Brands hatch | Super Touring Power

Brands hatch | Super Touring Power | 1st July 2023

Today we have visited Brands Hatch race circuit in Kent to enjoy the Super Touring Power event, this is one that we have never been to but one we will definitely be going to again. The event is based around celebrating different eras of BTCC cars including pre 03/pre 93 and Thunder and Jaguar and of course the Super tourers, this is the first year that this event has gone on.

Today the event took place on the GP track and whizzes down the straights with such a noise, there were so many cars to see with some races having 40 different vehicles on the track at once, the different eras of car as well really made the day more entertaining and it was great to see some classics on the track.

This event also has pit lane access and normal pit access to so you can have a look around the cars that are not racing and interact with the racers too. In fact we managed to meet Jake Hill who is currently 3rd in the driver standings in British touring cars, he was very friendly and willing to come over and have a chat which meant a lot to us.

over the weekend the event has and will welcome some special guests to meet the public and have interviews too, today the main one that I heard of was Alain Menu who raced BTCC cars during the 90's, a perfect addition to the packed timetable for the day

Brands hatch is a great track to visit as you are able to walk around the majority of the track meaning that you can see many different views during your visit. There are food venues dotted around in different parts of the track but we do take our own camp cooker for bacon sarnies in the morning. At the top end of the track there are a few shops which have been open both times we have visited this year meaning that you can buy some souvenirs while there.

The last race we watched was the last super tourer race of the day, it was a great race with Jake Hill coming first, we always park on Southbank which is a part of the track that you can pay pay park in (£5-£10 depending on the event). All in all it was a fantastic day and if you read this in time then maybe you can plan a visit tomorrow for a fun filled day at the track.

Autumn Tag

Hello, I thought that today I would take part in the Autumn tag so you can all get to know me a little better, I took part in this on my old blog many years back and a lot has changed since. Autumn has to be my favourite season with so much change and the excitement for Christmas not far ahead. 1. What signifies the start of Autumn for you? I know Autumn starts at the end of September but for me its the first of November when it starts to officially feel like Autumn, it all of the sudden feels different and colder after Halloween and especially when the clocks go back too. 2. What is your favourite Autumn scent? My favourite autumn scents are either Orange or berries, they always make the house smell so warm and toasty in wax melt form and I love them in a hand cream or even a bubble bath scent too around this time of year.. 3. What is your favourite Autumn colour? My favourite Autumn colour has to be the burnt orange for the leaves but burgundy colour for clothing, the are just very w...

Cottage pie recipe

I have recently started making my own Cottage pie with a recipe that I have tweeted to work four our fussy family. I find that a cottage pie is such an Autumn/Winter staple as it feeling like such a warm, hearty meal, one that is a proper comfort meal. I recently started making the meal and found that I didn't have a packet mix in so decided to find a recipe to try out, the first one I found sounded good but I changed it slightly to fit our family, Lils isn't keen on fresh onion ad none of us like celery. I thought I would share our recipe with you which can easily be adapted if need be. Recipe 500g Beef Mince 1 carton of tomato passata 1 tbs tomato paste 1 beef stock cube 1 beef stock pot 1 tsp onion salt 1 tsp garlic granules 1 tsp mixed herbs 2 medium carrots sliced and part cooked Salt and pepper 3 large potatoes for mash 75g cheese Method 1.
