Talking GT PORSCHE TRACK DAY

Was reading through this months GT Porsche magasine and fell upon an ad for a tempting track day at Brands Hatch dedicated to Porsches...

...question is anyone in the 964 world planning on going?
And can anyone give me some insider knowledge on experiences with Brands Hatch?

Here is the link for those interested: http://www.clubmsv.com/car-home/even...orschetrackday

Sorry not going, but looks good value.

I've only been around Brands on a bike, tbh the Indy circuit is a bit pants, it's too short to get into your stride really.

GP circuit is awesome though, elevation changes are fantastic, and loads of bottle required.

Unfortunately, my very last bike experience lasted all of 10 mins, in the pits.

I highsided my bike at 20mph, I hit one of the steel bollards that protect the bins, and broke my left ankle in two places, compound fracture of both femurs, broken left hand, smashed right wrist and cracked right thumb, 7 weeks in various hospitals, and going to be another 7 months of recovery (This all happend in May).

I still love the place though lol

Sugar I'm sorry to hear that, wishing you a speedy recovery.

Hmmm... that's my thought, the Indy circuit does look a bit plain but I'm relishing an opportunity to meet other enthusiasts

Paddock Hill is still a challenge, I'd say go for it, you won't know unless you try.

Thanks for the positive thoughts, well on my way
