I've had a look throught the "pit lane" postings and have not come across the rules regarding roll over bars. First question, is a roll bar required for Brandshatch and if not should I fit one anyway in case of a slow speed roll. (I'm only thinking of the bolt in type which will fall off anyway if you roll at any real speed.) By the way mine is a rather slow 1275 Midget. Looking forward to the day hope the sun shines.

The vast majority of cars at MGoT track days are standard road cars without roll bars. Regards, Dave
