Having been in charge of the Donington Hospitality suite for Castrol when I worked for them and done several sessions in the Brands Suite Castrol also had, I can say that they are an excellent way to see events.
My only concern in this instance for those looking to shell out £150 is if Motorsport Vision (the owners of Brands and ultimately the suites) will allow it to be traded in this manner. Someone I guess has a season's worth of tickets (With the Donington box you got 20 tickets and 10 car park passes for every meeting held at the circuit (cars and bikes). To put it in some form of perspective, the suite on the Craner Curves at Donny cost approx £6k per year (Yes per year...that's inc the WSB meeting that was held in those days, GP, touring cars, INdy cars etc, etc). My guess is someone is looking to make a real killing on the Brands WSB weekend and recoup a good wedge of their annual outlay.
Who cares tho', £150 each for a start/finish straight view on Brands WSB weekend will be of interest to loads..
Got me wondering tho...what's happend to the Friday Practice and Saturday qualifying tickets that will come with the suite????????
As this Ebayer also has no history ( ZERO feedback rating), I would be very wary and cross all your t's B4 forking out.
If you do go ahead, see about getting a TV installed for the day. You could order it as an extra at Donington for about £100 for the day. Well worth it cos it's linked into the circuit cameras which means you get to see the whole lap, not just what's going on outside the window.
Just my educated penneth folks.
