I'll be at the evening open pit lane event on 30 August with Easytrack - sign on from 3.30pm, limited to 35 cars.
Anyone fancy it?

It doesn't make much sense for me to go down to Brands for an evening The Caterham looks lovely though You'll have great fun chucking that round the Indy circuit

Thanks mate - I'll be mainly trying to get used to its cornering/braking ability I think!

Cheers Dan - wasn't expecting a lot of takers who didn't (like me) live close to Brands, but just posting on the off chance.

I'd love to do another full day there, sometime soon, though.
It was ages ago when we were there last, Neal. I have my 20VT and you your M3??

I'm looking to book an evening track session at Brands in August. I just need to get new alignment bolts and a full geo-setup done on my MX-5 before it's ready,
How much is it? The ones I'd been looking at were £119/129 or so.

Well my alignment bolts have come, so it's looking a good possibility.
Are you only taking the Caterham or bringing the Clio too?

Is it static 98 there? I doubt I'd make that either. I was given a polite warning at Oulton at the start of the day "right on the limit" @ 102

Have Oulton lowered their limits now as well? :(

They didn't confirm the actual limit on the day, but checking back on MSVs website ... it looks like the limit may have been 105.
Which is more worrying for me ... if I'm only just squeaking past 105 :O

Is the limit different from the 7 Club trackday of last week then Kenno? If not, you should get under in yours, right?

Which is more worrying for me ... if I'm only just squeaking past 105 That's louder than us if that's true and it was 105. If so, you've got no chance at many tracks now. That's why we're trying to sort our airbox out. Otherwise Donington, Combe etc are out. Even some of the Mallory days are now lower than 105. Going slightly back on topic, for many cars the static tests are ok but the drive-bys are the problem. Ours is both

I can't believe that I'm louder than your R1!
I've not had any problems with drive-by's at Oulton or Donington ... but it is true that drive-by's are more of a problem. A lot of it depends on which way the induction noise travels.

I guess they have to quieten down the later it gets. The roller barrels on the R300k are loud, and I have a cut out in the bonnet as well.

I had new tyres fitted Friday, although the geometry setup didn't quite go to plan.
I'd taken new alignment bolts along to replace my corroded ones, so they could do the geo properly, only they were so badly corroded they couldn't get them out even with heat. The car wasn't safe to drive at the point they'd got to, so I had to leave it there (it was 1.5 hours away by car) and spend 3 hours and £23 on public transport getting home. It brought back Coupe ownership days, you know where you turn up for a simple job and it turns out something else more major needs doing! I had to order 2 front lower suspension arms, which should be delivered straight to the garage today, with the geo finished afterwards so I can collect tonight!
I'm hoping my other camera mount comes so I can film via my iPhone as well as my HD camera.

They've confirmed it's finished, so I'm heading off to collect it now. I expect the M25 will be pants, and looks like rain so can't have the roof down Oh and they've reported the drivers electric window no longer works? It's going to get ragged tomorrow then

I work 10 minutes from Brands. We've just had a downpour but the sun is back out. Hopefully it'll dry up nicely by 5pm!
