I've got a jacket you could use if you can find some trousers. It's very fitted on me so should be ok on you.

Wheeeeeeeee...!

Re: Brands Hatch (Indy) - Thursday 2nd July
 

I'll be the fastest .org in my group :D











and the slowest :rolleyes:

Re: Brands Hatch (Indy) - Thursday 2nd July
 

I'm thinking of taking the crown for slowest orger in this particular group if I can afford the day, the petrol and the inevitable new back tyre.

Do you lot get insurance?

Re: Brands Hatch (Indy) - Thursday 2nd July
 

i dont, gives me that little bit more incentive not to bin it you see ;)

And i didn't need a new tyre just cos of the trackday mate. Unless your's is already low dont worry about it. Mines due to be changed soon so i'l have a very new tyre in time for this. yay.

Re: Brands Hatch (Indy) - Thursday 2nd July
 

I'm seriously considering it. I got a quote from these guys:

http://www.pitandpaddock.com/trackday_insurance.asp

and it came out at £90 covering the plastics too.

Re: Brands Hatch (Indy) - Thursday 2nd July
 

Interesting... do they cover leathers and helmets too?

Re: Brands Hatch (Indy) - Thursday 2nd July
 

Go on what's the excess? 500 notes?

Re: Brands Hatch (Indy) - Thursday 2nd July
 

Nope, it's £250 which is pretty good. I don't think they cover helmets and leathers though.

B&B options

Okay people, here's what we're looking at...

We need: 6 rooms
1. Me
2. Zombie J
3. Spideyman & Monkeyman
4. Demonz & Lucas
5. mr & mrs anderson
6. Bendy couple

If we all want to stay in the same place:

Thistle Hotel (at the circuit)
http://www.thistle.com/hotels/dartford/rooms/
Singles - £85
Twins - £47.50 per person
Doubles - £47.50 per person

These are 'advance' prices and have to be paid in full at time of booking and are non-refundable. It's about an extra £10 for a 'non-special' rate. I'm happy to book it all on my credit card, but I'll need reimbursing straight away.

Advantages - we can all have brekky etc together; it's in the grounds of the circuit; if other orgers want to book too then this shouldn't be a problem as it's a large hotel; I'm happy to call them to try and negotiate them down a bit as it's a 'group' booking.

Disadvantages - the most expensive option.


If we're happy to split into a couple of groups:

The Rising Sun pub (Fawkham - about 0.5 mile from Brands)
http://www.risingsun-fawkham.co.uk/b...breakfast.html

3 x twins - £50 single occ / £32.50 pp double occ
2 x doubles - £55 single occ / £37.50 pp double occ

Black horse pub (Stansted - no, not that one - about 3 miles from Brands)
http://www.pub-explorer.com/olpg/the...sted/index.htm
1 x twin - £45 single occ / £32.50 pp double occ
1 x double - £45 single occ / £32.50 pp double occ
1 x triple (double & single) - £45 single occ / £32.50 pp double occ / £25 pp triple occ

Advantages & disadvantages - the opposite of the ones above :D.

I did look at other B&Bs, but they're either a bit too far away or they're already booked.

I'm happy to go with either option, so let me know what y'all think!
