We will do things very differently next year..The brief was set up for drivers who had driven Brunty before....The chap briefing should have a map of the course to show the corners as he spoke about the course...as they do at Llandow.......Will be feeding this back to John......
Andy, the only part I felt uncomfortable with was the end of the straight. The straight is so wide that even by looking in all mirrors and having a glance over my shoulders, I couldn't be sure there wasn't another car behind or coming alongside me. So wasn't sure if I needed to give way or was ok just to turn in. The wide variation of combinations of speed and stopping ability (both the cars and the bravery of the drivers) just added to the uncertainty. I think at one point I was in a 5-abreast run down to the corner, and I don't think anyone really knew how to handle it...lots of looking across at each other and tentative braking. Not really sure how to improve the situation next year, but maybe funnel everyone into a narrower straight, and make sure we all understand it's not a braking competition and that although we want to give the punters the best possible experience, the racing line isn't the objective.
More time for briefings, and make sure all drivers go to the briefing (at least to start with). Maybe a printed track map "rules of the road" for the drivers.
