One of the world's most iconic sporting venues, Brands Hatch
plays host to a multitude of prestigious motorsport events on both
two and four wheels.
In addition to hosting top international meetings such as the
DTM, Brands Hatch is also visited by the MCE Insurance British
Superbike Championship and Dunlop MSA British Touring Car
Championship, both of which will hold their 2013 opening and
closing rounds here. Other big events including British F3/GT, the
Masters and Historic Superprix nostalgic meetings, the British
Truck Championship and many club car and bike meetings.
Brands Hatch will again host festivals for the Mini and
Lotus marques in 2013, whilst making its debut in 2013 is the
NASCAR-headlined American SpeedFest, plus a special one-off meeting
in July to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Aston Martin.
A natural amphitheatre offering unrivalled views of the action
from various vantage points, Brands Hatch is known as Britain's
best loved motor racing circuit. And you can experience it for
yourself with a renowned programme of driving experiences and
trackdays on offer.
There has been a race track at Brands since 1926, when the land
was first used for grass track bike racing. In those days,
competitors ran anti-clockwise, but the direction of the circuit
was switched in 1954.
The heritage of Brands is vast - name any famous driver from the
last 50 years or so and they are bound to have cut their teeth
racing here. Stirling Moss, Jim Clark, Barry Sheene, Jack Brabham,
Ayrton Senna and Jenson Button are among the countless drivers to
have raced and won at Brands over the years.
Nigel Mansell scored his first Grand Prix victory there, also
winning the final F1 race at Brands in 1986. The circuit became the
spiritual home of the World Superbike Championship in the 1990s and
2000s, and hosted the first A1 Grand Prix in 2005. Past winners of
the Formula Ford Festival meanwhile have included Jenson Button and
Mark Webber. Brands Hatch continues to make history, with the Road
Cycling events at the 2012 Paralympic Games based at the Kent
circuit proving a huge success, with Alex
Zanardi's performances voted as the number one moment of the
2012 Paralympic Games by the International Paralympic Committee. In
2013 it becomes one of few circuits to stage an F1, Indycar and
NASCAR event, the latter making its debut at the American SpeedFest
with the European Touring series.
Brands Hatch's unique combination of dips, cambers, fearsome
corners and hills means it is still one of the world's favourite
racing circuits, and continues to go from strength to strength.
