Graham Hill always seems to be quite slippy. Has to be said I think going the 'wrong' way around the circuit is more fun - Clearways is definitely better backwards and the run from Druids up to Paddock is good fun too (you really feel the compression when you get to the bottom of the dip and start to climb back up).

Yep - those Millington engined beasts are very quick. We've got reasonable power in our car (or at least will have when the engine is back together!) but we can't live with them - we're giving away 60-70bhp to a lot of the 2 litre cars so god only knows how much the 2.5's have on us! Add in the monster brakes and super fandango suspension those boys have and we're in big trouble. The last time we did Brands we finished in the top ten - realistically I don't think that's achievable this time given the strength of that entry list.
If it's dry I'd expect one of the Darrians or big banger Escorts to win, if it's wet the WRC's might take it but it'll be close.
