I can't comment on RAW but I suggest the inside of Druids (over the Carlube bridge) for the best plcae for close ups with no fences to get in the way. If you have a light alloy set of steps you could get some good head on shots from over the top of the fencing from the outside of Druids. There is also a camera position hole in the fencing on Clearways just before the cars come back round to start back onto the start/finish straight.

You may also be able to get some over head style shots from on the terrace on top of the toilet block opposite the pits.

Inside of Surtees, inside of paddock, there's quite few good shots to be had at Brands. Just look around, and use the support races to try some ideas.
