Brands Hatch has become synonymous with motorsport and fittingly for its location in a natural ampitheatre, has seen great battles over the years. Nowadays, the shorter of its two configurations – the kidney shaped Indy circuit. Despite being only 1.2 miles long and simple in shape, this is a fun circuit and the apparent straightforward appearance belies its challenging nature and the complexity of its corners. For example, the famous Paddock Hill where a cambered braking zone, blind apex and steep drop off combine to make this one of the most exhilarating corners anywhere in the UK. The longer GP circuit is subject to more restrictive noise limits and hence used less throughout the year – spaces on these trackdays fill up quickly with riders eager to pit themselves against even more of the demanding dips, cambers and famous corners. On this longer circuit you get to experience the thrill of the steep descent down Pilgrims Drop, fringed with woodland, and the fastest part of the circuit into Hawthorn Bend. As with all MSV owned circuits, the paddock facilities are great, with pit garages and plenty of places to eat.
