Brands, MSVR 22/23 May GP circuit

[Piglet]

Who's around for this weekend? The timetable is http://www.msvracing.co.uk/media/144...ue%20three.pdf

It looks like a great weekend of clubby racing, DMN, TTRS, PBMW, VW's and loads more and on the GP circuit with a good weather forecast as well!

Anyone who hasn't volunteered yet would be very welcome as we could do with some more bodies contact bhmarshals@msvracing.co.uk and/or Mildred's usual email address.

I'll be there, it's the first 2-day club meeting I've ever done at Brands.

Could someone confirm exactly where the camping is for this, i.e. where is the grey car park?

[TwoSheds]

I'm guessing it's this camp site, as seen on Bodysnatcher's Google map of Brands Hatch. http://maps.google.co.uk/maps/ms?ie=...6295f4f77345,,

[marcosmantula]

Excellent. Thanks for that

I've not had any instructions or tickets yet. Does anybody know whether we should use the grey car park or the main campsite?

Thanks.

[Nighthawk]

I Think Mildred posted a E-Mail to most people saying no insructions will be sent for this ono

....

[Bodysnatcher]

the letter from David Scott is a jpg attachment (so cannot C&P) to Mildred's email of the 10th
important points as follows

no special sticker - access with MSVR hard card
parking in the upper paddock
camping in Grey car park, toilets adjacent to kentagon to remain open

sign on Sat 7-8
sign on Sun 8-9
breakfast provided, but be prepared to use the kentagon so that the workload can be spread across the 2 sites
jag single seater session for a lucky winner

a good guess ..

1/2 the reason for the maps being created was that the likes of "Grey Car Park" means nothing in a letter, especially to a newbie. Only those that have used Grey know where it is. MSVR certainly have never provided a map or anything that tells the customers/volunteers which car park is which.

.. Guinness is this it?

Yep, that's the one... should update the text on the map to say grey carpark as well...

[Eddy V]

Can't be there as I've caught some bugs a while ago and don't seem to be able to get rid of them. Great shame, I was really looking forward to this.

Anyhow, have lots of fun and enjoy yourselfs.

As mini already said, that's the one.

Thanks for the info above, although should probably clarify for the uninformed that usually it's only the disabled toilet which is open, and can/should be used by us. I only found that out myself when someone with the same 'inside info' told me.

[Bodysnatcher]

thanks both,map changed

Hmm I think I've seen an aerial photograph somewhere that has grey/yellow car parks etc. marked on it? I may of course have imagined it....I'll make some enquiries though and see what I can turn up...

Actually, thinking about it, is it the picture that's usually in the programme? I don't have a programme with me to check - I know it doesn't help newbies but we could at least link to it in situations like this.

[White flag man]

I'll be there both days. Hope I can stay awake on Sunday!

A 3 hour SPEED race on the Gp circuit! Think you may struggle.

And it's going to be a hot one, apparently. Speedos, flip flops and lots of Red Bull!

How many cars are entered for the SPEED race?

[deley]

SPEED website has about 20 according to the garage allocations

[Dan Friel]

There was a huge grid of 10 at the first round. A grid of 15 at Brands might be optimistic.

[deley]

I spy with my little eye ..... oh sod it I'll take a book to read

[flying muppet]

Well just to liven things up on Sunday for you, there are no less than 37 Golf GTIs out to play, and a very promising grid of 30 VWs and Seats for the first round of the VAG Trophy!

I'll be out in both races (#62), so please give me a wave...
