Total Kit Car live @ Brands

Postby adithorp » Wed Oct 08, 2014 4:29 pm

Any body else going? Sat 15th Nov

I've just spoken the Steve at Fury and I'm going to make the trip south and do some passenger laps for them. Last years event wasn't bad at Blyton and with that under their belt, this years should be a good event. Only fly in the ointment might be the date, so fingers crossed for decent weather... otherwise it'll be a long trip for not much more than cups of tea in a pit garage.

There's a bit more info available now as they had a press day at Brands last week. Fury seem to have done quite well out of it, with a car in the publicity shots and a mention in the blurb on the BrandsHatch web site....

Though there's nothing on TotalKitCar mag's website... and they're the organisers :roll:

What a good day!

Had a great evening on Friday after unloading. Good turn out on Sat and good to put faces to a few names. Unfortunately the track conditions were not conducive to showing off the cars to their best; I've never known so little grip.

I anybody would like some gravel for their fish tank, let me know and I'll dig some out from my under-tray ;)
(I'm sure someone will be along soon with more details)

Yep,

I'd agree with the above statement. There was no grip at all, Adi was behind me on the sighting laps and found it highly amusing how i was twitching.
The good thing was that it was ok as it was fairly progressive and you got a lot of warning before the back let go.

And before the driving gods tell us what we were doing wrong, there was a cobra that spun on the Brabham straight and scuffed the wall, and after getting a passenger ride in the AB performance Arion with one of the RGB boys, the car was pushed back in the garage and a rainbow of colours were seen in the water that came off the tyres.
It was greasy out there.

Still, it was a fun day and i got to see some of the things that i have been following on the net.

Also like Adi, if you require gravel for the fish tank I have some too. :D :lol:
