Circuit Racing Update- Brands Hatch |

BRANDS HATCH – FURTHER ADVENTURES OF THE ROUNDY-ROUNDYS STU MACMASTER
Brands Hatch, Kent, was the location for the next 2 rounds of our Classic Touring Cars Classic Thunder Championship. I set off mid-afternoon
Friday for the long 250 mile drive. 5 hours and a few traffic queues later we arrived to a glorious summer's evening which warranted shorts and tshirts
right up until bedtime at midnight!
Saturday once again brought fantastic weather; clear skies, hot sun, and temps in the high 20's - this was not going to be comfortable in the car!
Qualifying was at midday. I went out and tried to get on the pace pretty early to try and get a few laps in before the faster cars came back round trying to set a pole position time. The session was going pretty well and I was getting some decent times; getting more and more confident turning in to Paddock Hill Bend, until I turned in and not a lot happened - understeer, oversteer, understeer, oversteer…. "S**T!* There had been a trail of oil left on the entry of the corner, which wasn’t flagged until pretty much all the field had been through and had a "moment".
With Qualifying over, it turned out that Andy Davies had had more bad luck with his Focus, and he had only managed a few laps before pulling the car off the track with an issue which appeared terminal and would see him out of the 2 races on Sunday.
Neil Philpotts had made the most of the session for "Team Wallasey" and put the Starion 3rd on the grid, with less than 0.4 secs covering the first 4 cars! Allan Davies put his M3 5th, with Dave Hill in 12th, me in 14th and Steve Turner 16th. |
