Didn't know it was on, may have to take a wander down with ye olde box brownie as long as i am free. Had thought of going to Snetterhole, but brands is much nearer for me.

Cheers for the info.

And a quick question, do you know the schedule and times etc?

I actually don't exactly know. Race starts from central London and I believe goes to Dover. We have signs up at the end of the road (Dartford to Bluewater) saying its closed on the 8th cos of the Tour. No parking from Midnight Sat to 19:00 Sunday. Road will be closed, but it does not say what times?

Great weekend it was! We certainly enjoyed ourselves. Race 1 Sat went ok with us finishing 4th or 5th from last with a best lap of 1.05. Race 2 ended in a DNF when we ended up between gears exiting Clearways and shot up pit lane at speed! Sunday saw a gearing change which benefitted hugely as we finished 5th in Race 1 with a best lap of 1.03! SAdly Race 2 ended with a DNF as the engine lost power and started to make a 'nosie'! Ho hum!
