Brands Hatch Indy-13th June
Anyone doing it? Bit wary about it being the 13th but at least it's not a Friday!
While I'm here any seasoned riders care to write me a guide to the track? Have been there before but am really a complete novice. I have issues with Clark curve and it's funny camber and Graham Hill bend and the approach although I understand they have changed it a wee bit. Anyone been before and after they changed it? |

Re: Brands Hatch Indy-13th June
I should be there on the 13th, as long as i survive on thursday at Brands !!(31 May)
Can just about manage 56 seconds around the Indy circuit, considering the mini twin seris leaders whizz around in low 53's, is pretty average. I only have trouble at Paddock, keep braking to early. Graham hill i take in 3rd at about 9k on the rev counter but i know it can be taken much faster. all in the mind!! good luck, hope to see you there |

Re: Brands Hatch Indy-13th June
Er what what?! EH?! Oh dear. I must be doing something terribly wrong. Although to be fair a geezer had a nasty high side when I was there so that put the wind up me.
While I think about it can either of you talk me through Clark curve and onto the straight cos I'm dead nervous about the off camber there and just don't know when to get on the gas or how hard-come to think of it I don't know how much to give it out of any corner. How can I tell without the back going? |

Re: Brands Hatch Indy-13th June
Are you doing the day or evening slot? Looks like the evening one has booked out already but some left in the day.
