Brands hatch advice - Saxperience

Im off to brands hatch this weekend for the BMCRC Bike Championships as to be honest im bored of silverstone. just wondering if you guys can give me any advice for the best parts of the circuit to shoot from as i have never been there before. i believe it is going to be only the indy circuit. i was really hoping to get some airbourne / wheelie action shots but is this still possible on the smaller circuit. Also will i spend most the day shooting a la fence or other there parts where you can see above it. Whats best being on the in field or outter part of the circuit.
any help would be great
cheers
James

Non fence parts = druids inside

clearways TV flap or over the fence before it.

Occasionally by the tree looking at paddock.

Else its through the fence at druids.

do they allow you to get right up against the fence to shoot because at silverstone they have like a 10ft wire fence then a handrail which is a meter or so behind which you arent allowed to cross without a press pass

outside of druids you have a series of wires (fence) which is the spectator line, then the catch fencing infront of this.

A big lens can shoot through this though, switch the minimum focus distance to 2.5m or more

Just loose a fair bit of contrast/sharpness.
