Pics vids sketches?
How was the weather? was quite nice down here today 
MY fave bit is the complex into the sharp left hander onto the main straight then you can just have it onto the brakes and hoon it into the chicane at the end

would suit a wr event as once you are out in the garages in the middle its a nice little area to kick back and have a chat etc too

Yeah and you are quite close to the track with no barriers in the way. Tea coffee etc on demand as well.
Much prefer this to Brands.

The way that you sign on as you go on through the main gates is a good idea, then drive a bit further and sound test and then part up for briefing.
I bought a picture of the car on the day as did Rob B's mate, really good pictures and I would hope so for £22
Only downside or maybe not is that the diaphragm in the standard dump valve has gone again, useless piece of shit when the car is mapped. I'll be ordering the Forge uprated one Monday morning.

Our signing on was a bit confusing as there was no one at the gate and I got lost but thats because I arrived at lunch as I was going a half day
I bought those pics too fucking steep price but I really wanted them as they were good, just a shame my car is so dirty in them

nah even if everyone is out so are well spread out. Let the faster car past and then carry on again
unlike brands where you usually end up in a huge bunch at some point.
Only thing its missing is some camber and elevation changes

I popped up for a few hours after work to watch. Good to see you again Rob, real shame about your car . Looked nice though 
Didnt get chance to meet OJC, but stayed long enough to see him do a few laps, car looked mint!
Tried out my new camera, got some good pictures even though its still got the standard lens on.

Ah that's not too bad then. I paid £29 all in for about 10 pictures from Brands, that was pricey.
