Paddock Hill Saturday
Paddock Hill grandstand provides superb views through one of Brands Hatch's most iconic bends and is an ideal location to watch the start line action, as the field jostle for position heading into the first corner. The sweeping curves of Paddock Hill and round Druids Hairpin are key places for overtaking and are often the scenes of breathtaking manoeuvres and dramatic incidents!
Roving Grandstand tickets allows you to choose your seat on a first come, first served basis.
