As there are only 3 bike race meetings on the Brands Hatch GP circuit - Bemsee and 2 BSB rounds - most people will be unaware of what has been done to the circuit since last year. I only found out today as I was at the Bemsee round. ALL of the GP circuit now has catch fencing and you can't go anywhere near Stirlings Bend - you can barely even see it. The only clear bits are right at the inside of Hawthorn Bend for a short length, both sides just after the vehicle bridge to Druids and the outside of the approach to Hawthorn Bend where they have not cut any of the trees to discourage spectators but there was nothing to actually say you couldn't go there. Indeed today there was no fence to stop you which surprised me but as the marshals don't drive up the dirt track any more it will be overgrown very soon. Lots of comments on car forums pointing the finger of blame at the DTM series demanding the fencing. Nobody watched out there today so they could have saved the money and just shut it off. Not too sure they haven't done that in the past from signs I once saw lying around at a previous Bemsee meeting. That would have been better as then it could be open for bike races.

I saw the fencing was half done in April as they let us park bikes on the GP track during BSB. It’s a shame, I’ve always loved my walks out the back of the circuit.

The outside is Hawthorn is cool, if it’s still accessible now then it should be for the 2 BSB rounds. It’s not exactly an official viewing area as there are loads of foliage and steep banks, I guess that’s why it’s not had the mesh put up. I’ll be extra annoyed if they take that away too.
