Having gone to watch the Festival pretty much every year since 1994 and after keep saying "next year I'll do it", I finally decided to give it a go last year. I have to say, I never found it to be the experience I was hoping it was going to be. I have now give it a go and won't be in a rush to do it again. Whilst the circuit was great, I didn't find Brands a Competitor friendly circuit in terms of it's layout and paddock plan. Akin to the changing programme that is indicitive of a BRSCC programme, it just didn't add up to an enjoyable experience. Silverstone on the other hand was something else. Masses of room in the garages meant that you could deal with any weather out on the track, so long as you had a dry base in between. The organisation is second to none with the competitor put to the fore of the organisers plans.
No, if I was to choose one after season event every year, it would be the WHT............. That said, not this year unfortunately. New baby = no time to work on car. I dare say I'll be there watching everyone else having fun though(!) |

I think possibly they've just put the link in there ready and not created/uploaded the pdf file yet. Not seen a list - wonder why they're leaving it late!?

Does the testing go through MSV, or do the BRSCC rent the track and get the money from testing?
Would be interesting to get a list of people that are not entering this year and for why. Me: stupid timetable, lack of promotion, no previous winner "decision" Anyone else? Justin, that was only going to be funny if Miller rose to it! |

MSV are running the test days, book with them directly.
Timetable is only lsightly dafter than previous years, mainly due to nothing on Friday, but if I am honest the average clubman doesn't test so he can just turn up fri night/sat morning. And if you are a serious competitor (Medina, West-tec etc) then waiting around a day is no big deal. It has clearly been altered to help out clubmen who want a two day meeting (they do make up the majority) and it is not a bad idea. |

Your quite correct there.
The only problem you will have if you turn up on Friday evening/ Saturday morning is getting somewhere in the paddock........................... |

Just had BRSCC on the phone, they are now accepting entries from Past winners.
The quote is "they have now seen sense" |

Whatever the reason for this reversal, it should be applauded, the BRSCC have at least acknowledged they had made a poor decision taken the flak and changed it! Roll on the festival.

A bit late considering the events only a week away the Brscc always seem to try to balls up a good event and then try to put things right a week before DOH

Agreed. It shouldn't have been an issue in the first place. I think the quote about only having 10 cars entered might have been closer to the mark. Too little too late. |

I've heard a lower number but maybe your information is more up to date.

I was with Ian yesterday when we heard the latest figure and it was a lot less than 30 but they did expect it to be in the mid 30's by the end of the week.
If James has to "buy" Silverstone space now, maybe he can "buy" a slot from JP to run the WHT at Brands and with his passion and magic we would have a Festival that matched the good old days. Do we need both? Could the Festival not just be the Walter Hays Festival run my a person who has the drivers at heart but still manages to put on a good event. |
