Is it Paddock Hill, Pit Straight or Desire Wilson?

I'd say Paddock hill for the best views of the track. You can see nearly the entire Indy Circuit.

Paddock Hill is open all the time, the temporary ones are only used for major events.

Paddock Hill by a country mile. We usually sit there...

Oh definitely Paddock Bend. There's also a good view from the Foulston Centre too

If you can get into one of the top floor hospitality boxes you can see over the pit block and all you miss is the top of Druids and a tiny bit of Surtees/McLaren. But apart from that it's Paddock

The beauty of Brands is that a fold up chair offers just a good a view as any grandstand. Plus you can wonder round. We were in the middle of Druids for the first DTM race earler this year - awesome!! You can actually see the whites of the driver's eyes! Don't think any other UK circuit offers such close proximity viewing.

You can get very close at Lodge and Hilltop at Oulton Park. Spa in Belgium is one of the best spectator circuits I've been to. The run from Stavelot up to the Bus Stop is open to spectators, with no debris fence or anything. Just a short wire fence (up to about thigh level), about 15 foot from the track. Awesome place to stand
