It does cost a bit especially with the extra cot involved (tyre wear, petrol, mars bars) but it is the GP track and in June so I thought £149 was not too bad considering. I'm hiring a bike too as the Harley wouldn't quite cut it!

Snetters, Rockingham and Mallory do seem to do cheaper deals but I think you have to do the new Silverstone GP layout at some point

as its a great track. Brands GP is £209!

I quess for the gp track it isnt a bad price. It is one track that I want to to. Brands is alway very expensive but worth the money for paddocks corner alone.

Brands GP is my favourite circuit. Fast, narrow and undulating at the back. Very different from Silverstone which is wide and pretty flat. Much as I like Silverstone, if I was only doing one TD this year it would have to be Brands GP

+1 love Brands, had a great time there with my curvy, felt like go karting!

been to Silverstone twice, but I keep getting lost and struggle to judge speed and braking points after long straights... I need to go out more!

Just spoken to FE, they have plenty of places left. I'm going to check out the weather next week and likely book this if it looks dry. Cadwell for the 6th is full in inters...

I did Brands GP last week. It was as expected - absolutely outstanding, it just has about everything I could want. Fast corners, hills, tight technical corners, cambers, sense of history, good facilities. The weather was scorchio and I didn't come off. Great place.

Good luck at Silverstone, at the moment I think I'll find it too frustrating on the straights with my 600. Maybe next year for me on a 750. Good luck, enjoy!

I am going to wait till the weekend to see if i want to book. I will be doing it on a 600 and that will b enough done the straights, if some bloke on a 1000 wants to over take me on the straights that fine, i will just do him on the brakes
