Title: Golf GTI CHamp Rounds 1 and 2 @ Brands Hatch 28th March.
Post by: Horney on 08 January 2010, 10:56
Ok Guys and Gals,

Think it's about time we sorted a "Meet" at one of these rounds and support the Golf GTI Racing series and the season opener seems like the best one to me as it's a two race meet @ Brands.

More details to follow but thought I'd get this up so people can get it in their diary.

Some pics I took at a round in april at Brands to wet your appetite here:

My early idea for a plan would be to all meet up at the car park at Druids and set up Golfgti.co.uk Base camp there. Maybe with a couple of folks with BBQ's and stoves for making hot drinks and bacon butties during the day.

It's not exactly a short hop for me either but worth it. Looks like the other races will include GT racing, Production BMW Cup and Toyo Tyres Saloon car challange. Some epic racing from that lot.

No need to worry about confirming etc as it'll be just a who turns up, turns up kinda thing. Thought I'd get the date up early so folks can keep it clear if they want to come.

BTW ticket entry is normally £8 in advance or £10 on the gate per person.
