SES at BTCC for Free - 1st October

[Scott.T]

I have managed to secure 30 Free tickets for SES to attend the final round of the BTCC on 1st October on the Brands Hatch GP circuit.

We have space for 15 cars for SES members to attend in an official capacity.

Tickets will be handed out on the gate but I need names to allocate to each ticket or pair of tickets.

Driver and passenger get in for 'Free'

For this event we won't be limiting the stand to just Subaru, so if you are a SES member and want to come despite no Scooby just pop your name down.

Attendees :
1. Scott.T + 1 adult + 1 child

Great job Scott. Even at the advanced online prices, if there's two people in every car then that's over £800 of free tickets.

Let's make this a big one, probably the last chance this year to get a decent sized club attendance at an event this year

Hoping the subarus have a better day(well plato not had much luck this year) than last week at silverstone especially after the bull**** with sutton getting penalized in race 2 for his overtake on sutton,saw a lot worse all day and no one getting screwed over like he was!!!!,but starting from last in race 3 to finish 11th with weight shows why i think he gonna be champ next weekend after the way he has drove all year.

[Scott.T]

OK Ian, sorry to here....I was just searching out your reg number
List updated with all those that have provided details.

[Scott.T]

The above list has now been sent of to Brands as they asked for it today.
If your not on the list you may be out of luck.

[Scott.T]

We will meet up beforehand, in our usual spot just inside the M25 at the Brands junction at Wested Lane

https://www.google.co.uk/maps/dir/51...51.3598711!3e0

TIME : 0745 for an 0800 departure

I have pulled it forward 15 minutes compared to what I had planned as the BTCC anoraks get in early and setup their seating position for the day even prior to 0900, so it may be busy.

Pit walkabout is at 0910
Timetable here : http://www.brandshatch.co.uk/media/6...tcc_oct_v3.pdf

[Neil97rs]

I will try to find the meeting point this time as I just sailed by it last time and had to wait up the road.
Im working until midnight as well so I apologize already for my tired look and lack of conversations.

[Bigtel]

Hi All,

Bummer, too late.

Let me know if anyone drops out and a spare ticket comes up.

I'll be going Saturday anyway, and probably Sunday.

Billy Monger track walk at 6pm Saturday if anyone is there.

[Neil97rs]

The weather forecast has changed to heavy rain all day

[boggissimo]

I'm doing an overnight long distance trial on Friday night-Saturday, getting back late Saturday evening...but would like to come up to Brands on Sunday if I can. I have a season pass so no worries about the tickets for me, and also my car is filthy and I won't have a chance to clean it before Sunday, so if I do get there, will probably park elsewhere! Whereabouts at the circuit will the club stand be?

[Scott.T]

Should have some nice rooster tails out on the GP circuit then. Walking boots will probably be a wise choice.

[tbtstt]

Definitely looks like it will be a boots and waterproofs kind of day!

[BIG"E"]

I prefer to use :

Your all have a good day what ever the weather , always is on the last meet of the season

Will probably see a few of you Sunday morning on the way to EuroTunnel

Already changed from Heavy to light on the BBC weather App

If you meet us at the rendezvous point we may be able to blag/sneek you in.

[Scott.T]

Hastings Crew will be leaving Harrow Pub car park at 0655, we have a collection to make at 0700 from 1066 Cafe

Met Office are showing the heavy rain arriving earlier now, so we should get to dry off during the last race before the drive home!

As much as I don't want to get really wet, I am hoping we get rain at some point in the day as it's bound to make things interesting out on track.

Yep, the two sites I use for forecasting are showing the rain coming in over Saturday evening/early Sunday morning with only the occasional light shower on Sunday daytime. Looking better

[Scott.T]

A downpour on about lap 4 would be interesting.
We go for the racing of course !!!!

[BIG"E"]

Looking slightly better.

List updated
Looks like BigTels a lucky boy.....

[Bigtel]

Nice one, at least it looks a little less moist too

[Simon-Sti]

Hi everyone,

I deeply regret that due to ongoing family drama's that are currently unfolding I'm unable to make this event now neither.
Gutted is an understatement it seems this week has been a disaster!!

Hope you have a great time which I'm sure you will.

Some pics of the stand and day will go some way to cheering me up!

Very best
Simon.

[Steve_PPP]

Sorry to hear that.... all the best mate and we'll see you at the next one hopefully...

[Neil97rs]

See u in the morning

[tbtstt]

Didn't bother cleaning the car today given the forecast tomorrow...

...just seen the latest forecast and it looks like the rain will pass over Brands before 7: might have to get a sponge out and clean it now!

[555_Si]

Just cleaned mine in the dark and rain, hmm, not sure how productive that was.

[NL03Scooby]

Mine got a good clean this morning, then went to Blue Bell hill for the meet, then the Isle of Sheppey to see Ryan, then came home in the rain, it’s pretty grimy again...

[tbtstt]

Ha, I have done the same and I'm not sure on how effective it was either!

[Steve_PPP]

Washed mine this afternoon and was just finishing when it started raining so chucked it back in the garage. Hopefully it will be dry tomorrow

See you all at Wested Lane at 7:45am

[Bigtel]

Mines been to Brands and back today so not the cleanest.
Great Qually day, Roll on race day.

[ScoobyStu]

Hope you all have a great day, look forward to seeing the pics and videos

[Scott.T]

Just back.Car unloaded, banners away (possibly for the last time in 2017), car can sit on the drive tonight in an attempt to dry out.
Thanks all for coming, I hope you all enjoyed the day and thankfully the rain held off till the end.

[NL03Scooby]

Was a great day, I openly admit to knowing very little about BTCC, I think I will attempt to make a change to that from now on, certainly seems a far more interesting and competitive Motorsport.

Thanks for organising everything today Scott, was awesome being able to drive the Scoobs (and Clio and Mondeo...) right in to the circuit for such a big event.

Great seeing everyone today, hope all manage to dry out and warm up, saying that we were pretty fortunate with the weather and the forecast was fairly accurate.

[BIG"E"]

Cheers Scott brilliant day despite the weather..

[tbtstt]

I'm pleased to finally make an SES meet this year! Many thanks for organizing Scott, much appreciated. Great day of racing, despite the weather and a good result for Subaru in the end!

Guess you all left at the end of the last race? I got back to my car and it was the only one left on the gravel!

[Red Baron]

Was a great day, would like to have seen a proper race for the championship in the last race but got the outcome we hoped for, really felt sorry for Turkington.
Thanks for organising Scott, cracking parking spot as well.

[Ginola]

Thanks all for a brilliant day out, and thanks for organising Scott, as the chequered flag fell everyone scarpered Steve!

Watched this on tv and really enjoyed it. Like NL03Scooby didn't know much about BTCC, but will watch out for it next year.

[Bigtel]

Good to catch up with everyone yesterday.
Great day, Well done for sorting it out Scott

[Steve_PPP]

Great day's racing. As above, felt sorry for Turkington as I'd have been cheering him on for the title win if he'd been up against anyone else (especially those pesky Hondas of Shedden/Neal!). But had to support Subaru really, Ash Sutton has had a great year and made his teammates look pretty poor really.

Thanks to Scott for organising, and for leaving tickets on the gate and space for me to park the daily barge on the stand. One day I'll get the scoob problems properly sorted...

Good to catch up with everyone!

[boggissimo]

We came late and had to leave early yesterday, so watched a bit of the action at the back end of the GP circuit and then gradually made our way round to the start/finish straight. By the time we got to the SES area it was raining and most people seemed to be hiding elsewhere! My boy was wondering why a couple of the cars (Steve_PPP and Ginola I think) had a pink 'i' badge on the front instead of a Subaru one?

Also was followed back down the hill by another blob wagon, we gave each other the thumbs up as we parted ways at the M20 roundabout outside Wrotham

Wasn't me, i was in the dirty grey mondeo as the scoob not worky

But the pink 'i' badge is a JDM thing, not sure where it came from though or the reason for it being i, other than standing for impreza?

[Neil97rs]

Great day and thanks Scott some guy was also looking for you from brands hatch think he said his name was Martin . He was the guy who sorted the tickets for us. He asked to pass on his thanks .
Also the i is for Impreza " to be really anal it's cherry blossom red and not pink lol" it's just a special colour in Japanese society nothing more exciting than that I'm afraid.

It was Richard from Brands.
We have caught up today and he sends thanks to the club for supporting the event.

Fairly sure it is Steve's (son)

[Red Baron]

Tell him to let me know if he needs it and I can drop it off, otherwise it can rattle around in my boot until the next meet.

[alfa male]

Yeah that'll be mine! Keep it mate as I got a freebie! lol
