I've been trying to find a timetable for this to no avail. Mostly interested in Sunday as unable to go Saturday. Cheers.

I think the Sunday will feature races for Tin Tops/Ford Puma Cup (which will be split into two grids due to the number of entries); two grids of Magnificent 7s, Modern Classics, two Production Porsche races and one Jaguar race.

Well the Grantura is back together with fresh motor and all ready to go. First time I've driven it since Spa Summer Classic last year so really looking forward to the Classic K race and hope I've bolted it in properly! Decent grid again and weather looks good - it's been a lovely evening 'down the Hatch.'

Brands was scorching yesterday and a 31 car grid in the Modern Classics race was very nearly capacity for the Indy circuit. The car was unchanged from Snetterton - not sure I even took it off the trailer! Practice was OK as I re-learnt the circuit having not been to Brands for about 3 years but my co-driver, Alan, was soon steaming! A split hose to the heater was eventually diagnosed and changed (yes, the heater is still fitted). We qualified 27th and third in class. OK I suppose. The race start was fantastic, one of my best ever as I got past 4 cars off the line. I then had a great battle for my half of the race with a Jag XJ40, a BMW 320, an Alfa GTV (FWD), a Toyota MR2 and a Porsche 944. Great fun. The car really handled well and I thoroughly enjoyed the race. The pit stop was not too bad for a change but Alan got held up by a safety car for a couple of laps. We eventually finished 21st from 25 finishers. Not too bad to gain 6 places from the grid position - most importantly we both really enjoyed it. My best race lap was nearly a second faster than practice after I started braking a bit earlier for the right hander at Clearways and therefore getting better turn in and a better line through the corner. I'm still 2 secs a lap slower than the fastest BRSCC 924 guys there last year but I'm happy enough seeing as this was only my 2nd race this year and only my 5th in the last 3 years with no testing either. My fastest race time was also quicker than a 944 2.5, a 944 S2, a 924 n/a and a 911 2.4 from the sister Future Classics race run in the same conditions on the same day, so all in all a good day.

Just wondering if anyone fancied looking at more photos from the weekend. Obviously not up to Mr Stallard's standard, but hope you like them anyway!
https://www.flickr.com/photos/99229870@N04/sets Thanks for looking! |

You're too kind, thank you David! It was the first time your side of the fence at Brands for my partner and I. We rubbed shoulders with you quite a few times! Keep up the good work!
BTW Please call me Laura rather than Sir! |

Thanks Gary, thanks Richard! Glad you like the photos!
No need to be embarrassed David, you're not the first to assume I'm a man! Yes, the person you described was me. I especially like the young bit! Thanks very much for your kind words, much appreciated. |
