DTM testing, Brands, March 20/21/22

GarrettMacD · 10 Mar 2006, 15:12 (Ref:1542935)

Does anyone know the schedule for testing over the three days???

I have looked at MSV's site - just a mention that it will be free, but no further info.

Also looked at dtm.de - nothing that I could see.

I'm planning on going on the Monday, but don't want to turn up and find that all the serious boys don't start until the Tuesday... doh!

Thanks

That sort of info would help me out as well

I'm planning on going for a day (and Monday is currently favourite) so it'd be useful. I'd guess there would be action on all the days though - it'd be handy to know which drivers would be there on which days though.

Try e-mailing MSV to ask!

**BertMk2** · 10 Mar 2006, 16:03 (Ref:1542979)

Would MSV know that sort of detail? I'd have thought they'd only know that they've got the DTM there for the 4 days not who's going to be in the cars on which days. Could try emailing the teams I suppose.

There is 3 1/2 days of DTM testing starting in 10 days time. The fainal 1/2 day is on Thursday morning. As far as excate timetable is concerned I think it will 9-1 and 2-5 open sessions. That is normal for an exclusive test. But don't quote me on that.

Also there will be NO access to the pitlane as far as I am aware

EMail???

I went one better than that - I picked up that obsolete device called a 'telephone' and asked the question.

"Er, we're not sure" came the reply

I thought about ringing DTM headquarters, arber mein Deutsche ist nicht su gut...

**BertMk2** · 13 Mar 2006, 15:06 (Ref:1547189)

I guess as they haven't run at Brands before they'll be doing a fair amount of running, think I'll take a punt and book the Monday off work

RMR · 13 Mar 2006, 15:13 (Ref:1547192)

Are they running on the Indy?

MikeHoyer · 13 Mar 2006, 15:42 (Ref:1547208)

Would assume so, that's what the race is being held on.

**BertMk2** · 13 Mar 2006, 16:05 (Ref:1547222)

Yep, it'll be the Indy circuit - that's what they're racing on and the allocated number of days for the GP circuit has been accounted for already (that's why they're not racing on the GP circuit).

**BertMk2** · 15 Mar 2006, 11:56 (Ref:1549380)

Monday is booked off. Just got to hope someone does some running now

jonbryant · 15 Mar 2006, 13:19 (Ref:1549446)

Well if they don't I'll see you in the Kentagon!

**BertMk2** · 15 Mar 2006, 15:25 (Ref:1549555)

Could be crowded!

ascarmarshal · 15 Mar 2006, 15:28 (Ref:1549559)

I will be there working on track on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. Can't wait

roger dee · 16 Mar 2006, 13:28 (Ref:1550229)

I can confirm that the cars will definitely be running on Monday!

**BertMk2** · 20 Mar 2006, 20:48 (Ref:1555207)

Yep cars were running today (including 3 running straight on at Druids!). Chuffing cold but definitely worth the trip to Brands, those cars sound fantastic - the Mercedes of Jamie Green in particular sounded awesome, a real howl

Yoyr dead right about it being cold. I am still defrosting now after a day standing on Post 9. I will be attending the rest of the test days but I won't be paid for tomorrow

Gives me the chance to takes some photographs which I can' t normally do on a test

forzaf1 · 20 Mar 2006, 20:59 (Ref:1555217)

From the webcam pictures I was watching today, are we allowed to drive into the circuit and park up infront of the pits or do we still have to park outside the front gates on the grass?

jonbryant · 20 Mar 2006, 21:05 (Ref:1555222)

You can get in. They ask you to park up opposite the pits on the gravel but...

And seriously impressive cars. And watch them going into Druids cos they do like going off there including Mr Schneider who didn't have smack it hard. Bent the barrier nicely! But wrap up soooo warm.
