Brands Hatch Evening 9th May with RX-8OC & MRC (Vid links)
Discussion
Had my first true track experience in my own RX-8 on 96h May, an open pit-lane evening at Brands.
I've previously done a Nigel Mansell's Racing School day @ BH about 10 years ago, in BMW saloons and 'Formula First' single seaters.
Since owning the RX-8 I've done 3 Prodrive days at their Warwick grounds (1 complementary, 2 others via RX8OC), and also a Thruxton day in their road-spec RX-8 fleet last year. The difference is these were all under instruction -- but *mucho* fun & educational anyhow!
BH was supposed to be a Mazda Rotary Club / RX-8 Owners Club event, but was opened to the public due to lack of numbers...
I Must say I had great fun, and learned a lot during the tuition, and from other 'veterans'...
Managed to get some in-car footage, now up on YouTube:

These were taken during two sessions, after I'd taken some tuition laps, so hopefully my lines, braking etc. are better than they were initially
