Hmmm...

In addition, when going to the toilets or refreshment vans, you have to almost fight to make your way through the crowds.

Very much this - Brands has been rammed for the last few years at BTCC meets (so much so I only went on Saturday last year - Sundays just too busy). On the GP loop there's plenty of space once you're out in the woods but obviously you've got to get there via the busy spots and if they're on the Indy circuit then it's all busy. On the occasions I've been to Snetterton for BTCC that's also been tightly packed in a number of places.
