Brands Hatch, Sat 17th December

Hi All,

Just booked on this one, anyone else going?

[loggyboy]

Yeah me... but you knew that!

[Potatoes]

I'll be there in my Black Clio 182. Looking forward to it

[paulyv]

Myself and my friend will be there in our Puma, fresh from Ebay for the princely sum of £100.

We are likely to be the most inexperienced there so prepare for an occasional snoop and any number of questions from us!

Looking forward to seeing you all.

Pauly

Nice! I'll pop over and say hello

[loggyboy]

Managed 11 laps so far . Fog is stopping play for long periods.

[4.7]

Both Oulton Park and Snetterton called off completely today due to fog. Bad day :-(

[Potatoes]

I managed 8-9 laps all day. Had really bad luck with red flags so never did a stint of more that 3 laps. Fun day though, met some cool people and my brother and 3 year old son joined us for the last few hours.

Yep heavy Fog :-)

Grabbed a few photos, pretty awful light levels combined with me hanging over a chain link fence means they are a bit rubbish.

How funny, the first two pictures are of loggyboy, you managed to capture him on some of his 11 morning laps

ETA Ah, it's just dawned on me that you're his brother... hello mate

We had a great day getting the Ford around the track. Hope we did not hold you up too much but by the end of the day we were holding our own a little better in the corners.

Some lovely cars there and not once did we feel anyone around us was acting unreasonably, so thanks for your consideration.

See you next time and Merry Christmas.

Glad you enjoyed it paulyv! The puma was up to the job around Brands.

Loved your video loggyboy.

Uploaded video from my 2nd session of the day.

I was somewhat disappointed with the day, seemed over subscribed, which the weather then made worse as everyone was trying to get as much track time as possible..
Looking through my laps I only got a few that were clear enough for me to be going at the pace I wanted too, the rest I was letting faster stuff through or sitting behind slower stuff in traffic.

Agreed mate, seriously oversubscribed... the crowd in the briefing room was laughable!

Enjoyed meetimg you guys though as did my little lad!
