Oulton Park Anyone?

[LordStorm]

With Mondello being in Ireland and out of the reach to most people, who is interested in Oulton Park?

Should be a great day and a chance for you southerners to experience Northern rain...

Rain, more like steamed and blanched.

Oulton Park will toast you until you burn, then steam you to a nice lobster pink with the rain.

 

[Vicky M]

not for us i'm sorry to say!!!

might make Thruxton or Snetterton later in the year.

Defo up for Brands again at the end of the season, and may even pay a visit for the WTCC.


What's the odds at the moment for driver and manufacturer titles this year for SEAT, both BTCC and WTCC.

Is it worth putting a bet on with say, Ladbrokes for 4 titles in 2006?????

 

[Empi5]

I suppose i might show my face.

 

[Madmile]

If the weathers good myself and Custardcupra are coming over. I even have a new hat for people to view.

 

[ZBOYD]

Every year ive been to a BTCC race at Oulton its been blazing hot. In fact it was last year, up until mid afternoon, but then we got the maddest downpour ever.

 

[Vicky M]

just in case you are interested in any Seat Sport merchandise, there was no stand at Brands Hatch

T-shirts/caps/fleeces were available at the back of the Blaupunkt tent!!

Extremely poor choice and layout, and no outside advertising/banners/flags.

We ended up in the paddock park and asked the SEAT SPORT support guys where we could get the stuff from??

Got my no14 Thommo hat, then got all three drivers to sign it

didn't they abandon the Porsche Cup race?? and it was looking a bit grim for the 3rd BTC race if i remember (you know, the one where plato was leading, then went straight on at the hairpin )

Oh yes I remember that. Boy did it rain.

I'll be there again this year for the burn, drown thing again.

 

[ZBOYD]

Yup, ended up doing a re-run of the Porker race at Mondello.

JP cocked his brake bias up, I remember him saying, and it went nose heavy into Island hairpin.

Up until that point, it was over 30 degrees, one of the hottest race days ive been too, mad that it was at my home circuit, but its always barmy at Oulton,

Always go to watch qualifying at Oulton too, as its near home.

 

[Vicky M]

only ever been to qualifying at Brands once, got into an arguement about race day, (back then it was on bank holiday monday for BTCC)
Was told race day was the sunday due to live TV coverage, but i dis-agreed due to past history.
eventually gave in, so off to Brands nice and early on the Sunday to watch, and guess what ~ Qualifying, race day was BH Monday.

So, watched the morning free practise and first qualifying session, then straight home for Brazilian Grand prix, BBq and a few beers, and back again the next day for racing

Apparently Saul and Hugos maybe camping

 

[TimD]

I'd like to go too

 

[Muzorewa]

Can't miss Oulton, go for both days and sleep at home.

 

[WeeJase]

Apparently Saul and Hugos maybe camping

now that sounds like a sesh

 

[Empi5]

im up for the camp, probably get there late saturday night though

 

[MarkE]

I'll be there again - still trying to find the best place to spectate from (it's an arse at Oulton getting anywhere near the track but still being able to more than a corner or two)

 

[Muzorewa]

I think the best place is by Cascades, you can see the cars after the first corner, then sweep round onto the long circuit up towards Island bend. You then see them coming down towards the Knicker Brook chicane as well. Probably the most you can see the cars from one spot.

Best camera point is outfield at Lodge (the last corner), get the old lodge in the background, and the sun is in the right place if you've got a crap camera.
