I do not agree with this at all! Last year, when it was the second round, we had three exciting races, some of the best of the season. In 2019, it was one of the most thrilling title deciders I've ever witnessed. In 2018 we had that final round battle for the lead between Cook and Sutton where they were side-by-side for almost an entire lap. In 2017, Turkington put in the drive of his career to win race two from 15th on the grid and keep the title fight alive. In 2016, Shedden had to pass Tordoff on track to win. In 2015, Shedden fought from the back to get fourth and beat Plato for the title. 2014 was pretty much over before we got to Brands, but we still had that great race which Morgan won. In 2013, Jordan fought from the back in the final race to win the title. 2012 was wet but we had wins for Aron Smith and Frank Wrathall. And then the 2009 final round was another of the greatest ever title battles between Turkington, Plato and Giovanardi. I will not allow the Brands Hatch Grand Prix circuit to be insulted like this; it's the best track on the calendar.
