The best place to watch Touring Cars
Where's the best place to watch Touring Cars?
Personally I don't think that you can beat the Paddock Hill Grandstand at Brands Hatch |

I quite enjoyed watching at Knickerbrook at Oulton Park in April this year. Scene of quite a few incidents (not to mention a few shunts and that major accident in GT in August aswell).

the banking at Hawthorne bend at Croft, you can see half - 3/4 of the circuit from there, and O'Neills car in flames!

Between McIntyres and Butchers or just at McIntyres is good. You can see Duffus all the way to Clark and beyond. Otherwse, the hairpin is quite good.

seeing them sweep round Corum and then through Russell Chicane (standing on the outside) at Snetterton. some great action although they've moved the barrier back for safety reasons so the veiw isnt as good as it used to be. im a bit biased though i practically live at Russell chicane every sunday.

Watching the cars dance over the top of the hill into the Dunlop Loop at the old Amaroo Park was a great sight as well |

Tbe best place to watch touring cars in the States is by far The Corkscrew at Laguna Seca. There is nothing like it! "Yes we do have touring cars in the US..."

I have to say it is Paddock Hill bend. Remember Sopers crash in 2001 at graham hill bend? From paddock hill bend i had the most amazibg view of that! The TV just cannot show how forceful impacts are, i saw Moen and that Ford Focus go off at the same time, there was the loudest echo! Its just great
