Simple question but which Blancpain series is best to go to. Sprint series at Brands or Enduro at Silverstone? I went to the Enduro last year and loved it (degf needed the live timing app tho!) and always thought this one had the biggest amount of top teams, cars and drivers but this year the Sprint series seems to have improved . Support races at Brands don't look that good though. Wondered what other people's opinions were on this!

I'm intending to go to the endurance race at Silverstone, having been to the Spa 24 for the last couple of years, how easy is it to follow the race? Radio coverage? Big screens?

I went to Brands last year and plan to go again next month. It's a fantastic day. I remember the support races being brilliant, think it was the MX5 cup, Mini cup and GT Cup. Lots of action in each.

No doubt about that, can't think of a track I'd rank lower than Silverstone

Brands will be epic this year with well over 30 entries, it's been great racing the past 2 years with only 18-20 cars. They look absolutely fantastic out in the woods!

List of Things that are Good about Silverstone:

1) Most of the stands have roofs.
2) That is all.

Didn't want this to be a which venue is better thread! Been to both loads of times & yep Brands is awesome, with great viewing, Silverstone for anything other than GP & Classic can be bleak (but covered grandstands can be a godsend!). But was wondering out of the 2 Blancplain series which one was the best as in teams, cars, drivers etc? All a bit irrelevant now tho, committed to the Enduro anyway! The race position displays in the windscreens look like a great addition to GT racing too .
