I was wondering who gave that cone a hammering Flew a long way to the other side, didn't it?
I hope your car wasn't damaged.

remark,have a big breakfast.

Jon, just think you could have a runny yellow / orange GT stripe splashed on the inside. Make sure Dave takes a bucket with him.

Wise words, I share your concerns I had a wasted day at Mallory a few years ago because the track was closed to recover cars that had left the black stuff when it went to open pit lane in the afternoon. I don't think I get a full lap in.

We have some element of control by not getting dragged into a "race" but backing off and if the standard of driving by some is very poor then getting the MSV folks to "have a word".

Based on the wording of their website I hope MSV will marshal it tightly, it is my first time at Brands so have no experience of their approach.

Roll on Thursday.

 

Brands will have a word to anyone whos out of control or dangerous, ive heard them over the tannoy warning everyone about driving behaviour before

"They" can't as they have to meet their MSA Track Licence commitments.

anyway, what do you think the gravel-traps & run-off-asphalt is for?

what's the problem, they are road legal!

Was that gearbox man you use not near Brands? I could drop my rear diff off Wednesday to get the flange changed and pick it up Thursday after the Track day.
