Brands Hatch

Brands Hatch is a British motor racing circuit.

Land on Brands Hatch farm in Kent, England has been used since 1927 to race bicycles, then motorbikes, and, since 1950, cars. In 1964, the Brands Hatch circuit hosted the Formula One British Grand Prix for the first time (won by Jim Clark), and would hold it every other year until 1986 (when Nigel Mansell won), as well as hosting the European Grand Prix in 1983 and 1985.

Since 1986, Brands Hatch has held touring car and other races, and is a highly successful business venture. There is talk of the 2006 British Grand prix possibly taking place there.
