Just getting ready for this.

I will be in the Zen pit garage helping data-logging and analysis as they are down on crew members that day.

Shame that a few of our guys/girls (inc me) arent competing at this

Good Luck to all at Brands. Hope the weather stays fine for you.

Bit quiet on here for this round. Not the usual fanfare :?

yeah it is a bit quiet about it all round.

Should be a great round though.

Just made a new rear back box last night, should flow a bit better than the strangled version at Oulton, but still be as quiet. You will laugh when you see it

Off down to Zen tomorrow, for a session on the dyno around 2pm, then its the trip down to Brands for Saturday night.

Cant wait, as i wasnt originally going, but its such a cracking little circuit, which appears easy, but isnt. Need to pack me balls for Paddock Hill bend, as that's where i was losing time last year!

I reckon a 50/51 will take it in club, and a 47 in Pro!

Duncan, dont forget your race suit

and dont forget to sign on as per regs

Do we need race suits for passengering?

I thought there was a debate and it was normal track day attire on the TA forum?

Not sure now Duncan, having said that, little Phil came out with me at Donington in normal attire.

How come your not competing Duncan, is your car still not 100%?

Anyway, have fun with Zen and good luck to everyone competing, should be an interesting weekend with the weather that way it is!

Probably best explained as on the project thread..

I made the decision early to enable me to definitely sell my slot on the basis of funds for repair = funds for the event. Unfortunately times are tighter than I would like and it had to be done to enable a trip over to germany with the family as our only holiday this year. It is a big sacrifice from Rachel & Annabelle in giving up a beach holiday.

We are gutted about not being able to make this round due to the engine being toast as we had made a step forward with the car something that we had been planning for a while. We had been hoping to improve our lap times by a couple of seconds at least but now we will never know

Alan was so looking forward to attacking Paddock Hill bend.

Good luck to all and have a great day
