Great photos and the MG is rather interesting !

I don't many were made, i saw one at MG live back in 2013, which could be that one, that clayton has photoed
From a rough calculation there are about 20 ish on the road with sorn'ed cars included in that amount that we could find Clayton.

We got the VIP booth, due to the weather been bad for the race day, we camped at a local campsite. Bit of a drive down for us. But it was worth it for the trip
The MG thing, that might be the one i saw at MG live back in 2013, I don't think MG Rover made that many of those at all, a 3rd party company took over the production of those, but i think the new owners of MG, took the company to court of the name or something, so not sure if they are still in production.
I tend to go to Croft and Knock hill for the BTCC, Croft been only 45mins a way if that. Knock Hill about 2 hours drive depending on if you are not towing.
Knockhill is the one for taking photos of the touring cars mind, as they are in tents and on show, one thing with Brands Hatch is that they are in the centre which is crap. Croft and Silverstone are the same, practically out of sight sadly. ( been Silverstone too and camped for the BTCC, championship final 2011)
Your lucky to not be to far away from the Knock Hill circuit Procta, that's the one track that we think is the best all round for entertainment, so we have hatched a plan so we can make the journey up to there in a couple of years time 
You can camp at knockill too Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back

Glad you and your daughter had a good time, Clayton
Some great shots. Never knew anything about the MG. Everyday is a School day
Brands Hatch is a great circuit as if you position yourself right for spectating, you can see a large proportion of the indie circuit. I love the place.
To throw my towel into the ring, I also really like Donington. Haven’t been for a while, but it is a fantastic circuit.

Thanks Rashers
We were in the grandstand seats so we could see them go through Paddock, Hailwood and around Druids and we could see the " short circuit " but we made sure it was the "long circuit " with the added bonus of the ITV big screens
Donnington is a good place and for around 10 - 12 years i use to go up every year and spend the whole weekend when they held the rock concerts there, they were good times Clayton.

I would camp but no one else likes to, so that's why it has to be a Premier Inn Clayton.
