Doug phillips Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Remember to bring plenty of water with you, it is going to be a hot one I have a lady passenger with me all day, it is part of her birthday present 😬 so say happy birthday to Claire when you see her in my car (I am sure that it will wind her up) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shad Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Heading off in a little bit. 2 hours in the baking sun on the motorway... great See you there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shad Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Had quite a yucky journey as expected but kept company by two other Caterhams for some of it Great evening, nice to meet some new people and so nice to finally have the car moving around a bit in the way I want it to! Only took an hour to get home too Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishy Dave Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 A very good evening, thank you for organising this. The weather couldn't have been better and despite a crowded track I felt driving standards were good with patience shown by all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil B Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Hear, hear, Thanks for arranging a great evening on the track. I wish I had booked a tuition session though, as I saw many different lines through the corners I had no idea which was the best!! One observation for possible discussion with MSV, the time gap between day and evening sessions was too short (30mins) to allow day users to clear out of paddock area. This caused some congestion and the odd bit of consternation from day session drivers when we turned up and started trying to find places to park cars, trailers and generally drop off gear to be ready to take over garages before the briefing, sighting laps and start. Similar congestion apparent when we finished and the biker community poured into the paddock. Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makingff Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Thanks for organising this Geoff and for providing the great weather! Maybe a bit too hot? - only joking! 😬 Apologies to the Grads competitor whose garage we invaded, in case he reads this. As Phil said, it was a bit chaotic trying to park, get noise tested, get ready etc. etc. but we all got there in the end. I think I may even have some video of me overtaking Shad! Ok, he was pulling into the pits at the time but... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shad Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 😬 Who was piloting L7 FST? We had a brief chat but I didn't catch your name nor what was under the hood. That and the red Westfield were about the quickest things out there as far as I could tell (the westie by some margin!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldbuffer Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Thanks for arranging a very enjoyable evening at Brands Good to see the local club members spectating. There certainly were some novel lines through the corners! It must have been pretty intimidating for the novices and Brands Hatch first timers. Would a sessioned evening (Novice, Intermediate, Experienced) have been preferable? I can’t see what could have been done to alleviate the congestion during the change from the track day to the track evening, without someone losing out on track time particularly as both were fully booked. Did think it was unnecessary though to close the track to allow the artic trucks to cross... only for them to park up on the entrance road and still be there at the end of the evening.

L7 FST Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Shad - were you in the yellow Superlight? Mine's an SLR. That near-miss opposite the pits was a bit scary, wasn't it.. Fishy Dave - sorry we didn't meet up 😶🌫️(you borrowed my yard to park your trailer a month or two ago) All - great evening and everyone very considerate. Geoff - thanks, as ever Stephen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
