Mazda MX5 racing at Brands Hatch

BRSCC Season Opener

This two-day season-opening race meeting at Brands Hatch was run by the BRSCC South Eastern Centre, and several different classes ran around the Indy circuit. 

Fixtures for the weekend were the BRSCC Mazda MX-5 Championship, BRSCC Mazda MX-5 Super Series, BRSCC Fiesta Championship, BRSCC Fiesta Junior Championship, Speed Group F1000 Championship, Nankang Tyres BMW Compact Cup,  with additional races from the Track Attack Race Club. I could only make the Saturday for practice and qualifying, but it was an entertaining few hours at my local circuit.

Waiting for the next frame

At Goodwood’s Members’ Meeting, the racing is only part of the picture. Somewhere between the paddock, the staging area and the track, the day develops its own rhythm. You just have to pay attention.
