I was thinking of doing an evening at brands next month. The only ones I can see are on opentrack or MSV which is a novice evening.
The opentrack one looks like there would be more time on track available with the msv one being split into 15 min sessions.

Anyone used opentrack before? Also anyone else fancy doing brands in june?

Re: Brands hatch june evening, anyone interested?
I did end up going to the opentrack event, it was brilliant. Brands is great fun!
It was flipping hot though, although being an evening session it got cooler as the day went on.
Very impressed with the opentrack guys!
I'll get some pictures once they post em up!

Re: Brands hatch june evening, anyone interested?
I did take a pic with my phone!
I think I might need an oilcooler after I swapped my dying ct20 for an only oil cooled TD05. It seemed allot slower for oiltemps to drop, although it doesnt help how hot it was and a cooldown lap is so short it didnt do much.

Re: Brands hatch june evening, anyone interested?
i like the idea of these evening sessions, I have too much mechanical sympathy for a full day.
When my car is setup im going to sign up, Brands is not too far for me.

Re: Brands hatch june evening, anyone interested?
I'd love to go back again and its great not having to drive for hours on end to get to a track.
I think pistol pete also wanted to do an evening at somepoint!
Edit: Is that your car in your garage profile? Just wondering because I shared a pit with a guy in a T350C

Re: Brands hatch june evening, anyone interested?
Its a td05-16g and yeah standard internals. Its a bit bigger than a ct20 but not much, 12psi feels about what 16psi would be on a ct20.
Full boost is made at about 3200rpm too, so it's pretty decent.

Cool, how busy was the track.
I will keep an eye out and maybe see you down there.

Being the indy circuit it was busy at times, didnt have to wait long to get on though.
Put up a thread if you go, i'd be interested depending on the dates and i'm sure there will be others here who might want to come!
