Quoted from Performance Ford Magazine website:
Quote:

Performance Ford Magazine, along with its sister title, Retro Ford, are holding a two day spectacular of Ford-only track action at the legendary Brands Hatch circuit in Kent. The event is being held on Monday 12th and Tuesday 13th November with some spaces still available for the Tuesday.

A bit late notice I know but I found out about this last week and decided to take one day off work and come to the UK to attends this track day on Tuesday 13. I will be flying up and landing in Gatwick at 7:35 AM and will be flying out same day at around 9 PM. The track day is from 9 AM to 5 PM at Brands Hatch. I was originally going to rent a car from Gatwick and drive to Brands but I thought I'd ask if anyone from here was intending in going to this track day and if they live close to Gatwick could they give me a lift? Lunch is on me

I'll be easy to spot... I'll be the chap hanging around the RS200's with a camera around his neck...

Well over a week has passed since the event but I've finally managed to sort out some pics from the day... No particular order for the pics... just the order in which they were taken.

Here is batch 1-10 of 20 the pics I selected:

Even though the weather doesn't look too good, I'm sure you had a brilliant time Nick. Thank you for taking those pictures and putting them up for us. The black Cossie looks in amazing condition inside and out, and as for the GT...

Yup, the black Escos was amazing indeed. It does not show in the pics but it was running major power with dog leg box and big diffs front and rear. Also had anti-lag which made for some interesting sounds.

The GT sounded awesome too and it was bloody quick. He actually ended up in a sand pit at one stage, luckily without hitting anything but definitely calmed him down. In a straight line it seemed a little quicker than the 200's.
