Anyone else @ Brands Hatch yest????

Was @ Brands yest. snow on the ground but cleared up by 10AM for the first session, the day saw about 3 bike's being trashed and a few non-threathing injuries, cold temps and less than ample sunlight proved to be a bit tricky on traction but my Metzeler Racetech's held up well.

here are some piccies:

Brands is one of the few tracks in the southern part of the UK yet most of the mid and upper lands were dry and warm... just not fair sometimes.

....just not fair sometimes? Chindian, you should know by now, it's not fair nearly always.

Praise, though, due to you for getting out on the track so early .

oldfogey, you are right, if the weather was ideal then i'd have no excuse for when I bin it..

It was great fun being out there, I enjoyed it so much more than the first time I was at Brands. I am very lucky to be able to call that my home circuit.
