Brands races ahead as top UK track
Printable version Email to a friend Share this story Add your comment Contact us
Brands Hatch has confirmed the biggest calendar in the circuit’s 81-year history as it prepares to host more international race meetings than any other race track in the UK.

With dates for rounds of the A1 GP, the World Superbike Championship, DTM and the FIA World Touring Car Championship confirmed, along with two meetings from both the British Touring Car and Bennetts British Superbike Championships, the circuit is anticipating record numbers of fans for 2007.

Meanwhile, the circuit says it was not involved in staging the return of Champ Car to European shores.

Brands hosted a race the last time the US single-seater series crossed the Atlantic in 2003.

This week Champ Car chiefs confirmed it would stage races in Belgium and Holland.

A Brands spokesman told KentNews.co.uk: “We didn’t enter into discussions with Champ Car about staging a race – but to be honest, with our packed schedule, there isn’t much room on the calendar anyway.”
