Brands Hatch GP Circuit
Is it a mistake that the when BTCC returns to brands this year they will be using the Indy circuit again.
If it is does any one know why? It seems a bit pointless for the series to go back there twice and use the same circuit, and it is a shame as I find the GP circuit more interesting. |

The problem is down to local noise restrictions. The full GP loop is only licenced for something like 8 or 9 days use a year. By the time you include British and World Superbikes and a few test days there's barely any time left for anyone else. Also TOCA (under Alan Gow) always said they would only use the GP loop if there was live TV as the cars were out of view of most spectator for too long.
Agree with you about being more interesting though. Wrong forum I know but GT's on full circuit.. yes please |

Enjoyed the race on the loop immensely last season. Then again we were stood at Dingle Dell when JT came to visit which was a little worrying...

:-) Craig!
Anyway, i think good racing and the new giant screens would help make up for the lack of spectator viewing. |
