..... for Winter WeekendThe dates for the Legends Cars 2005 Winter Weekend has been set with the 5/8ths scale Yamaha powered machines returning to Brands Hatch on Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th November.The 2005 Championship came to a close at September’s Thunder Sunday event last weekend with Peter Morton taking the title.  The original intention was for the Legends’ Winter Weekend also to be staged at Rockingham as part of October’s Thunder Sunday.  Several factors have come into play which means that the Winter Weekend will move from the first weekend in October to the first weekend in November and from Rockingham to Brands Hatch.  Some drivers will have cars en route to the USA for the World Legends Championship at Sears Point and others will use the extra time to prepare cars for several new drivers keen to try Legends.With Legends Cars now active across Europe as well as the USA, Legends boss Phil Cooper has extended an invitation to drivers from Belgium, Spain and France to compete at what may turn out to be a Legends Cars Winter Festival.  “All of our European friends are well aware of the Brands Hatch name and the circuit’s excellent reputation.  It’s an ideal circuit for Legends Cars both from the drivers’ perspective and that of the fans.”The Winter Weekend will consist of two days racing with three races on each day. “We tend to get a lot of new drivers trying the cars at our Winter meeting,” adds Cooper.  “It’s always a fun event. The emphasis will be on enjoyable racing, not trophy chasing.  Any drivers wanting to race at Brands should get in touch with us early on to avoid disappointment.”“Most of this year’s drivers have already stated their intention to race in the National Championship again in 2006.  I’m thrilled to be in that situation. We’ve had full grids all season and are looking forward to next season when the entry will be headed by our new champion, Peter Morton.”
