Thanks MP.

I initially stood at Luffield and was fine from there (and this was the best spot in terms of fences).

I then tried the grandstand you mentioned for this shot, a grandstand further down the pits straight for some others (fences were a real issue here).

In the afternoon, I was in the centre and really struggled to find a good spot, until me and my mate managed to find an area with no Marshalls, where we copuld have walked onto the circuit if we had wanted. Managed to get a few shots from there (although didn't want to get too close to the circuit as the drivers could probably have seen us where we were and didn't want to cause a crash!) until a Marshall came and ushered us back into the spectator areas (spoilsport! lol)

Had a great day, but didn;t really come up with many keepers.

Might try the hospitality package next time. £85+VAT per person and you get to sit on the inside of the complex at brooklands...there didn;t loko to be too many fences there from what I saw..
