BSB Brands Opener

[Jdubya]

Anyone going this weekend? I'll be there Sat/Sun/Mon mainly around the exit to stirlings taking photos but I may spend sunday just watching the racing at Paddock Hill exit on me deckchair!:D

[Jelster]

I'll be there for race day, probably up at Druids, I like it watching them all rush up to the hairpin, hard on the brakes and then shooting out the other side.

The sound as they all come up together on the first lap is awesome.

Well if the racing dosnt capture your attention, then try asking every couple in alpinestars gear if they are matt and maria. First one to find us wins a burger and chips :p :D

I'll be there on monday, it's my first time at Brands to watch an event, so I was gonna start a thread asking if anyone have any advice/recomendations on where to sit for good viewing? or any other advice like what to take or what time to get up there etc? but i thought i'd derail this one slightly, soz :oops:

Cheers, Gaz.

[Jelster]

Brands is probably one of the best spectator tracks around because it has great viewing points as well as very good facilities.

Paddock Hill Bend is always a good place (watch the supersport boys here and you'll probably get to see at least one good "off".

Druids is also great, as they thunder uphill to the hairpin, dip it in, and then hard on the gas out the other side.

Stand at Stirlings and watch the run up to Clark is also a good spot.

I'll be heading for the infield to get some pictures on the inside of the hairpin.

Hope you enjoy it...
