Hi mate, In my opinion Brands is the best circuit in the country. Its just the indy circuit so you will easily take in the whole track from different places during the day. We just move around between races. I love standing at the top of paddock hill bend for the first race and watch 20 odd riders barreling down. It doesnt look that steep on the tele, but wait till you get there! Druids is also a really good place to watch (either inside or ouside the corner.) Finishing up on clarke curve is also a goodie. Wherever you decide to go mate i'm sure you will have a top day. Enjoy! :smt077

I'll be there too. Trouble with the Indy circuit is it gets very busy, very quickly! Get there early if you want a good photo spot!:cool:

I'll be there! If you can, stand at druids haipin (second corner, after the plunge that is paddock hill bend) just as the riders are braking for it - you'll see lots of sideways action and the sounds are incredible!

Paddock is amazing, you have to see it to beleive it

Come on Chris Walker!

And Leon Haslam!

Best time is probably before 9am, specialy if you want a good place at paddock. But it dosnt get as busy as WSBK meetings

But if its only the indy circuit....

Dartford sounds much better, travelling from Dartmouth would be a massive trek each day!!! :-)

Well hopefully I'll see ya all at paddocks, I'll try to wear something sv orientated so's I can meet some new faces.

Where's everybody staying?

Must admit it would be good to see tom "juimmy hill chin" sykes to get his first win. He has been so good all year. Really consitant!
However he unfortunately cant because Leon haslam has to win the championship.....maybe next year sykesey!

The coppers are really good round the track. Yes it gets busy but if you are happy filtering its fairly quick. The coppers quide you down past the 4 wheeled boxes. Take some normal clothes too in a rucksack and you can drop off your helmet and leathers at a drop stop. Cant remember how much it was last time but who can put a price on comfort! ;-)

Just drive/ride...thats the best. I normally park up at druids and then go out after past the back of the paddock. And its the short circuit this time round so if you dont mind parking on the south bank, you can normally get away with a bbq and gazebo over there as well.
