Thurs 25th at Brands Hatch
Merv, have a look a the link above - ?99 for an afternoon's worth on the Indy circuit.
To get a group booing would need about 50 paying punters - but they normally only allow 20 or so cars on the track at the same time.
If there were to be 50 drivers, I can have a word with Jonathan Palmer and see what he can do, but I think it could be hard to get that many.
Have a look at the other track day rates - some offer the full GP circuit for all day!!
The day we were there had M3 CSLs/Aston Martin's/Porkers going around having fun!
His company also does Bedford autodrome.
GO FOR IT MERV - and I might even come down and take some piccies!!!

My Ride: 535d Sport Tourer - E34 M5 Race Car
Personally, I would recommend Bedford before Brands. Bedford is a more forgiving circuit with huge run off areas and is so long that you rarely get traffic jams like you can get at Brands (esp the Indy circuit). Bedford also has longer, faster sections which are more suited to the E60. Brands GP is good but expensive (usually ?300). I'm shortly going to book up a day at Bedford (usually c. ?150) for Sponsors to drive the race car & CSL and may take the E61 535d round if any of you are interested in a mini-E60/1 track meet. I was also going to hire an instructor for the day to help my sponsors get round so there may be the chance to have some free/cheap tuition also.

shiny thanks for that - I have edited the 500mb 4x lap MPEG and given you two smaller videos.? Let us know when you have the address for th hosting! One video is leaving the pit lane for a warm up lap and the other is behind the 308 who was braking far too early and nearly caught me out....!? (til I passed him

I agree - in fact JP has invited up to Bedford which is, as you say, far more forgiving!
It is a nice to felling to go over the start finish line at Brands and into Paddock, knowing the history and that F1 drivers have doen the same!! (though faster and tidier through the bends....!)
Thanks shiney - I may upload it later. (please excuse my poor driving and lines through the corners - it was my first two laps!!)
