Would love to watch the Alfas give those over priced lotus Cortinas a good kicking in the touring car race! Dagenham sh**e.

[Snoring Rhino]

Shame I cant make it, Brands is my Fravorit circuit, it'll be interesting seeing those Group C's trying to get around Druids.

[Brad Zarse]

   In the rain as well by the looks of it....I think maybe a trip from Paddock Hill Bend up to Druids might be in order with the camera...I can see a lot of squeezing likely up there!!

Any other takers?  Will see if I can did out a CA flag to take along for recognition purposes!

Warm up is DEFINATELY not the word for this weekends action, cold, wet and orrible probably says it all, but great to see the gorgeous Group C cars running at full tilt in the natural amphitheatre that is Brands.

Apologies if these photos all seem a little focused on two or three cars, but they have been uploaded for the drivers of those cars, and took ages, so haven't been able to do the others as yet.

[Piglet]

We managed to see some of testing on Saturday and the weather was quite nice.  The cars were beautiful and very evocative of times gone by.

The weather for the rest of the weekend was dreadful, I'm lucky that my role keeps me inside and I only ventured out on a couple of occasions. 

It was such a shame as the programme was wonderful and the Masters organisation and MSV had put together a good event.

LOL - nicely put KK!   Interesting how the same event can be experienced so differently depending on your viewpoint.
