Track of The Month – September 2018
Brands Hatch GP, Great Britain
This September, our Track of the Month is the famous 2.4 mile Brands Hatch GP circuit, located in Kent.
Brands Hatch is one the UK’s most recognised racetracks, with its dips, cambers and fearsome corners, including the infamous Paddock Hill bend, combining for some enthralling racing.
Since the circuit’s creation in 1926, Brands Hatch has been host to its fair share of Motorsport, with Formula 1, Indycar and the British Touring Cars just to name a few. The German DTM series also returned in August this year.
For several years, Brands Hatch has been the venue for both the season opener and season finale for the British Touring Car Championship (BTCC). The series uses the shorter (Indy) circuit for the first event, and the longer (GP) circuit for the latter.
Watch Mat Jackson set a lap record on the GP circuit back in 2015.
We hope you enjoy this fantastic circuit and the cars we have chosen!
