Had a quick 20mins at brands as a birthday present.
Got black flagged for over taking on right (thought i was still at castle coomb lol)
And also over taking on sighting laps..... confusion as they said they were doing two and ended up doing 3!
Anyway enjoy the film, was trying to be courtious to others, but got happy as i finally got my brakes working!!!!! Some will know how much trouble ive had with them and the pedal box.

Thanks mate, shame I didnt get a video of castle coomb as my driving was better at coomb and I really enjoy the circuit and the greasy conditions lol, totally changed my braking point now that they actually work lol so sometimes was braking way too early at brands. Can't wait for next track day now. Will try and get to mallory for ppc

Yeh im not gonna be at that one though, probs gonna be sitting this month out track day wise to get my different coilovers and top mounts fitted, would love to go but cant get the time off work either, plus its champions league final that day... fate has decided im not going 
would love a crack at Brands though, first corner looks epic fun

I've got nurburg the weekend before, so depending on funds etc wen I get bk will determin if I go or not lol
Sounds like all is against you going! Haha
Yeah brands is a good, first corner is great, and the S bend can be taken with a lift off turn in and power through effect when there's no traffic in front. Its also my local which makes it easy....  one of those tracks where you can spend a day and go quickier and quicker and really get to near master every corner.... (As there are few on the indy curcuit)

These sessions look so frustrating I think they'd be good to give the car a little shakedown but that's about it
Naughty undertake ;-)
Car sounds epic!!

Yeah he said, "take off your racing helmet and put your track day helmet on" in my mind I thought knob, but as it was only 20mins I just wanted to get back out on track so agreeing with everything he said was the quickest way lol

Haha yeah I've had it a very long time now..... Been through a few changes since then yeah some people are not willing to let you pass (especially in a corsa lol) I find msv marshalls are quite strict... Suppose that's a good thing in a way
