Another big moment for me was the Pit stop in the Feature race with Brazil and Britain fighting it out for the lead, great feeling when we got the better of them, just a shame the car couldnt make the finish, would of liked to see Robbie and Nelson fight for the lead. I really think this series has a great future ahead of it, it has captured the imagination of not just motorsport fans but other people who perhaps would not have gone to this race if it was just team and driver orientated. I think the countries aspect will attract a whole new audience, and thats fantastic for the sport as a whole. Brands Hatch looked absolutely awesome yesterday and made me wonder what it must of been like during the 80s and the F1 years, very special im sure. A great day, only slightly soured by the incredibly long wait to get out of the circuit.

True, the place rocked. 1st race i've been 2 in England. Clean, tidy, secure and ppl from all over the globe! Especially the Brazilian and Mexican chics i met!
mingled with Dutch, Swiss, Aus, NZ, Japanese and others who didnt know where they're from after like 8 pints!!! I've been 2 Monza this year and you can't compare the 2 formula's in terms of socialising.
Well organized and friendly marshalls. Lots to c and do. Awesome circuit for spectators and easy 2 move around and watch from a different spot. Favourite spots are def Paddock Hill and at the end of Hawthorn Hill.
Lack of overtaking thou but i think the track layout and equal cars had allot to do with it and things will defintely improve in future races. The sprint race results should def not be used for feature race grid positions.
Well done 2 my team (South Africa 2th to 6th!) and great work Brands, i'll def be back...but SORT OUT CIRCUIT ACCESS!!!!!
