Not been to either of these, but from the layout of the circuit.....

Sit at Hangar if you want to see an F1 car blasting past at 190mph;

Sit at Farm if you want to see an F1 car braking/negotiating corner/accelerating.

You may see more overtaking at Hangar, with the KERS and aero, as it's where the car hit their highest speed before braking for Stowe.

Brooklands complex. BRDC didn't plonk their office there for nothing.

^useful comment..

Id say Hanger straight as its one of the best ovetaking spots on the circuit and depending on which stand it is you can see the cars for a fair amount of time

Bump...

Currently in negotiations with Johnny regarding tickets for Sunday and came to post this very question.

We will have two boys (6 & 7) with us on race day, any ideas as to facilities available at/near to Hangar and Farm? Seven year old is F1 obsessed thanks to Johnny! Would love them both to get the best viewing/thrill opportunity.
I'm thinking Hangar, due to top speeds, and overtaking oportunities?

End of the hanger straight there is toilets and food outlets, though I think there is also the same at Farm as well!
