Having not made the most of my afternoon at brands on monday im really tempted to book another half day, the afternoon on december 3rd is only 79 quid and the morning will probably be cheaper. Only thing is the weather at the moment, mondays session was ended early due to bad weather, what are the chances realistically of getting a dry day?

They were fine! After a mix up they ended up in the morning sessions which was dry, the rain picked up at lunch time and got worse and worse! I didnt get any dry laps. Put it in the gravel trap on my second lap out and wasted about half an hour then the session was ended early!

All in all I only went out about 4 times, I was really getting used to the conditions though it wasnt all that bad.

Good thing about track/test days this time of year is that they are relatively quiet. Just got to hope you get a good day.

Hmm, it's not to bad doing a track day in the rain TBH, as long as you have decent tyres then get amongst it.
