So first track day post Covid lockdown, and first time driving at Brands Hatch Grand Prix circuit!
Due to noise restrictions at this circuit, my 996.2 Manthey GT3 was the most suitable car to take. There were going to be a lot of 600+ hp Mclarens, newer Porsches and Ferrari’s there so the only way I was going to be remotely competitive with a 17 year old 410 hp manual gearbox car with no aids, without everyone falling all over me, was to wear slicks.! Which is what I did and I think car acquitted itself superbly. I really enjoyed the day.
As track hadn’t been used for a couple of months it had a lot of debris, grass, dust etc so not the grippiest surface. However non of that mattered as we were all just happy to be back on track!!
