Well done to everyone who committed to purchasing their ticket early at the "Early Bird Booking Price" of £119

The allocation has now been sold, but places are still available at the (quite reasonable) standard price of £139

For those of you who haven't been to this event before, it has become a popular event, a bit of a tradition really, although not quite on the scale or prestige of Wimbledon It has been a regular event in the club calendar since 2008. Harrizone, Zarterone and Casey have attended every December Brands Hatch day since then

Link to last year's thread - LINK HERE

So, let's start the ball rolling

Track and event details for anyone new;
CIRCUIT STATS:
Length - 1.2 miles (Indy)
Corners - 5
Noise - 105db (compulsory stationary test)

PROVISIONAL TIMINGS OF THE DAY:
- Sign On 07:30 - 08:30
- Briefing: 08:30am
- OPL from 09.00
- Lunch 12.30-13.30
- OPL 13.30
- Track Closes 16.00 (Day light permitting)

Book your place via THIS LINK

Newcomers to trackdays are very welcome; please be aware that the track can be a little cold, wet and greasy at this time of the year, so can be more challenging (and fun) to drive Luckily, we've often been blessed with cool, but bight, sunny days, where most of the track dries out and warms up a bit by lunchtime. Of course, I won't mention the year the event was postponed due to 2 feet of snow

We should be able to offer a "Buddy" to anyone who requests one. This means you will be assigned an experienced trackday driver who will stay with you from the very start of the day until you are happy to unite the knot The Buddy can help you as much or as little as you want; help with checking your car, signing on, noise testing, getting to the briefing, passenger laps (you driving, and/or Buddy driving to show lines), etc. I always recommend people new to the track also book a "formal" tuition slot, 20 mins with a qualified instructor for ~£20. Great value for money if you are new to trackday driving.

If you are unfamiliar with Brands Hatch then this will help you visualise what it's like to drive;

Well done Ricky and glad you took note of my PM

[NicKD]

Early Bird Booking Price with MOT is £119 but this won't last for much longer so get yourself booked up as soon as you can

It is the first 20 places at this price, after that it goes up. We have 18 bookings so far.

[RickyG512]

damm that was close !!

[GreySilver Beast]

I knew it was something like that Nick

[NicKD]

Just to let everyone know, there is currently just one early bird place left on this event.
WIGIG.

[JBailey46]

This looks great! Especially like the sound of the buddy system for a complete newbie like me.

Unfortunately I'm in America that day. i will keep my eyes open for similar events though!!

[J2daG1990]

You can put me down as a possible seeing as how i'm 15 minutes away from here.
Providing I do a brake upgrade before December i'll come along.

[Studle]

Hi Nigel,
Are there still places available?

[RickyG512]

Yup loads I beleive, don't think there's a limit?

[casey]

Yes, there are places left, but I'm afraid al the "Early Bird" tickets have now all been sold, so the price has reverted to the normal price of £139.

I'll amend the first post in this thread ref the Early Bird pricing ow....

[RickyG512]

Woops I mistakenly thought this was the Snetterton thread lol

[GreySilver Beast]

Thought it was about time this Topic received a - Events Team

[tractorboy]

It might be a short circuit but it's so iconic, great fun and difficult to get just right. Just what you want from a trackday :-)

Bob

[Rx8-Col.]

Would I be ok to pop along for afew hours? Not looking to go out on track, just have a chat and a look around.

[casey]

^^You are most welcome, we should have a block of garages together and some coffee/tea on the go for club members (bring a mug, in case we are short of some ).

If you buy a passenger wristband for £10 and bring a helmet (or hire on for £10) then I'm sure they'll be ample opportunity for passenger rides - if you want. If not, just turn up for a chat, everyone is very welcome just to drop by, there is no entry fee either

[RickyG512]

unfortionaltey i cant attend this anymore =( =(

would anyone like to take my place at the early bird price of £119, Note, the price has risen to £139 so save yourself £20 =)
