Bernie, bring the Grand Prix back to Brands !

Is Paddock hill bend the most impresive corner in the world ? It scared the s***t out of me when taken with speed.!!!

Paddock is monster - I had the privilege of seeing the GP at brands in 1982 IIRC.

It's a great cicuit, but it's still not as good as Knockhill - obviously.

Paddock Hill is good, but IMHO Cadwell as 6 or 7 Paddock Hill bends, if youv'e never driven or riden Cadwell DO IT, scary.

Saw WSBK at brands this year and BSBK at Cadwell.
Never raced at Brands but is a great circuit and I always spectate at Paddock Hill. However spent a lot of time on Cadwell and it is an awesome track, Gooseneck and Mansfield are tougher than any other section of circuit Ive been on. Gotta be on a par with the Corkscrew at Laguna with regard to getting it right, and the Mountain is a hoot to ride over.
I love Cadwell
