Brands: Yer not gonna like it
Discussion
From Dingle Dell to Clearways basically is a no go zone. A few little brief areas where you can watch, access roads etc, but you now cant get anywher enear Stirlings or that straight.
They send you on a lovely walk through the wood, miles form the track at Sheenes, and also a new area on Hawthorn Hill, from Hawthorn Hill most of the way round is 10 ft high shiny silver catch fencing. With poke holes for cameras, but they are in front of the old fence so you cant stick your camera through them.
Basically long circuit is now only for drivers, been completely ruined for fans.
So, simply put I will never, ever go there again.
Well done JP

I would think it was forced on him by the SEAT accident a while ago, as that is the area that you cant basically watch from anymore.
But the endless catch fencing is awful, like watching from the road and not paying to get in.
it will turn off an awful lot of fans believe me. I know 4 at least who will never go to Brands Hatch ever again because of it.
Admittedly they are keen snappers, but even as a punter it is pretty bad.
he might not have any choice, but in reality you might aswell just bloody close the hole old circuit down to speccys as do this as it has been ruined out of all recognition

I agree
But what direction are most of the corners?
right handers, most cars will leave the track left side.
There must have been a risk assessment done, and they obviously concluded this was not what happens, and this is the result.
It's awful, utterly ruins the GP loop experience and is going tom lose them hundreds of fans.
God only knows what the bike racing fans, who no doubt have no idea, will make of it when MSV's biggest series comes to the GP loop.
They will hate it even more as bikes NEVER crash on the inside to be hoenst
