As he's said there will be quite a few spectators who have got passenger laps armbands & are part of our group going to Brands. Many of them would like to go in different cars & it will also give different drivers time to do laps on their own also.
Also as we'r all going as a club it'd be nice to have a quick chat or hello to one another, so look out for MSOC & Budgie & Maggy who know just about everyone anyway!
We'r going to be sharing garages & hopefully will all be next to each other in a group. It'd be nice if we could try & lend a hand to anyone who is by themselves or struggling in the garage with something or the other!!! Anyway enough of the gay sh&t............dont forget the most important thing....put your foot down & let that turbo spool.....
..... ps a pologies for the "Fast & Furious" comment at the end
It was done especially for MadisonMonkey, I know how he likes that lingo & all that

Some advice (" I say as the time gets closer & I get more nervous!!) 
Please be careful at Paddock Hill Bend, which is the downhill right hander just after the end of the start finish straight. Its fast; drops away at severe camber which can unsettle rear end; there is the exit to the pits just before entering this corner. Most importantly there is the huge gravel trap all down the left hand side which can be good to stop your car if going in straight but can quite easily roll you if going into gravel slightly sideways. On the right hand side is grass & armco too so please be smooth to try & avoid any accidental fishtailing here!
Brands is not as open & forgiving as Silverstone & Bedford, it has armcos/barriers at close proximity to the track in many places & more importantly it has grass even closer. One tyre on the grass at the wrong moment could make that armco come closer a lot quicker.
This coupled with a cold/damp track with cold tyres will mean we'l have to be extra careful.

The exit of Druids is where most people come off.
Easy to run wide and put the passenger side wheels on the grass, which normally spins you accross the track and into the wall on the other side.

Kelly and I and jackie budgie saw an evo roll at that bend after backing off the power cos a scooby was fish tailing he went in the gravel side ways and that was it a rolled 4/5 times not good.....
This is my first time out at brands and in my scooby so i'll be taking it nice and easy as i want to get the car and my lovely wife home in one piece.....
but hope everyone has a great day...
