Of all the circuits in Britain, BrandsHatch is the one that exudes the most character.
The heritage of Brands is vast – name any famous driver from the last 50 years or so and they are bound to have cut their teeth racing there.
The circuit’s unique combination of dips, cambers, fearsome corners and hills means it is still one of the world's favourite racing circuits, and with great racing and constant development from MSV continues to go from strength to strength.
That came with the formation of BrandsHatch Stadium Ltd. in 1947 and later that year the organizers convinced the BBC to film motorcycle races to be transmitted on the new television network.
BrandsHatch managed to keep up with requirements and in 1956 hosted its first Formula 2 race with victory going to Roy Salvadori, who was in considerable pain having broken several ribs in a crash in an earlier sportscar event.
The last British GP at BrandsHatch was held in 1986 with victory going to Nigel Mansell in a Williams-Honda.
