FF Festival Live-stream

[Retroracer]

Does anyone know if the FF Festival from Brands Hatch will be live-streamed this weekend? It was streamed last year but I can’t find anything for this year.

I am watching it again on the youtube connection. Historics on now!
Oops, it's a replay!!

[Dave Harmison]

I think I found the live link by scrolling down a little in YouTube and saw BRSCC Sunday Live.

The BRSCC.co.uk website says (my EDT conversions):

Historic Final 14:00 GMT (10:00 EDT)
FF Last chance 15:05 GMT (11:05 EDT)
FF Grand Final 16:00 GMT (12:00 EDT)

Having posted that, it appears they are running AHEAD of schedule?
I used my iPhone world clock to convert times. I don’t understand.

I found this ..

Not sure about the time conversion but it APPEARS to be only about an hour off from EDT?
FF's up next - alternating FF/MX-5 all day...

Brands Hatch times are 4 hours ahead of Eastern time zone, so 1600 is 4pm in England and 12noon here.

Bryce in third! Safety car deployed. Should be a nail biter.

Okay, It's winter, and we have time for this; anybody besides me think our runoffs was a lot more exciting than the FF festival races? Larger fields, slippery track at Brands, Short track straights vs long should have produced a pack at the front in the festival, but the point was much more crowded at Road America, as was the second pack also. The last chance and the final [all I saw] showed a leader with a 2 car length advantage most of the time, and almost no real serious attempts at passing for the lead. Plenty of squirrelly cars slithering through damp corners, but not a lot of side to side / wheel to wheel action near the front. Probably not due to quality of the cars or drivers. Track design? damp track? Tires? Disagree with the entire premise?

I don’t disagree with the premise, but would merely say “Both events are, were, and long have been great.”

A young friend fell one spot short of going to Brands a few years back. There’s something about that opportunity that FF here can’t — and doesn’t even try to — match.

If that alone were to change, I’d consider them “equal events.” Until then, the nod is given to the Walter Hayes Trophy, but admit some of that luster is due to it being overseas, and long being smack dab in the heart of the road racing ladder — and lest we forget that ladder existed in England for several years while we were still graduating our guys from oval racing en route to Indy.

Aside, I’m quite proud to know a lifetime best friend invented the “new ladder” here — meaning karts > FF > a higher formulae > Indy cars. After him, the doors were opened and soon followed in succession (with and without karting) by Tom Bagley, Dennis Firestone, Bob Lazier, Bill Alsup, Tim Richmond, Howdy Holmes, Herm Johnson, and more within a few years of my friend.

We also have Carl Haas to profusely thank for his part in reinventing the ladder to Indy.
