Lapin127 should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
I never used the MGB at Brands Hatch, but I did do the first Brands Hatch event in 1975 (?) in my 1511 Wessex Mini. The track was not what you saw - we did a right just after the Pits, across the grass and back onto the Cooper Straight, then off again at Surtees, back onto the Start/Finish straight, not very interesting, but that day was freezing cold and very wet, so was very slippery. In practice, I totally lost it at the first bend and somehow went sideways all the way down the muddy grass bit to hit the tarmac exactly right, foot down and 3rd fastest! I think that Bruce Bamber did very well in a Wessex Mini, sponsored by Bose, who had a very comfortable double deck hospitality bus - very nice and warm, but they didn't seem to want to give access to muddy drivers, or the very pregnant wife of the Wessex Racing accountant, in the bus!
