Brands Hatch, April 2012: An iconic weekend at an iconic track!
For the last week it had always looked as if Brands was going to be Wet, Wet, Wet! But it turned out to quite nice, apart from the occasional shower, and only the one wet race. And to get just one wet race from a total of nine qualifying sessions and races can't be all bad.
The quality of the racing was superb as always, with the front of each of the classes' races always very closely contested, from start to finish. Pride of place to the Classics - just one second covered the top six at the finish of the Classics' first race!
A handful of drivers had their weekend spoilt by the penalties they received, both for "exceeding the track limits" (ie. racing on the grass!) and for passing under yellow flags. Frankly, this is the sort of clerking that I want to see - aimed at keeping the racing safe and fair for all of us - and hopefully it will serve as a warning to all of us.
Roll on Rockingham!

'Combe: Yet another great day's racing. With a few notable firsts. In Supers, following his first podium at Zandvoort, first pole position and lap record for Chris Rome; a second-ever race win for Neil Shinner; closely followed by Toby Briant and Reece Somerfield. In Sigmas, the first time this year that Ian Anderson has not been first to take the chequer - but a very impressive drive back to second place after an unforced error left him 16 seconds behind the pack - a lap record helped him on his way; a first 2011 Sigmas win for John Gil; Peter Mullineux took third.
Classics: a first podium finish - third - for Amanda Black; a first 2011 DNF for James Russell; second place and a first 2011 race finish for James Carvey; a first Fastest Lap for Trevor Harber; a third 2011 win for John Parker.
Megas: A first second-place for Paul Allen since Oulton last year; yet another win for Myles Packman; third to Trevor Carvey; a best result (4th) for three years from old man Frosty!

And one win apiece for Somerfield and Stanley in Supers. Best ever podium results were recorded by Stu Thompson, Paul Hawker and Luke Tzourou.
