Glad you had a good day harry brands is a great track and my local.

Ive done more laps than i care to think of but paddock hill bend is one of the best corners with the compretion at the bottom .

but if your doing the normal circuit with a lot of cars can be a bit of a traffic jam

If you get the chance and can afford to do the gp brands is one of the best circuits
you can do

all the best mike

Hello Mike,
I agree Brands is a great circuit and Paddock is probably the best bend around, allways gives me goose bumps. I had the good fortune to have a couple of TDs on the GP circuit but not as a driver (cant afford a prancing horse).

I think they want around

I feel for you there, it was pretty much the same when I did Oulton Park - A bloody long way from King's Lynn with no radio, no comfort and no passenger to talk to. I guess it's ok as long as you don't have problems, I'm going to stick to Snetterton and Cadwell for a bit as a least it isn't too far to nurse your car home when you kill the brakes.

Sounds like you had a great day though. :thumbs:

Hello Des,

Yeah I had a great time, it is a pity that BH can`t be relocated nearer home, must give Cadwell a try it looks and sounds interesting
