Foulston's renamed?
On the map used in the Oulton programme Foulston's is now labelled "Britten's" (with the inverted commas).
I don't recollect any announcement of a name change, nor have I any notion who the 'Britten' it's named after might be. Anybody know anything about this? ![]() |

A google search revealed the following;
"Jonathan Palmer and two partners John Britten[U] and Peter Ogden have bought Brands Hatch, Cadwell Park, Oulton Park and Snetterton - Jan 5th 2004." I suspect that at other MSV circuitsthere will soon be an Ogden Corner and Palmers??? R's Jim Lamb |

Does that mean Fosters will now go, as it was named after Rex Foster - the original manager 50 years ago.
Also, as the Old Hall vanished before the circuit opened ................... and it's hundreds of years since any Druids have been about ............. and I haven't a clue who Denton was - or for that matter which bit of the circuit some people refer to as Dentons. |

The Foulston Centre at Brands Hatch was renamed the MSV Centre last year. I guess you have to expect new owners to change a few things every now and then.

John Britten was a very quick modsports driver back in the mid-late 60s, embarassing many an E-type, big Healey etc with his MG Midget. Jonathan Palmer too started in Modsports with his Marcos in '76/'77.

So could MSV stand for Mod Sports Vehicles?

or even as some programmes have labeled it 'Dear Leap' - though I guess as many drivers have found, that is probably a more accurate description! |

Oh Diz, Dentons is the brow just before Cascades - just where the flagpoint is.

To be honest, I don't know - I guess it could be after Jean Denton, an ex rally driver. I think she died a few years ago.

But how many of you have the original Blaster Bates' recording of "The naming of Knicker Brook"??? - I still have the LP and a superb, if non-PC, laugh it is too.

Why not recognise a stalwart of over 50 years - since day one - organising at Oulton Park?
I suggest naming a corner Dooleys. It would also give the commentary team plenty of 'pun opportunities' |
