Default Brands Hatch - full GP circuit - Monday 13th August

As the title says. It's being run by No Limits and is, I reckon, a bargain at £169.

I've done Brands a couple of times before, but never the full GP circuit.

I spoke to No Limits today to ask about the fact that they’re running two Inters groups. They said it’s basically because they need to run 4 groups on the day to keep the costs down – otherwise it would be about £280 if they were just running Fast, Inters & Novice.

He said that each group would still get the usual 6 sessions on track – but each session would be cut by a couple of minutes in order to accommodate everyone.


I asked if there was a difference between the two Inters groups: “Intermediate2” and Intermediate” – and he said that Inters 2 is effectively a ‘fast’ Inters (and it’s listed on the booking page directly under the Fast group).

So, I’m going to go into plain old Inters

Who will join me?

Then the 45 minute wait seems ages as you haven't been satisfied by the 15 minutes!

Depending on work I'd love to come with the camera and do pics. But it's Test match week so I may be too busy.
