At long last - and I did check how long ago I started this blog - I've booked my first race! The whole family is coming for a few days in sunny (hopefully) Kent with some family friendly fun bookending the race weekend. The Production BMW Championship is running under the Lotus festival so should be a good weekend out.
Brands Hatch GP includes the forest section and was formally run (most recently as the European round) of the Formula 1 championship, and is arguably the most prestigious racing circuit in the UK after Silverstone. I at least know the indy circuit having driven in my Fiesta(!).
So a bit of car prep is needed before then, I have a set of Toyo proxes in good condition ready to go. Turns out I have a slightly knackered wheel bearing too so that's on order. I'll be watching plenty of youtube track guides over the next few weeks....
Very excited!
