Just got around to trying the new content. Brands is pretty spot on though no sim has yet correctly conveyed the depth of elevation at paddock hill that you experience when you drive there for real, (you literally get a windscreen full of Tarmac heading down it) but the circuit as a whole is excellent.
The Escort is excellent and would make for great racing, nice controllable drifting galore. Tried the Lotus 25 but it did nothing for me. What I really liked and don't know even it was released but the Lotus 72D single seater is pretty awesome around Brands
