Brands Hatch
Going to a couple of mini challenge races at Brands Hatch (june and july).
Where are the best places to view the race. I know someone racing that day. Cheers |

On the Indy circuit... Paddock Hill is probably the place with the most action (for action read accidents) and you can see most of the circuit from the Grandstand
Or if they are lucky enough to be on the GP loop then a walk out into the woods is the best place to see the cars.... no debris fences! |

Definitely Paddock hill grandstand IMHO, as has been pointed out you can see just about all of the Indy circuit especially if it's your first visit.
Have a walk round the whole circuit during qualifying. |

Agree top or bottom of Paddock is the place to spectate if it's too crowded then the exit of Druids isn't bad as you can still see most of padock and Graham Hill bend.

I quite like watching from Paddock Hill, however, Mr Palmer and co were charging £15 per person to enter the grandstand.
Not good value for money and I would quite happily tell him where to stick it. |

On the two weekends in question the Grandstands will be open free of charge, however generally speaking I have to agree, it is stupidly overpriced! |

I would be inclined to agree there.Have not been since 2005-A1GP,but watching on TV the size of the crowd makes me wonder why they bother to charge at all for clubbie meetings at Mini Challenge level.

But yeah BTCC it was £5 for qualifying and £15 for race day, which is frankly ridiculous |
