I love BH Indy, 5 turns easy to try to learn, I don't do many track-days but always head to the novice day with an instructor every couple of years, slightly tuned suspension BMW 120d...

I love driving cars with snap oversteer. Brand hatch is one of my favourite tracks together with Imola Zandvoort and zolder.

With relatively few corners, it sounds like an easy course to remember, but exceedingly difficult to master! Lots of subtleties! Lol at the outtakes!

I'm sure it depends on what car you are driving. I would say (and I'm just an ex club racer) that in an F3 the braking point (or lift on a good day) is on the access road, high up on the left before Paddock Hill. You can steal a bit of track by pushing your front left wheel into the access road, which opens the corner a bit. Get it right and you will make Jonathan Palmer cry as you run right over his curb at the bottom of the hill (I see from your video that he's given up on the grass). Your tip for the turn in for Druids is good, but if you are in a race, its often better to launch up the inside (or defend that part of the track). I agree with you about Surtees being the best corner. Everyone talks about Paddock, but you can make more time in Surtees. I found that you needed to set your car up to run both curbs flat. This was much harder in the earlier Mono shock cars. Just biff/baff the left/right curb and aim for the marshals post in the distance. I once had my throttle jam open and just missed the post :/ Clearways is all about trying to get on the power as early as possible, then I would run the pit wall until letting the car run high after the start/finish line, looking for the access road again. To be honest, I never really liked Brands that much. You end up doing a lot of passing back markers and after 25 laps I'm starting to think more about a pint at the Kentagon than my turn in points :) Great to find your youtube channel and wishing you all the best.

This is the first track in Project Cars 2 in the Clio Cup career series, and honestly everything I thought I knew about racing (as a novice) was thrown out the window. Add to that the characteristics of the FWD Clio (usually with cold rear tyres) and you're discovering a wonderful world of lift-off oversteer.

No mention of the bumpy track.. has that been smoothed out since the 60s/70s.. (Yes, my age is showing :>)
