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.

My mental health

I don't really know why I am writing this but it may help me or someone else in the future, today I am low, very low, I feel very stuck in a rubbish situation and don't see it ever getting better. At the moment money is tight, very tight and it really is getting me down, I feel like I am letting everyone down. I want to be the best person I can be and the best Mum possible to my girls, I want to be able to provide a good life for them and don't want them to even know that we are ever struggling. I suffer from anxiety but this doesn't feel anything like that, this feels like a have got a weight in my heart, one that feels painful too, its like a constant sinking feeling that drains me too. I am tired and emotional and just had enough and I really don't know what to do or how to even take the next step. I really hope that one day soon we don't have to worry so much, that we can live a little more comfortable and that life gives us some luck as the pas

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. Preheat you oven to gas mark 4/180oC 2. Brown off the mince and drain off excess oil from the pan. 3. Pour in the passa
