BRANDS HATCH!!!
Absolutely no doubt! Brands Hatch offers a superb variety of up hill/down hill, corners, straights, in and out of trees compared to Silverstone which in my opinion is fairly bland. Take a look at the F1 videos of the 70s and 80s or visit the circuit yourself and then compare it to Silverstone - you'll see what I mean!

Both are outstanding (especially when compared with soulless places like the Hungaroring) but Silverstone has the edge when it comes to speed and complexity. I would love to see the facilities at Brands Hatch improved to the current Silverstone levels (superb!) and the British Grand Prix alternate between the two circuits from year to year.

Silverstone for sure the track is better suited for F1 with the the average lap speed being faster than brands hatch, F1's flat out is better racing in my mind

each has their own attractions, and points that drivers like. Brands Hatch used to be the home of the Brit grand prix. From a personal point of view I think Silverstone/
However if they wanted to bring it back to Brands Hatch, then they could do what they are going to do in Germany and run the Brit GP on alternate years. This would be very beneficial to the Brit GP and the two circuits would share the cost of keeping the GP in Britian and therefore thwart Bernie Ecclestone and keep the GP coming to Britian in the future.

Silverstone - access isn't great - but it has the biggest helicopter port in Europe. It has had loads of improvements - Brands hatch is a bit dated by comparison

Silverstone has the best fascilities, but Brands Hatch has the best track and in my opinion thats what should be taken into account when choosing venues for grand prix, which one gives the best racing. I think Donington is the best track in the U.K. followed closely by Oulton Park.

I'll swim against the tide here and say Brands Hatch. I attended my first Grand Prix at the Kentish circuit and if I really concentrate, I can visualize those wonderfully-named corners: Paddock Hill Bend, Pilgrim Drop, Dingle Dell Corner and Clearways.
Hands up those who answered this question and have actually been to a Grand Prix at Brands.

Brands is my home so i would say Brands because the track has everything a driver can wish for the most challanging track in britian. Silverstone is quite boring but it is a wide track with more overtaking chances.
