Seeing as how everyone had a good time..... surely it's time to book the next one while you're still in the mood!

Tempting, but £215 is more than I'm willing to spend - at least at this year anyway.

I do want to do the Indy circuit in June/July though, especially as I missed out on yesterdays antics.

Yup, it's a bit steep. I know Sam wants to get out on Brands Indy, so we're looking at end of June for that.... we'll let people know what we decide on.

The only other thing I don't like about Brands GP other than the price is missing the end bit of Brands Indy, that has to be my favourite part of the track.

But you do get roughly the same distance again of tarmac-y goodness :D

Plus, I'd imagine your coming in to Clearways a whole lot faster :D

No, you would be coming DOWN clearways into Clarke a whole lot faster.

Aparently its a common mistake tho.

Clearways is carp on the indy, it is even more carp on the GP ;)

Dingle-Dell/Sheens is summin else :shock: I love the LH turn after it (Stirlings) it is cambered and you can round there with your body effectively horizontal 8)


For those that like left handers, that one is a corker :cool::cool::cool::cool::cool:

Hawthorn is a brown trouser job both the straight and the bend (the straight you are convinced you will be decapitated by the bridge ... the bend is f-fast and totally BLIND :shock: ) .. as is westfiled ... basically the whole GP bit will have you bricking your pants!! :D .. well it does me anyway :oops:

AWESOME!! 8) 8) 8)

Awww... that's kind of you to say.

What a brilliant day!

Previous Crashy McGees keeping it upright; Strimmer keeping away from the grass; and we all had an absolute hoot on the track.

I can't begin to tell you how much fun I had. And I discovered which bit of my bike scrapes the ground first on the RHS - the screw of my exhaust pipe clamp bracket thingy. Coming round Druids. :D
