro in Historic Road Sports.

Hoping to attend all 3 days, plans will be finalised tomorrow.
As a spectator you can't beat wandering around the GP circuit |

If any of you get bored at BH, pop over to Dunsfold and have a gander at TheSupercar Event we'd be delighted to see you and any combinations of multiple £50 notes will be gratefully accepted in aid of The Children's Trust
End of blatant off thread plug. |

Apologies for going O/T- I've always associated the place with Land Rovers, with 'The Dunsfold Collection' being based there, but gather it is also where some TV car programme was/is filmed?
So you're not in a SC somewhere that weekend, then, Ian? |

I'm afraid that a charity event for brain damaged children that raised £125k in a weekend last year comes before any racing event. See TSE website.

There seems to have been a name change for the event- now 'Legends of Brands Hatch, incorporating the Superprix'.
Answers on a postcard, please..... No timetable on the HSCC website yet, but have received the following provisional one courtesy of GTSCC- |

Suspect rebranding is due to MSV promise to big it up as part of HSCC anniversary. Much sexier than plain old Superprix. Going to be a great weekend woteva!

If anyone can't find the SuperTouring or GTSCC cars, we will be paddocked away in the boondocks somewhere- basically the tarmac car park outside the circuit, way behind race control and the foot tunnel access to it.....

This escaped my attention- better get the old helmet polished....... Sadly don't think one hour will be enough to feature all the races.
Just got to work out how to watch the prog. Looks like yootube to the rescue! http://www.hscc.org.uk/hscc-media/2-...c-brands-hatch |

The rally cars use the tarmac area opposite the back of the main hospitality buildings/retail units as a pits for their rally stage meetings because the main paddock gets utilised as part of the rally stage. There's quite a bit of room there although if Mr Cleland and the like turn up with their full entourage it could get a bit cosy! I'll be camping in my van for the weekend( although my own vehicle is not quite the luxurious abode which Alan now enjoys in the FF2000 supervan), so I hope to catch up with some of you guys over the weekend.

As I'm not getting suntanned in Spain this weekend I might just pop up and take a look, I will be bringing some decent weather with me so you can thank me for that

Gordon, I assumed you were one of the Brands Hatch 'Legends' the meeting title refers to, so would be granted access accordingly!
Our qualifying was OK, except until with couple of minutes to go! 'On it' through Clearways, and catching a Grantura rapidly, suddenly the car in question suffered a rear suspension failure. It snapped round right in front of me and I had absolutely nowhere to go, hitting it's rear quarter with my front quarter. Only the second time I've ever hit a spinning car, and Sod's law, both times in the vulnerable nosed, alloy bodied SLR! Not happy, but after watching video from our car and the car that was behind me, it really was a case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time..... So last eve, while I hammered out the nose as mush as possible, the lads from Brands Hatch Morgans straightened out the front frame and tie rod, and fitted a new king pin. Lucky we were racing at their local circuit! Touch wood all ready to go again..... |

Mike you are not alone in hitting a spinning car at Clearways ! In a winter race years ago I was vying for the lead when a Fiesta did that about 10ft in front of me and put me out, but as the saying goes "that's motor racing"
