Where's the best place to have a good view of the Indy circuit? I've initally booked about halfway up the grandstand on the start/finish line but there may be more action at paddock hill???

Opinions please

Gary

I go to Brands on a fairly regular basis and always spectate from Paddock Hill Bend, not in the grandstand but from the back of the grass banking, if you stand in the right place you can get an uninterupted (by the safety fencing) view for photographs of the cars as they come round the bend towards you You do need to take a chair tho and get there early to grab a decent spot.

From there you usually get to see a few crashes at Paddock and can also see the cars as they brake and turn in to Druids and also as they exit from Druids and go through Graham Hill bend and along Cooper Straight

That's my favourite place anyway but I'm sure others will disagree with me

If you're planning to go for the CART it may be better to grab a grandstand seat at Paddock as I guess it will be very busy although having said that we were there for the Touring Cars on August Bank holiday and sat in the usual spot with a great view even tho' it was packed

I'm going to book tickets this week - CART at Brands Hatch is going to be either an amazing or a hilarious spectacle
