Of all the circuits in Britain, Brands Hatch is the one that exudes the most character. History seeps from every fibre of its being and, as a spectator venue, it is unsurpassed in what it can offer. The natural amphitheatre that is its 1.2 mile Indy configuration offers unparalleled views of the action, while its sensational Grand Prix circuit remains one of the biggest challenges in UK motor racing.
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 or rider from the
last 50 years or so and they are bound to have cut their teeth racing
there. Stirling Moss, Jim Clark, Barry Sheene, Jack Brabham, Emerson Fittipaldi, Ayrton Senna and current F1 stars Jenson
Button and Paul Di Resta are among the countless drivers to have raced and won at Brands
over the years.
