Any one fancy Brands Hatch next week?

[mrmule]

Gentle driving should get me 400-450 miles so I'm good to estimate 4 tanks in all. Plus 2 nights away = pretty reasonably priced adventure!!

[sonny]

Yes I think so, and if ya feeling flush, there a OPL at Brands Hatch on the Monday morning lol

[mrmule]

Can you pay on the day for those things? What are the requirements? Lid and cash?

If there's and tires left might have to have a crack!

I'm doing the Sunday 28th Nov at Brands... Book early = cheap cheap...

Damn I won’t be there for that one Carl.

Mrmule, skid lid required, long sleeves (even in saloon). Not sure about bookings, check the link.

To be fair on the Nordschleife you get little tyre wear as it’s not like a fast UK circuit, tyres should be fine IMO, esp if you keep them at the norm OEM settings.

Oooh the ring in Oct eh? I could be up for that, you all booked yet? If I know exact dates and methods of travel that is the best I can prime the Mrs for a green light

[sonny]

Well looking at the calender, It appears that each weekend in october has a full TF day, so will have to be limited to 2 nights (tbh this might wrk out fine for us, keeps costs down).

Not booked nothing yet

Ill have a look at it and I'll do some home work see if we can get something booked..

[mrmule]

sonny, realistically I think I should eb looking at perhaps May/April time. I will definitely get there,just think I am getting a bit carried away at being an RS6 owner again I'm forgetting I have a family! In laws are over from CA for a couple of months for the new baby arrival, so perhaps should wait till after winter.

Will you still go in Oct? And if so would you go again in April '11?

Would be good to have the time to get a few other C5s on board too... 'Dozen RS6's convoy to The Ring'.... That'd be a good forum write up

[sonny]

Yea no worries, I am like 90% up for going, However I am intending on doing Brands also towards the end of October. I will keep you guys informed closer to the date as things can change.

You can count on it, I will most certainly be going over next year, aiming to go over there more than once, as im taking a sabbatical from work.

To be fair, we should get another Forum Ring trip up and running for the new year...

How about ADI meet in Oct, then Tonbridge Audi meet in Oct and then Brands in Oct????.......Im up for that. Although I am half way through convincing my mate to take the GT3 and come along.....Hmmmmmmm Im up for any of the later or former still I guess.

[sonny]

Im stuck in a tight shift at work, I dont land back in the UK until 16th Oct, then flying back out on the 3rd Nov. so only 19 days to play.

[mrmule]

I would be up for brands on the monday morning. And I should be going to Tonbridge and/or goodwood revival.

[stumpyrs4]

If you're referring the the AOC 'meet' at Tonbridge Audi, that's September not OCtober isn't it? The 18th ?

Do you get separate car insurance for the day? Appears to be about £100 per day?
