Metcheck suggests sunny and clear but cold.

I hope those that followed on the twitter account managed to keep up to date with what was going on.
It's been a long but enjoyable day. A big thanks to everybody involved for their hard work and making it happen. Results: http://brandshatchstages.co.uk/sites...11_Results.pdf |

Was my first ever attendance at a rally and I must say it was brilliant. Very well organised, spectator friendly and some great on track action.
Well done to all those involved, I know i will certainly be going to more rallies in the future! Liam |

Good to hear!
As with anything, there's always scope for improvement, but hope people enjoyed it.

I spent a few hours up there to day and can only echo "brands hatch" feelings about the event; very enjoyable!

Was a good event, I hope it is welcomed back in 2012.
Shame you got caught out by the curfew (albeit only be a couple of minutes!!) Rally school stage was interesting, especially the flying finish in the afternoon. Quote:

It was a bit chilly, but still had a great day! I was amongst the Scoobs on South Bank, so many thanks to the marshalls for guiding us round there and pointing out all the pot holes (and rally cars!) en route!
Just a pity we didn't know about closed off section as the cars joined the track. We walked up there to cross between stages and get a cup of tea, only to be told it was closed all day, so we had to go round the long way! - I know for next time though!

We had a cracking day
the stages were good fun (and that rally school bit was really slippy all day!). The car was really on song and we just about got away with the gearing on the long drags along the start/finish straight. It feels a bit weird blasting the wrong way down the pit lane  Also it's good to get the chance to go around paddock at speed - I've watched other people doing it for years so it was nice to be able to experience that.We'll be back for another go nest year if it's on A big thank you to the marshals too - you must have been bloody freezing! |

Nice photos Jon
I'll have a proper look later. I did keep an eye out for you but didn't spot you anywhere - I'd have put an extra "caution - snappy Jon" in the notes if I knew where you were

Great set of photos Jon.
I was planning to take to some photos myself; it was only as I parked up that I realised I'd left my SLR behind - arrrgghhh!

...still, it was quite nice to just amble round and enjoy the action; I lost count of the number of times I kept thinking "that would make a good picture" before realising that I didn't have a camera with me though!

That "rally stage" was really slippy all day, I don't know what they've done with the tarmac there but there was no grip whatsoever. The Subaru that started the first couple of stages directly in front of us managed to spin on the 2nd corner on both stages 1 and 2!

I think it always is! It was when I drove it on my BARs, but the pouring rain didn't help either.... Love the first few corners of it when run in the "normal" manner. Sorry didn't see you, but was in the commentary box and busy all day!
