Hey man, yeah thanks for the extra heads up on Brands I'll bear that in mind.
Slippery, lol, I'll tell you about slippery, one year at the Ring on a miserable (but dry) day in April, after a VLN race, they opened the circuit for tourists, being extra keen as we had some people with us who'd never been before we did a few calm siting laps for a laugh.
I was coming into the downhill right as you enter Brunchen section, drifted out wide, ever so slightly not to take too much of a an aggressive line in and just lost the back of my S2000 completely on what I can only assume we're the marbles from the race.
The car was gone, literally looking across my passengers chest out of the passenger window. Opposite lock and a touch of power did sweet FA, so I just went two feet in and braced. That feeling of a light car and the ABS crunching away is a great one isn't it.
Managed to slide the car (unintentionally) all the way round the bend with the nose kissing the apex of the curb (splitting the splitter) then coming to a rest back on the straight leading up to the famous Brunchen car grave yard.
As you can image it was greeted with great rapture from the crowds that gather there .
Now, that was slippery !!
Getting back on the horse the next day was tough .
Er, Brands is on the 3rd July I think, evening open pit event, I've got some tuition booked too which will be cool.
Yeah man come down for sure and say hi if you can, will be cool to meet you .
