Here's footage from Tim Harber in his Austin Cooper taking part in the HSCC ByBox Historic Touring Car race at Brands Hatch a couple of weeks ago. It was a bit wet that day which made for some entertaining driving. Just watch as he understeers and oversteers all over the place just trying to keep the car on track.

I went to Silverstone last year. They use the what is called the National Circuit, which is the old start finish, round Copse, upto Maggots, then down Wellington to Brookland, round Luffield and through Woodcote and onto the straight again. It was sunny last year, I'm hoping it will be the same this year.
The time table and entry list will be posted here http://www.hscc.org.uk/calendar.html in the next few days.

Yeah I thought they'd probably use the national circuit as it's a club event. Fingers crossed the weather will be decent, are you going again this year?

Silverstone was great, loads of fantastic cars and a very relaxed atmosphere - not to mention the fantastic racing! Will definitely be going again next year.
