Hi All,

I have been offered (and accepted) some paddock passes for Brnads this weekend, for both Saturday and Sunday.

Does anyone know what they offer me compared to normal tickets?

Its for paddock 8 if that means anything.

Paddock pass usually means you'll be allowed to get in the area behind the garages or the big paddock area at the bottom of Paddock Hill bend - when I went to WSBK's I found the paddock pass was much much better than the pit walk which was a con, as soon as your in your ushered out by someone shouting "KEEP MOVING WE NEED TO CLEAR THE PIT LANE!"

Haven't been for couple years, so forgive me if this is an obvious anser;

Are tickets for the WTCC event available at the gate? Or do I have to have pre-booked them?

Weather permitting, I fancy a trip down to Brands. Any Idea what prices would be?

Thanks guys.

Weather is supposed to be bad this weekend, but that could make for more interesting racing, so could be worth a visit smile

Last time it rained at Brand I got stuck in the car-park (field). RWD and an inch of mud makes like tricky.

There isn't any need for a pass for the inside (GP) paddock at Brands so I don't think you get anything different to normal access passes.

For Major events (BTCC and up) a paddock pass is always needed to access the GP paddock. For the DTM, (I'm not sure about WTCC as I've not made it for a few years.) you need one for the outer paddock as well.
