I have been to loads of Touring Car meets which is great as you can walk around the track and find a good spot. One of the reasons why they won't hold F1 there was apparently there are not enough approach roads to handle the traffic but one good point is Biggin Hill is only 8 miles away and they could just chopper peeps in.
But i would not like top see them change the track. i have raced there and its such a fast track and you only need to brake /slow down a couple of times and as a local i know the track inside out and have won many touring car races there( o.k it was on the Playstation but local lad always wins on home track).
Silverstone is not one of my fave tracks Snetterton is my 2nd fav so i think it is about time to let another circuit have ago and one day hopefully come back to Brands.
Brands Hatch is brilliant, I did a race day there and drove a Formula Renault single seater around. Paddock Hill Bend is something else when your in a car like that!
Access isn't brilliant and to chopper people in would be great if not a little over the top for your everyday people
