Brands Hatch - taster session - 9th April - Page 12

The email went out just to those that were on the 5.40 session. After the sighter laps, there was an off and everyone was red flagged and we had to go in. Then after a while we came in anyway, but I think there was another Red flag later in the session.

The email is basically saying that if you're there for the day, you get another go, but as the tasters are on 20 mins, we missed out a fair chunk. I think they are really trying to get more business. They mentioned the reward system of discounts at the driver briefing and now an email inviting us back.

Fairly decent of them.

We did the same Gordon, went to park up behind the pits and a marshal turned us round and the signing on was at the restaurant, Kings.... something, just before you go into the fenced off area.

Thought it was all very shambolic and not as well organised as last time where we had the signing on in the pit area.

Only because we had been round before did we know what to do, first timers didnt get any help.

Think I would have done the same as you, shame but maybe we can use the freebie to arrange another meet up and in the warm and dry, this time!!!!

Thats what I was thinking, the freebie would make up for the no go...Try bit later in the year, we may get some sun...........................then Dan would be blinded by our yellowness.

Go on Pete, be a shame not to. It was only that sketchy last time because of the very poor weather. I'd be doing it again if I could do another and if I was upto it. Be a good time out again. Keep getting offers come through for last minute booking for the full day Saturday whih keeps tempting me.

peterzs · 12-06-13, 08:35 PM

not if we go out with the fast guys like they had out last time!!

Novices I can cope with, but no fun when you get pushed along.

Just dont want to thrash the derv, like I know I would.

Too competetive mate ... just let them past ...

I had the track to myself for most of my last session as I was right at the back. Only place to be mate.

I understand though ....

Must be getting old, Dan!!!!
