The plan was go and see an old friend of mine (and Vicky’s old boss) who I used to do tracks days with racing.  Simon didn’t have a good practice session so returned home to work on the bike and concentrate on getting a good setup for the Sunday, so unfortunately we didn’t manage to meet up with Simon.

With temperatures of 2 degrees and despite lovely sunshine, a bitter wind whipped across Brands Hatch making it very unpleasant viewing.   There weren’t very many spectators in attendance.

As with all modern circuits these days high fencing ruins most photographic options … but despite this I manage to get a few decent shots in the dying sunshine on Saturday afternoon
