The Masters Historic Festival returns to Brands Hatch for two days of motorsport nostalgia on the classic Grand Prix circuit this May. 

Headline entertainment will come from the Masters Racing Legends series for normally aspirated F1 cars from the ‘60s to ‘80s, as the classic sound of F1 returns to the venue 60 years on from the circuit’s first Grand Prix.

Other special content will include the Masters Endurance Legends class for ‘90s and ‘00s Le Mans prototypes and GTs, whilst the Masters Sports Car Legends will recall a time when Brands Hatch frequently hosted 1000km international races in the ‘60s and ‘70s. Additional action will come from the Masters Gentleman Drivers, Masters GT Trophy and Masters Pre-66 Touring Cars.  A guest race from the HRDC Gerry Marshall Trophy will provide a superb grid of pre-’83 group 1 and group 1 ½ Touring cars.

Tickets will be available on the gate
