Been dying to track my 172 for ages!!! But I'm going to wait til the spring as I don't fancy doing it in the freezing cold slippery conditions.

Very keen on a novice track day, getting some work done on the car at the moment so 14th is a bit early for me, could well be up for one in the new year though. Brands is just down the road for me too.

You just don't expect it to last that long and work your suspension that much...makes you grin when you get it right though

Don't have to be going quick to get into a bit of a spin at Paddock Hill bend as I proved earlier this year

YouTube - Brands Hatch Track Day May 13th 2008

50s in, I ever so slightly lifted off to let another car past

Good fun track though and very friendly to filming so long as you sign the waiver.

The exit of Druids is the one that catches most people out.

I think the back end went, and ended up in the wall.

Ref track insurance - we can cover, but only if we already insure the car. (£60 per day)

If you are insured elsewhere and they can't cover you i'd look at www.moris.co.uk

Better laps of Brands

YouTube - Time Attack - Brands 2008 Superbattle part 2

Look at the qualifying or warm up of my vids to see what can go wrong at Druids, Paddock and Graham Hill!
