Hi Erik
Good choice and by the sounds of it good luck to come to Brands whilst the Masters in on! Brands is a superb viewing circuit particularly on the GP loop where you can get close at high speed and there is little debris fencing, it can get muddy if wet and if the wind blows Brands can be cold even in May! Would be good if we could recognise you and say Hi, maybe a distinctive cap or jacket, maybe you could advise. |

I was thinking about that. A Chaparral hat or shirt might be appropriate since I'm a Texan, and a big Can-Am fan (sorry to hear that Interserie cars won't be present, assuming that's what "garaged" means). I'll make sure to let everyone know what I come up with. |

Not unless you want to be taken out by an armed response unit of our wonderful British police wielding Heckler and Koch automatics! We're kind of funny about firearms over here!

As long as the hotel isn't at Heathrow airport I'm sure I can manage it. English trains on a Bank Holiday Monday........ Do bring some warm/waterproof cloths just in case. The Brands Hatch climate can be pretty nasty. Two marshals had to go to the med centre due to the conditions last Sunday We're likely to be driving through South London, so I may well be carrying my six-shooter! |

That's a good point about the weather, historically this weekend has been wet wet and even wetter. We could probably find you some waterproofs between us if you're not bringing that type of clothing but Europe in May probably require waterproofs anyway!
Will drop you a PM with some contact details |

Not quite OT but re-Masters, heard this morning [nothing to do Brown] that the meeting in September 3rd [nothing to do with past conflics] at Donington is on, any new news re circuit?

Only news I've heard is via Masters, but check out the threads in Trackside about Donington, as there are some links there to news reports.

What days are the Touring 70's on? Im working all weekend and was planning to get cover for the Sun so I can attend Sun and Mon. Just hoping they are not on Sat. Will there be many BMW 3.0 CSL's entered?

Both Proto / Touring / Interserie races on Monday. (Practice Sunday.)
Provisional timetable here As for CSLs, was one out at Snetterton but guess there may be more at Brands. With Masters no entry list until the event. |

Excellent news. Just looked at the timetable and I'm very excited about what I'm going to get to see. Update on attire--I have ordered my Chaparral hat, which will be white with black trim, and I remembered that I have a maroon Texas Embassy Cantina t-shirt that also seems very appropriate, so I'll probably throw that on as well, weather permitting. One other thing, it occurred to me that one way I might be able to try to pay back all this kindness would be by snapping some photos on my way around the track and through the paddock and passing them on. Anyone who will be driving on that day and would like to let me know their race and car number, I'll do my very best to get some decent shots of you. |
