I know there's a few other people interested in this, so thought i may as well put a thread up. We will be going to see the BTCC at Brands Hatch towards the end of October, this is the season finale so tensions are usually running pretty high, making for a rather entertaining day's racing.
Prices:
Tickets are available from £25 for the day if you pre-book, or £31 for the whole weekend. Pretty fantastic value, i think, especially when you consider all the supporting features. Grandstand seats for the Sunday (main BTCC race day) can be booked for prices ranging from £7 - £15.
Camping is £16pp for the weekend. Gates open at 12pm Friday and we have to be out by 12pm Monday. There's the usual facilities, but obviously they're limited and we'll be sharing them with a few hundred other people, they also close the facilities at midnight on Sunday, so won't be able to shower/poo on Monday morning if we're staying that night too. It's a family event and there will be security present.
Entertainment:
Saturday is mostly made up of qualifying and practice sessions, with a couple of support feature races chucked in towards the end for good measure.
Sunday is race day, BTCC races usually run at about 12:00, 14:30 and 17:00. There will also be races for all of the supporting race features, including:
Porsche Carrera Cup
Ginetta GT Supercup
Formula Renault UK
Ginetta Juniors
Renault Clio Cup
There is usually a "disco" of some sort on Saturday evening, but even if that's a bit weak i daresay the usual camping shenanigans will be enough to keep us all entertained.
Put your name down if you're interested, if i get many people up for it i'll talk to Scott about getting the club kit down there, would be good to represent at an event like this.

Right, have updated the first post with camping details. What do we reckon, does that sound suitable or should we look into finding something more private/suited to having a bunch of noisy mongs attend.

So shit though, this will be one hell of a spectacle; I hope we all saw last weekends' races?! Plato came from 20th to win the final race!! Truly epic performance, and probably one of the best days of racing I've seen in a long time!!
