Brands Hatch Circuit

My cousin raced in the BMW Kumho cup 2014. It was an awesome day full of excitement and fun. Brands Hatch must have been fantastic in its hay day but times change with restrictions set by the local council. My understanding is they have to finish racing by 6pm as not to annoy the local home owners?! My cousin races for BMW we had their hospitality suite which is fab. The suite is close to the commentators tower and pit lane you have a fantastic view of the circuit. The event is well organised and the race track is kept immaculate. Noise from the engines as they speed by you is exhilarating as well as the screeching from the tyres. They have a restaurant/​café on site which is ok. This place is worth a visit to see races as the admission is very reasonable and makes for a different day out. They have Lots of events for you to try, maybe next time I will do F1 driver training for the day? Xoxo

this must be one of the best tracks in the world. i have an annual pass to this place and this year alone i spent 21 days track side, much to my kids delight. its genuine you can never have a bad word to say about brands hatch. if your thinking of going but cant make up your mind, go and see the bsb you wont be let down!

home of the bsb and btcc races.
marshal camping on site as well public camping for these events.
Indy circuit is a very quick under a minute to complete a lap whilst the GP circuit takes a lot longer. feature paddock hill which is a steep down hill before heading to druids, fast and furious where crashes or riders come off to entertain the crowds.

Easily the best track in the UK. I’d love to see and F1 race here soon please!!! Watching the cars fly over the creat and down the steep hill at the first corner is breathtaking.
The facilities are fair, the toilets are usually clean.
The circuit is really easy to find, just off the m25.

Probably one of the best known racing circuits in the world. SDince taken over by Motorsport Vision a few years ago it has attracted big races such as the A1 GP British SuperBikes Worls Superbikes, DTM and British Touring Cars. The great thing about this circuit is you can walk all the way around it and affords great views from most areas. There are two tracks the fullGP and the smaller Indy. Most of the indy track is visible from any grandstand area. Admission is very reasonable and children under 13 go free. All I can say is its a shame more people dont attend the racesas it is a great day out. Much better value than 90m of football!

Although Brands has a lot going for it the restrictions placed on the track by the local council has really cut back on which days the full Grand Prix circuit can be used. Having said that watching the frantic action on the Indy version can also be good, it really depends on which series is racing at the time.
The access if you’re coming via public transpirt isn’t very good, I tried to arrive via train once and was thankful that there was a taxi at the station who knew where he was going and that a friend took pity on us and gave us a lift back after the racing.

Brands Hatch is situated in Kent, since hosting the British grand prix on 12 occasions since its creation the track now plays host o some of the best motor racing action in the world including:
World Superbikes
British Superbikes
World Touring Cars
British Touring Cars
DTM (Dutch Touring Masters)
A1GP
As well as many other events
I have been and seen British Touring cars as well as the World Touring cars there both times the action is intense and the racing close. There are two layouts to Brands hatch the grand prix circuit, just over 2 miles long and the Indy track around half the size of the grand prix layout but just as thrilling, the Indy track also has the advantage of allowing spectators to see most of the track from some vantage points. Brands Hatch’s most notorious collection of corners is paddock hill into druids taken at high speed a sweeping right hand bend leads up hill into a right hairpin. With viewing all the way this is a fantastic place to watch with plenty of thrills and spills over a weekend.
Parking is plentiful but this is in fields so be prepared if it is damp under foot.
Prices vary from event to event British touring cars is around £22 a person for a Sundays racing where as the A1GP world cup of motor sport is£35 on the gate it is always best to buy online in advance as there are significant price drops.
I would also mention that grandstand seating costs extra and isn’t covered so if its raining make sure you take your umbrella.
During a race meeting there are plenty of food outlets and merchandise stands as well as go karts and the chance to walk around the pit areas at certain times so keep a lookout for timetables.
Brands hatch also offers track days so if you are interested in trying to be the next Lewis Hamilton its ideal.
It’s a great track to watch Racing at or have a go yourself.

Possibly the best motor racing circuit in the UK. The run from the pit straight through paddock Hill Badn and around Druids makes for some of the most exciting racing you can wish for. Great overtaking opportunites and crashes galore! Since its been taken over by Motorsport Vision the facilities have been excellently upgraded and food is very reasonably priced. Camping facilities are basic but good. Premier events are the A1GP and DTM.
