Brands GP LoT 4th May

[550superfast]

Who's coming? I think we have 5 cups don't we, should we try and organise some garages together?

Not sure how to tag people.....

[Bibs]

Type @ and immediately after, their username

@Arun_D, @The Pits, @M4rk

[The Pits]

Yes, shall be there. Was racing there yesterday, it was grim but still one of my favourite tracks in the UK, so hoping for better weather on Thursday!

[Arun_D]

Good idea, Gary. I think you suggested at the time, which I then promptly forgot. I think @LF1 is there too in his other half's Elise Cup.

Has anyone received final instructions yet?

[550superfast]

I will drop them an email and ask for garages - are we all in the same Lot session? Not had final instructions yet. Weather looking mixed.

Thursday you say, maybe I'll pop along and watch as it's not far away

Sure Gary, let us know how you get on. I think @The Pits is booked on with B&C but we're not sure if they're in the same sessions as the LoT bookings or not.

[Bibs]

I'll be popping along to say hello too

[550superfast]

LOT do not allocate garages - so cannot reserve. Suggest an early start and grab them (garages 22-32)

[Arun_D]

Ok good call. Let me know if you want to convoy from Sussex.

Sure, I will be coming up the M23

[LF1]

Yea, I'm there in the Elise. Unless there is another tropical storm like yesterday in which case I and not going near the place!

Guessing we'll be in different sessions depending on who we booked through? I booked woth LoT. 

[LF1]

LoT have sent out finals - looks like we have the session on the hour.

[M4rk]

It will be good to meet you all on Thursday.  

I've just seen the sign on instructions.  I'm travelling down with two friends in their Elise's and we should be on site early.  At least we will be in a cluster around the LoT allocated garages so that should work well.  

Shame about the forecast, when I checked a couple of days ago it looked much better.  Hopefully it will just be the odd shower, nothing too heavy to disrupt play.

I'm really looking forward to my first day at Brands!  Never been on a session day but sounds like it has worked well in the past so I am sure it will run well again this year.

Open pit lane is much nicer, but at Brands GP you very rarely can get that - and it is even more expensive.

Looks like it will be mostly dry, fingers crossed.

[LF1]

If you really want OPL, then BaT are there 28th June on the GP in the day and Indy in the evening. I am signed up.

The price relfects that it's OPL though.

[LF1]

What a cracking day at a seriously good track. Felt like I had it to myself most of the day:

 

[BatMobile]

Lovely driving LF1, leaves me excited at the journey ahead to be able to do that round a track. 

[The Pits]

I don't think anyone got more from his machinery than Tom today!

[LF1]

Next time we need to try and get in the same session! Cup vs Cup. Really would be interesting to do a proper track comparison of the two cars - both are completely factory standard still aren't they?

[TonyKL]

Nice to say hello to a few of you, sorry had to dash off around lunch time. 

[mcx]

Great day, sorry just spotted this thread. Good to have so many cups together. Love the GP circuit

[M4rk]

It certainly was a great day and it was good to meet you all today as well.  

The first time I drove Paddock Hill Bend I did have an intake of breath, what a drop!  It doesn't look that bad on video clips.  Awesome track!  It tends to be very flat over here in Norfolk so it was nice to experience the mixture of gradients.
