went to see it at oulton park, foOKing briliant wheevr u si...............look for the sharpest corner and one which requires moast braking for most crashes.
Ive raced at Brands a couple of times on the cbr 600...........I like the first orner on tyhe first lap.......if u make ti through the karnage-ur a hero
Im pissed finished a 6 hour shift (16 hours in the last 30) and my new boss paid for all my drinks at the end so please ignore ne spelling mistakes or pissed up antics

I watched my cousin practice round Oulton, was a top day and watching practicing is free. Went to give him some moral support.

Brands hatch is 3 miles from my house. I grew up in there.
Good places.
After start/fin straight, paddock hill bend. Not many, but whne the do crash its usually nasty.
Up the hill u have Druids, 180degree bend, lots of overtaking.
Following is down the hill, round graham hill bend, along pst the bottom of the pits, round to the big 180 corner called, errr, arse, offfff wassit called. Grrrrr, anyway, the sharpest point on the long corner b4 the start n finish straight.

the grandstand on paddock hill bend is the place to be, u can see the straight the paddock hill bend itself and the beginning and end of druids u can also see the infeild bit too, if they are doing the clubman circuit then u can pretty well see it all, as for the bikes, the world superbikes at brands is awesome and i can see oulten park being better, i was there when it was the bigest single sporting event of the year (120,000 people) - it was awesome
on the flipside i went to snetterton on last sunday and i have never been less impressed by a track it was crap - nowhere u cud see more than one corner and i felt scammed up paying a tenner to see a bunch of clios and old tvrs racing.
