We have been liasing all the time with Nigel who is the organiser and this has been agreed from the outset, so the plan is to meet approx 9-9.30 in Convoy Meeting area. Lisa will call him when we have all arrived to ensure that we all get parked up together.

Qualifying video Fastest I have been around Brands @ 52.8 just 1.6 off pole against crazy machinery, these guys bill themselfs as the fastest Saloons in the UK!

As you will have seen from times its a very competative close grid and and whilst I will always want to go quicker I was pleased and supprised to see 1.602 off pole with a 52.899614 Track had changed by the race and was very very dirty which was why I was cautious 1st corner and I simply didn't find...

I wanted to bring the family to watch tomorrow (the grandstands are open and free apparently) but it's advance tickets only and the deadline was Friday
Best of luck for tomorrow Clive!

Thank you, I will be at Brands at least one more time this year.

Here's a video of the race view from 15 mins to the video.

On count back with the two that took each other out they gave me 8th
I have a couple of ideas to try and get more speed tomorrow "if they work!"

All set up for tomorrow, the lull before the (Thunder) Storm. Please note anyone following on https://www.tsl-timing.com/ my race number is 521 for this event. For anyone going there are a lot of amazing cars that are going to be racing, so I'm also looking forward to spectating this time as well. F...

Best of luck Clive :thumleft: Chances are you are going to be a bit more agile than the competition and I can see you doing quite well. Getting past is the difficult bit, but an RX8 can be particularly wide once in front. :lol: :lol: Not sure I'm agile but the car might be :mrgreen: O' yes I know h...

Strewth Clive, you will need ear plugs with all those V8s around you. The video is going to be epic and your car will have a high profile in amongst that lot.

Allways been up for a bit of Rotary promotion to dispel the doubters

Well never been afraid to bite off more than I can chew! All set for Brands at the weekend and play with a 33 car Thunder Saloon grid. My little 1300cc Mazda has been put in the fastest Class A section along with a 7.0 Monaro, 5.0 Ford Falcon and a big bore 2.8 Skyline😱 , so yes really bitten off mo...

I think this tells you the quality of the kit Without Turbo and Wastegate (-$235.00)

$255----------------- real parts are going to cost around £1400 just for the Turbo and Wastegate!
Whats that saying, you get what you pay for

Different view from my frustrating first race where I was down on power. You can see later in the race why I am pleased with my this years brake set up, off the end of Bentley straight,

Good result, it’s always nice when something is found and corrected. It wasn't me I was in Dover hiding in the castle ;) Best thing is I have realised I was down on power at the Brands test session the previous week and I was still quicker than I have been around there before. I got it into the 53'...

Here we go, the car on the Dyno. Turns out I was way out on power plus all fluffy at the top and even the new plugs were losing me 20bhp. Change of type of plug sorted that. Back to the same power but Pip found me more mid range and its coming in proper on lower boost now. So, an excellent Dyno sess...

Please note that this event is now on SATURDAY 15th August and not Sunday as per the title EDIT (Fixed the title ChrisHolmes)

We have a thread started on Mazda Rotary Club if anyone wishes to attend the event, all details are in the link, you need to buy your own tickets direct and we will arrange to meet up at a meeting point in order to try and get to parked up together observing the 2 metre rule :D http://mazdarotaryclu...

I am racing at Brands on the Saturday so will still be there on the Sunday

Just found out that at Brands Hatch 1st/2nd of August spectators will be allowed

These things will keep me on my toes

Just signed up for Thunder Saloon's to have a run @ Brands Hatch Aug 1st / 2nd

Evening Dave, hope your still OK. Probably angle, because as well you know, the angle you turn in at is relevant to where your exit point ends up being. On most corners, Turn in to early and you won't maximize your exit and probably wont use as much road and be slow, turn in late and you may end up ...

Enjoyed the video. You made it look easy.
Great start to your season.

Thankyou, biggest issue with it that wet and slippery is to keep off the kerbs as they will just chuck you off the road in these conditions.

I'm now miffed about not realising the car should have been quicker down the straights in qualifying because had I changed the plugs and had the power I then had in the second race I would have at least got the two if not three in front of me in the first race, Shame I didn't get the rear camera to ...

Snetterton Race Report 4th July Although we had a field of 32 cars, I was very disappointed to find I had only qualified 8th on the grid.🙁 1st race was a bit messy at the start and caution was needed and just as well because just a couple of laps in, the Team Hard Golf decided to come just about to ...

Many thanks to all above, appreciated

TSL Timeing Van is parked at the hotel so hopefully there will be commentary as well as timing and results.

Cars all tucked up in bed waiting for the off tomorrow

p.s. Pete and anyone else, there's a big sign up saying no Public

I know a few of you wanted to go to Castle Combe to see the car, but sadly although our promotor had a written contract they have told him we cant race and another series has taken our slot. Quite rightly he is fuming as his race club has supported and paid money to Combe for many years. I have Sne...
