Celebrating 100 years of Brands Hatch
As of 2026, Brands Hatch is not only one of the UK’s best loved motor racing circuits, but also a global icon, revered by competitors and followers of the sport worldwide. Today, the circuit is at the very heart of Britain’s motorsport scene, hosting high profile national and international events, grassroots meetings and countless other activities. The latter includes track days and driving experiences which allow anybody to follow in the wheeltracks of the legends who raced at the venue during its time as a Grand Prix venue. From Jim Clark to Nigel Mansell, to Barry Sheene and Carl Fogarty, Brands Hatch has been the stage on which many of the sport’s greats have performed. It’s where James Hunt and Niki Lauda’s infamous F1 title fight quite literally reached boiling point during the scorching summer of 1976 and where British champions are crowned year after year. Over a ‘Century of Power’ Brands Hatch has established itself as one of the jewels of motor racing. This is its story.
