I only watched there for the last 15 minutes of race two but was surprised how aggressive they were all being through there. Really cool to watch though.

As others have already said, Brands may not be great for passing, but the spectator experience is in a different league to Silverstone.

Missed this comment when I was catching up with the thread last night but fully agree: was a superb drive in race two, didn't put a wheel wrong the whole race.

All in all, had a good couple of days with a great atmosphere

Without meaning to sound like a broken record (because I have said it here several times before!) it is a real shame that the spectator experience isn't quite what is was on the GP loop (especially round by Westfield), but at least Hawthorns is still good and the inside of Druids is always fantastic.

Last time I did BSB (which was probably 4 or 5 years ago) it was pretty packed there and, as you say, BTCC tends to fill South Bank, but that was unusually busy for "another" event.

Wished I'd have done Saturday now, as I am sure I could have got to a few more photo spots on that day!
