What have they done to the GP loop?
And is that a Koenigsegg? |

Stirlings is mostly inaccessible now, you can still get to the path on the exit, but that now has high fencing as well. I personally think they have ruined it for spectators. I can understand the need for increased safety (especially around the approach to Stirlings), but I think what they have done elsewhere is excessive. Quote:

Great photos mate, despite Brand Hatch's efforts to stuff it up for you. I completely agree with everything you've said - for me, the GP circuit is (was) the best part of the spectator experience - away from the crowds and the stupid tannoy screaming in your ear all day.
I expected the catch fencing in logical places (high risk areas) as the previous low level barriers were a bit erm.... sketchy. But a continuous fence around the majority of the GP loop ruins it. Plus watching from the turn in point to Stirlings was my favourite spot on the whole circuit, and now it is inaccessible :( |

Great pictures.
Fencing has nothing to do with spectators safety IMHO. It's all due to DTM coming and their regulations. I believe some fencing was erected for them on the indy when they last came. It's probably more about preventing drivers launching into tree's. I'll probably still go to the DTM as it's a rare event, but the GP circuit is 95% ruined now for spectators. |

I was really excited about seeing the DTM on the GP loop, but the new fencing has pretty much wiped that out. Perhaps I'll feel different nearer the time, but at the moment I'm not inclined to go back to Brands again. |
