Default Brands Hatch this Sat

Guys,

Doing my first trackday on Saturday, anyone know if there are Shell garages etc in the vicinity. I'm hoping to be getting through some large quantities of fuel.

Chrs, Malc

The closest is 5 miles away and it's address is

Hawley Road
Dartford

Chrs dude, kinda shatting myself but sooo looking forward to it, must have a look into insurance, as I'm not one for holding back and I'd rather bin it than feel I didn't give it the beans.

Hey Baz,

About time you got my mug on the Essex crew photo board

yip free to watch
taking my 03 sti(ppp) to see what it should be doing

have hired a personal instructor for the day to get the most from the track time, so hence my threads last week about where to get new boots, as I will be taking no prisoners if things go as planned.

all i've got to do is stay sober for the day !!!

As long as your tyres are good on the nearside you'll be okay


If you drift too much, you will be shown the 'tyres' sign

cool !, if they've got someone there like they used to on the bike trackdays I might well get re booted at lunch if I rip up what's left of the Potenzas in the morning.

We'll see how this one goes first Baz then maybe I'll be prepared and take tyres next time out.

I'm going to be there from about 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. I think. Normally pit access is fine I think for these trackdays.
