Bernie's Historic V8's Brands Hatch 4th/5th June
Yep thats correct 5th June is a Tuesday but its also a Bank Holiday this year curtesy of HM's Jubilee. There will be a 20 minute sprint race on the Monday and a 40 minute 1 or 2 driver race on the Tuesday with compulsory pitstop. We are expecting a good turn out and I will update this thread with runners and riders as they come in.
The event is being hosted by The Aston Martin Owner's Club (AMOC) and looks like being a good event. See you there!

My entry is in for Brands. Looking forward to it. MGV8 is usually fun on the Indy circuit, but never driven with the Camaros, Mustangs and Astons there. You can get three MGs across round some of the corners, but won't trying that one! Well presumably not more than once!!!

Just need to re pack my exhaust silencer and put the new windscreen in. Exhaust repacking always the worst job! What ever I get to pack in never stays in long. Always a build up to get the back exhaust box off, start off with a rubber mallet, build up to a lump hammer, get annoyed and end it with a sledge hammer!
Looks a good AMOC Meeting, plenty on to watch.

I haven't seen anything suggesting that this one will be televised, so perhaps they've canned it for this year.
Last year's races closely arranged for TV (Motors, I think it was) probably weren't ideal for Live TV on a minor channel on a summer Sunday afternoon. You're unlikely to get the volume of viewers necessary to attract worthwhile advertising revenue, unless there's some very specific marketing to tie it in with a specialist brand.

I know I did watch some of them with less than 10 cars on the grid, not a good spectacle.

I am still intrigued about Bernie's orginal info about the possibility of "a Le Mans type start, but a little different". No doubt he will let us have a few more details soon.
