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

Thanks for such a speady and informative reply. I'm really looking forward to this!!!

Re: BSB Brands Hatch. 12th-14th October
 

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:

Re: BSB Brands Hatch. 12th-14th October
 

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!

Will be there and ready to party!! :D

Although I may be at Skeggy on the Fri/Sat too.....

Re: BSB Brands Hatch. 12th-14th October
 

I'll be there all weekend , hope the weather stays nice ;)

Re: BSB Brands Hatch. 12th-14th October
 

Staying at a hotel in Dartmouth on the fri and sat nights so not to far to travel each day?

What time is it best to get there for??

See ya all at Paddock!

Re: BSB Brands Hatch. 12th-14th October
 

I think you mean DARTFORD...;)

Re: BSB Brands Hatch. 12th-14th October
 

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....

Re: BSB Brands Hatch. 12th-14th October
 

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?

Re: BSB Brands Hatch. 12th-14th October
 

i'l be there hopefully!


went on teh bike for the WSB round, hopefully if its dry we will rdie in a group to brands, if its not its teh car!

Re: BSB Brands Hatch. 12th-14th October
 

I'm thinking the same thing, don't fancy riding all that way if the weathers sucky!

Re: BSB Brands Hatch. 12th-14th October
 

Im going :D
We are camping. Going down Friday afternoon and back Sunday.
Not goin on SV off on the back of my blokes ZZR1400.
I love Brands we went for WSB and it was awesome.
Im rooting for Sykes it would be brilliant if he won his first race their :cool:

Re: BSB Brands Hatch. 12th-14th October
 

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!

Re: BSB Brands Hatch. 12th-14th October
 

What's the parking/traffic like at and around the track?

I'm can't make up my mind wether to take the car or the bike!

Re: BSB Brands Hatch. 12th-14th October
 

Goin 2!!!

Re: BSB Brands Hatch. 12th-14th October
 

So what's the traffic and parking like at and around the track?

Would ya recommend a taxi from Dartford or just drive/ride??

Regards

Re: BSB Brands Hatch. 12th-14th October
 

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! ;-)

Re: BSB Brands Hatch. 12th-14th October
 

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.

Re: BSB Brands Hatch. 12th-14th October
 

Will be there from Friday evening, meeting friends, then staying nearby for the weekend.

JT will be riding his bike there with the #1 plate.

Re: BSB Brands Hatch. 12th-14th October
 

I should be there on Sunday, is it best to ride or drive down? Never been to race track before, should be a lot of fun......give me a shout if anyone wants to meet up.

Re: BSB Brands Hatch. 12th-14th October
 

I am there Sunday, give me a shout, I will be on the bike!

Re: BSB Brands Hatch. 12th-14th October

Re: BSB Brands Hatch. 12th-14th October
