Mismatch at the Hatch, Brands Hatch, Saturday August 16th

[Pieman]

Brands Hatch have announced a FOTU-esque show for August 16th, this I think would be right up many 'shiters' street.

It's free entry for any pre 2004 non exotica plus driver and there's a full days race program too

Think deadline for entry is some time late July although you can still buy visitors tickets after that for £20 odd quid

Hmm, very tempting to take the Series Land Rover, but it was a long and tiring enough drive in a modern!

[inconsistant]

I've applied for my 924 under the coupes section. I just hope it's not exotica without me realising.

 

edit: Woo hoo I got accepted!

[RoverFolkUs]

The Rover 620Ti has been accepted on the saloons and estates stand, so I intend to be in attendance with it

[wesacosa]

Tempted to book in for this.......

[High Jetter]

Would a 2001 A4 qualify then?

Submit it for the relevant stand and they'll decide, free entry for the car and driver if so

[Christine]

I'm in ! 

[castros_bro]

I'm in, now just need to find an Autoshite sticker.

[wesacosa]

ah fck it, booked 

 

Note

you do need to apply for a ticket too once your car is accepted, through the link on the acceptance e mail but its a free ticket for the driver 

[High Jetter]

Is there a time you need to arrive by / stay untill if you get accepted?

when I showed my car on super touring car power the other week it was arrival by 9.30 and no stay until time but guess this one isn't guaranteed to be same

 

[wesacosa]

I just checked my ticket and I seem to be in the "perfect ordinary car zone"   hmm, hope they dont look too close at my rear arches

Looking forward to this!  I’m guessing we’ll all be parked in different areas but if anyone fancies meeting up maybe we could agree a place/time once we’re in?

Texaco on the edge of West Kingsdown?

[Pieman]

[wesacosa]

ha awesome although not sure where they got the info there's only one Xedos 6 on the road!

[inconsistant]

I don't think there’s any point meeting before and going in together only to find we’re parked in different areas. Apparently…
Gates open for display vehicles Saturday 16th August 08:00am -10:00am 

So how about meet 11am at the catering place at the bottom of the hill up to Druids for a mid morning cuppa?  It’s between the track and the paddock area.

The Kentagon?

[Pieman]

Kentagon is on the outside of Paddock Hill Bend (and does a very good breakfast!) - the one in the lower paddock next to the hill up to Druid's is called Hailwood's.

[wesacosa]

looks like they are still accepting display car applications 

 

[Christine]

Thank you! It cleans up surprisingly well

[inconsistant]

All washed here and ready to go. Me and the car. My son is coming too, he’s convinced there are going to be youtube car people there, his world revolves around that stuff, being 16, into cars and always on the socials. 
i’m just looking forward to ‘not supercars’ because I’m easily pleased.

We’re aiming for Hailwood's track side fine dining at 11am. See you there!
