TVRCC Trackday at Brands today
Discussion
Great day today. Thank you to the staff at TVRCC for organising it. Really looking forward to the next two.
Some came unstuck and I trust they can sort their issues without too much fuss and frustration.
Despite being my nearest circuit, I couldn't get there until just after 10
I made the most of paying the ULEZ and took my eldest out in the car for a couple of hours. I took her back to Brands as there was an evening trackday so she could see 'what Baba was doing'. She wants to return for the American Fest on the 7th & 8th of June.
Other than low fuel running issues, the car ran great. Should have put the TD tyres on but that's a first world problem.
Didn't take any photos but hopefully those that did will share them here.
Ceramic coated manifolds and Clive F sport CATs plus the original Personal wheel to replace the horrible (to me) Trek R before the next one!

Great photos! By any chance did you take any of my son's red Fiesta? It was his first track day...he's a future TVR owner in the making Just wanted to take a moment and thank a few folks for Brands Hatch...
First, a big thank you to Jane, Corinne, and Peter at the TVRCC for making the day happen and for all the organisation...thanks for organising the weather too
Second, a big thank you to Matt Smith who helped me get my car back on track after I managed to collect more than a few stones from a trip into the gravel!
Third, apols to those in the Advanced Group for my "off" into the gravel in Session 1, turn 1, lap 2!!! Cold brakes, tyres, and brain.
Great seeing so many TVRs out there and everyone enjoying themselves in the sunshine! There hasn't been too much of that lately!
Have a great weekend all when it arrives!

Sorry he does make an appearance in the background in a couple of shots though; it was bad enough trying to photograph the TVR's with that lovely Silver Ginetta going round.

We're both admiring your pics - great views of the cars in action from different points on the circuit. We were wondering whether we could get pics 9277 and 8397 from you (happy to pay) so we can get them printed? Happy to DM you my email. GreenV8S said:

some good pictures, btw I love those Ginetta? G12? looks low and wide :-)
Looks like a G4. Fantastic cars, great to see them on track.ETA: No, I think you were right, it's a G12.

maybe a Ginetta specialist? Danderaz? comes along and tell us what it is precisely.

that track looks massively wide
That’s depends on how fast your driving
TVR are small cars though.
And that Ginetta is also tiny. Are those winglets a racers adaption and attempt at some front end grip or indeed a Ginetta inspired idea. Feels very advanced considering how classic it looks.
Lovely car and really good to see so many Tvr out there.
Much respect and admiration for all involved.
