This is how you take Paddock Hill Bend at Brands Hatch.

I was in the passenger seat of my mates VX220 and he ran out of tallent and we slid sideways allthe way dow the hill and ended up facing up the hill. When we went to get going two VX220's came down the hill and one went past either side of us last minuite. Shat my nickers tbh lol

That last video is excactly why i dont want to do Brands Hatch.

Nurburgring is fine but for some reason i just dont wana do Brands.

I love that RX7 vid, a classic. The bloke putting his foot on the dash is awesome.

Thing is, people who go off make clear mistakes. The RX7 vid is one of the best "how not do Paddock Hill" demonstrations out there. Why on earth would go round the outside edge of any corner, let alone Paddock?

The Fiesta video is easy to explain too. The first one, on 'cold tyres' had turned in too early and realised he was going to take the kerb. Decided he didn't wanted to, lifted off, and almost spun. If he just ran over the outside kerb, he would have been fine.

The second red Fiesta completely missed the apex, realised he was understeering off and so lifted off. Bye-bye Fiesta.

No one needs to be scared of Paddock, it is easy. It's also a great fun so shouldn't be missed out... i would say the 'Ring is far more intimidating!

Is this the same corner that all the videos on YouTube have like crash compilations of. Got a hill before it and everyone goes in well too quick iirc
