Qualifying Report - clicky

Good result, Plato is on fire carrying ballast.

They need to keep those Vauxhalls in check, and don't worry about Turkington.

Should be a good day. Enjoy everyone, i'll be glued to the TV.

Disappointing to see Onslow-Cole low down the order, the lad has some serious pace at Brands, going back to his Clio Cup domination days when I saw him at the track.

Me too but I have a typical "rain at brands" feeling at the mo

 

[ZBOYD]

It's because i've not ventured south this time.

Every other time i've been to Brands its been fine, well it snowed once, but that was right at the end of the day so didn't count.

But the rain will suit the Leon, so grin and bear it.

 

[MarkW]

Well!! Am I the first one to report back?!

Weather was amazingly shite. Do not know how it rained for so long in the middle of August. I also couldn't believe the ferocity of the RAC and Vauxhall drivers.

That italian ****** should be shot! Ah well. Fun day was had by most I think (except the guys involved in the 1st corner 1st race 1st lap pile up!)

that clio cup 'race' was a good laugh

that clio cup 'race' was a good laugh

lol, all one lap of it!

4-way-synchronized Clio drifting was impressive!

p.s, weather - shockingly bad

 

[ArosaRacer]

Did the offski after 3rd BTCC race was out of the track with in 4 mins tops then spent 4 quid and 20 mins washing half the south bank out of my arches !

 

[Toledo Widow]

Even with the rain it was a good day. Well worth the 3 hour journey home!

Loved the banged up tolly with the taped up rear.....made my day..lol

 

[Gib83]

i have to agree, a great day and worth travelling down for, even if it was 4 hours in the rain home

 

[J@mes]

I had a wicked day too despite the weather!

 

[tris]

Not the best of meeting for SEAT and Liam but I still had a really good day and was nice to meet a few new members and dont forget those of you I spoke to about the Brands track day get your names down on the thread

 

[stevoibizacupra]

awesome days racing. had a blast! hilight was turkingtons 360 spin coming down paddock hill keeping it on the track the whole time, and syncronised drifting from (i think) chilton and the white integra, truly awesome! got that one on video too.
car is goign to need some serious washing now, having to park on south bank and leaving it in reverse to stop it sliding..!

 

[s5luf]

Really good day - found the clio cup the best race

See you all soon

Apparently no 1 daughter (nearly 10) watched the first BTCC race turned to her Dad and said, "That's what I'm gonna do when I'm older. I want to race cars like that!"

Then later on in the day we sent her on the Rally drive, where on the last lap the car had a blow out....She got out the car smiling from ear to ear asking if she could go again...

Think it's safe to say that the T.W. and StuC clan all enjoyed their day yesterday...

Thanks to everyone for their part/ hard working in making it such a brilliant day!

Yeah me and my missus had a cool day and we didnt let the weather spoil it for us. Thanks to all involved in the organisation, even if i was too shy to come over and say hello. I stayed all day though right to the very end and loved it

great racing though, Clios were a joke i watched in disbelief as 2 of them took themselves out in seperate incidents on the WARM UP LAP!!!!

The Porkers sounded good, touring cars were ok (not helped by race 1 pile up) but i really enjoyed to Formula BMW's very close exciting racing.

Does anyone else think that the new Leon Cupra Cup cars sound rubbish?
