Both are classic layouts and fun to drive either in a game or probably in real life for those who love track days. But at the same time, neither seems insanely well suited for multi-class racing.

Both Brands and Sonoma have tons of choke points and relatively few clean overtaking spots. Sadly, fun to drive layouts don't always promote the best racing, and nowadays there seems to be a need for balance between those two extremes.

A small comment on Brands, which doesn’t really change the point here. Brands is fine for multi class racing (enjoyed it myself), but not really for modern multi class at prototype speed.
