3 times? thats a new record!.

Truth is though, we sont see such VFM till this time next year since the going rate for a Brands track summer evening next year is £110 for only 3 hours or so.
Dont get too confortable with Graham Hill, its due to be re profiled into a much slower bend during next year.

Just a quick one regarding a summer evening, there is aprox 30% less cars running on the track on a evening session and to be honest the £110 it is now is great VFM as closer to the event it will be almost £160
A day in the summer st Brands costs about £225 for a good day ( not over full etc ) and a day on the Gp would set you back almost £500.00

There are plenty of interesting tracks apart from brands, Oulton Park and The new Snetterton 300 is a superb track ! 3 miles long and that is very good VFM.

a vid from pistonheads. taken from a old 911 (I think), Stephens car features at around 2 mins but obviously not driven by him as it overtakes!

Yes it was the white 911 with the duck tail.

How can you tell that's not me driving :wink:

Also what's with the Porsche driver's hand gesture at 1:47, maybe the guy can't believe the little Renault is overtaking him again...

Seriously with Mr Wild at the wheel we literally overtook everything like it was standing still except the Jades and he even gave them a good run for their money.

And he had never driven a Spider before :shock:

Track etiquette ....He was annoyed that he was overtaken whilst waiting for the car he was overtaking to give him space/permission to do so ........The bloke in the Spider seems to need educating ...whoever he was ..... :roll:

Graham Hill bend was re-profiled in the late 80s (IIRC).
This one is soft compared to the old one!
