Hope to make it along at least to watch, will examine the pennies and may well book up. Is Brands Indy recommended for a first track day?

Brands Hatch Indy is quite entertaining, probably not that good for a first track day but you have to start somewhere and at least it is local. Not only that, you have yours truly and a few others there to help you along. Would be good to see you get out and about but if you are not up to it, then please feel free to come along and watch. We can all tell you the lines and point you in the right direction, not literally of course.....!

There'll definitely be a few along. Me, Jacqui (team manager) and Wal (fellow minitwinner) will be there, plus possibly series organiser TiM, and quick lady racer Sam. I'd be surprised if there weren't a few more turn up.

Brands Indy is a short cicuit so good for a beginner not to much to take in in one day.
So do it you will not regret it

There were some more, some blurred and some of empty pieces of track! - I shall have to get Chief Wobbler trained in the art of photography. Chief Wobbler has taken some nice shots though, we particularly like the one of Jason contemplating his task ahead.

Excellent day out (and the evening before!). Big thanks to RedWine for coming to the rescue after that extra portion of Xmas pudd had turned out to be too much for the zip on my leathers!

Chief Wobbler - good pics, could you email me the ones of myself so I can start the 2006 collection?

Dave - thanks for the compliments about the photography, the ones of you on track were taken by me. I have a few and will sort them out for you. Did like the one of you packed and ready to go home though, Chief Wobbler has to take the credit for that one.

Was great of Red Wine to come to the rescue with the leathers. Shame mine didn't fit, I obviously didn't eat as much Christmas Pud as you!

I hope you enjoyed the day and had a good test, you were looking good out there but I bet that traffic played havoc. I personally had a great time, couldn't believe the weather. Enjoyed the pre track time on Friday night, please say hi and thanks to your wife.
