Brand Hatch Indy Track Review in a Mazda MX5 2.0 litre 184PS with costs 

I recently started playing assetto corsa and gravitated to this track, coincidentally with an mx-5 nd too. It's interesting seeing our differences with braking points and gears.

It's wild to me finding this second channel of yours featuring your MX5 as I've been using your main one to learn manual in my NA MX5! Really a fan of the platform, and could absolutely see myself getting an ND down the line.

Great fan of your Conquer Driving channel. I look at many other instructor channels but still think yours is the best. I came across this channel only recently but will watch some of the videos.

Amazing footage! And you were narrating throughout; talk about multitasking! I enjoyed this more than I anticipated. Thanks.👍

Gotta love the beautiful little MX-5!

The tip and toe is already impressively done to begin with, but while driving so quickly and precisely AND talking for the video, that's crazy 😂👍

Thanks for all your videos help me a lot and I passed today first time(6minors though) Bought an old MR2 MKIII, hopefully see you on track in the future ;)

I FINALLY FOUND YOUR TRACK CHANNEL IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR IT FOR AGES

Hi Richard, just want to give you a shout out and thank you for making great videos! I am from Thailand and is a car enthusiast who just got into driving. I absolutely love watching your videos both on this channel and Conquer Driving. I find your video very enjoyable and they help me tremendously in being a better driver. Even though rules and regulations here are somewhat different from the UK but I always find your videos useful. Keep up the good work. Cheers 🎉 PS. I also used to live in the UK as a student and your videos help when I miss my life in UK too lol

Oh my god! Only seen your driving instructing videos until now.

Terrific driving and narration 👍🏼

They do use the gp track for trackdays. It’s pretty expensive and a limited amount of times throughout the year. This is because on the residents complain about the noise. Which is stupid since the track has been there longer than the people who moved next to the track 🤦🏻‍♂️

Hello, BH is my fave UK circuit. Have loved this place since my childhood. I usually come here for mainly the GP and a little Indy for track time on my Aprilia RSV4. In August I am here for the F4 and M4 experience. Best corner on Indy is Druids and best corner on GP has to be Surtees for me, but Stirling has to come a close second as it is sweet when you're cranked over as it's banked.

My dream is to drive the indy circuit of Brands Hatch!!! Mostly because its the only map in sim racing that I can do without crashing 😂😂 still it would be so cool to go there one day! awesome video as always!

Just bought a mk2 MX-5 and looking to get into track days, interesting to know the costs

amazing driving Richard :)

what a nice circuit, looks to be fun

Very helpful vid thankyou 👏. Think I'll check Bedford out for my maiden voyage now.

Great video, I've been driving for a few years now so your regular content isn't really something that I learn from, but I still find it kinda calming to have on in the background while I work. This video is more like my usual RU-vid genre. So far I've always wanted to do a track day but avoided it because I'm not sure about how it affects insurance. Every year when I renew I'm asked if my car is gonna be used for motorsport and I always say no since I assume it will negatively affect my premium to say yes. Do you know if a non-competitive track day counts as "motorsport" and if so what do you do re insurance? Do you have 2 seperate insurances on your car, one for road and one for track? Or, do you simply tell your insurance company that you plan to use the car for motorsport?

Hi, I believe you are wrongly using the word Apex instead of Curb/Kerb. Apex is the point on the inside of the corner where you are the closest to the inside. Good video though :)

Good video. I think it's a pretty interesting track, I have played it in video games and also seen recordings of races there in the past. I would like to go and race at a track one of these days, but there are not that many around here. For example, the nearest one is like 70 miles away from me and its just a dirt oval. Someone told me about a racing school in Arizona that has track days but that is like, multiple days of driving to get there. Plus, the expense of it all is a bit much for me at this period of my life.

How do you like the PS4's vs the stock tire? Do they break away more progressively when oversteering? Great track day video, thanks for the upload!

Could you do a Snetterton track day review? I've seen that you've uploaded a lot of videos there but not a review yet, it'd be great to see!

I've never considered this circuit as it looks too busy to me. I don't like it when they mix road cars with track cars, the speed difference is too much, it gets dangerous. I had a session at Thruxton, and even in a Porsche Cayman I felt like I was standing still as all these track cars flew past! Have a go at Castle Combe, see if you can beat my 100mph down the straight in my ND 160. I reckon you need a BBR 220 conversion next.

Richard. Dealer group announces second showroom closure in a fortnight as boss again hits out at manufacturers chasing online sales Underwoods Vauxhall Colchester to close down after 25 years in business

Great stuff. I drove that circuit many times in my youth playing Acornsoft’s Revs on the BBC Micro. Looks fun.

I have a question. Why do you brake with your left foot? Even though you aren't rev-matching. You don't use the right foot, but brake with the left. Sorry if the answer is obvious, I'm just seeing it for the first time.

Is braking and accelerating at the same time bad for the clutch?

Hi Richard, great video, thanks! Some questions as I'm interested in taking my car to a track day, but a bit nervous. I don't have the space/tools to change pads myself, so should I pay to change to higher temp track pads and just leave them on my car full time? Likewise with tyres, do I need to change my current road tyres for a track day? If I get higher spec tyres, can I just leave them on full time? And a question about helmets, did you rent yours at the track? Cheers!

Richard what fuel do you use, E10 or premium?

Ever been to the nurburgring?

Nice socks

Its a track day stop looking at your mirrors and drive 😂

Did your girlfriend know you took her car to brands?

Brand*s* Hatch, as usual love the video!
