Close Racing at Brands Hatch With Friends

It's another race weekend and this time I head to Brands Hatch to race on the historic Grand Prix circuit. The racing is close but as ever some quick fixes are needed to keep the car on track.
You will see that the racing is close but the competitors have a unifying purpose of racing these classic single seaters.

Nice improvement overall, especially with that <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="101">1:41</a> in the race. Well done Richard!

[@toooldandtooslow]

Thanks, I was so pleased to get in the 1:41s and now feel confidence growing.

[@BrandonKrijgsman]

Thank you, great footage bringing back distant (1986ish) memories

[@toooldandtooslow]

You’re never too old to come out of retirement for one last race!

[@BrandonKrijgsman]

@toooldandtooslow still a dream of mine. I tried pre-74 FF then and teamed up with the Hampshiers of Eldon fame when they returned with their Formula Renault and FF2000. I think Danny Stazl may be linked to Elden as I see his name on their posts/ friends. Keep doing a great job. It's been great seeing your improvement. I was never a front runner or had a big budget ☹️ Did the GP circuit once and someone I used to race with and chat in the paddock had an off.

Thank you for sharing with us too!

[@toooldandtooslow]

Thank you for watching. The next race is at Croft, that should be a brilliant weekend.

[@RobertEHunt-dv9sq]

Excellent driving skills. You are improving and I’m sure you’ll be on the podium soon. Great video and yes it’s a good analytical tool post race. Thanks for taking the time to post. Cheers from Texas.

[@toooldandtooslow]

Not sure about the podium, I’m always delighted with a top 10 finish.

[@RobertEHunt-dv9sq]

@@toooldandtooslow Think Winner!!!! Top 10 also works. Cheers

[@D3Sshooter]

Good to see you back...

[@toooldandtooslow]

Getting all the cameras working can be a challenge at times. I do enjoy making the videos and like the feedback.

[@D3Sshooter]

@@toooldandtooslow thanks, and yes I know as I do race FF's and have the same challenges to deal with the car, the camera's and all the rest that comes in between as a one man team....

[@GeorgePenlington-mg3zw]

Great racing with building lots of confidence well done

[@toooldandtooslow]

When the car is going well and is well set up, the confidence comes. Thank you for your kind words.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="101">1:41</a> is not "too slow"!

[@toooldandtooslow]

I’m really enjoying the racing and the speed is coming!

Do yourself a favour, remove the mount under the muffler. Your exhaust will no longer crack.

[@toooldandtooslow]

I would but the muffler weighs 5lbs and would pull the exhaust off. I’m having a stainless steel exhaust modified and hopefully that will be working in a feed weeks.

[@FordHawke1]

@@toooldandtooslow , I've been taking my welder to the track for the past 20 years. I have made emergency repairs to many broken exhausts - but only ones with supports for the muffler. I removed the support for my muffler over 20 years ago, and it has never cracked. I suspect that it has something to do with dampening out engine vibrations.
