Brands Hatch GP

Brands Hatch is one of the most iconic sporting venues in the world and can lay claim to being the busiest race circuit in Europe. Having undergone a series of major improvements in recent years, the Kent circuit now attracts some of the biggest international events on the calendar. Ever since starting out as a dirt track motorcycle circuit in 1926, Brands Hatch has been characterised by its natural ampitheatre, with virtually the entire ‘Indy’ configuration visible from the spectator banking and grandstands. A firm fans’ favourite, Brands Hatch has also witnessed a number of significant moments in history.
