i know this doco is 3 yrs old, i used to go there with my uncle from about the age of 4 ( 1966 ) until i moved to Australia in 2001. loved going there and over the years the surroundings of the track have changed so much, noticing now bigger gravel traps, less trees, i see more grandstands, we used to stand at paddock bend. walked the grand prix circuit many times when the racing used it. went to silverstone once and thought it wasnt a patch on brands.

Do you remember Minter's cafe? Basically a shed that sold brown stuff that was allegedly tea. I used to go with my Dad from when I was 5 (1963) for years until we left the area. We'd see a lot of club races as well as the big races. My Dad actually did a lot of work for a family called Hillman and used to go to watch a couple of the lads boxing,they were quite successful . Back then the fences were wooden stakes and wire, hard to believe now.

Brands Hatch Grand Prix cricuit is in my opinion one of the best race tracks in the world and you did a great video about it!

@jahvyn 2 жыл бұрын

This is excellent, thanks! I'm visiting for the first time (in fact, my first ever race track experience) for the GT World Challenge next weekend. This has really helped me to learn a bit more prior to my trip! Thanks!

Three reasons why the GP loop isn't used much. 1. Hiring Marshall's around the track costs a lot for the day. 2. Spectator viewing is pretty poor around the forest around the back and 3. noise complaints if you look at the right angle at Sheene curve and clearways you can see some houses and they complain about noise around the back section but if I were living near the GP loop i would love it, hearing cars race round from my back garden. I wouldnt complain at all. Anyway great video and I hope it helps you guys on why the good part of brands is dormant.

Great video! Really good history lesson. Been to brands loads of times. For people who have not been before, the outer GP circuit is good to view as you are so close. But they have put up extra fencing this year!

Good video, would like to see some more videos like this at other tracks.

I might be biased as it is my local circuit but it is THE best track in the world, I count my blessings to live a few miles away so can visit at any time . . . & yes, I went to watch Zanardi do his stuff in the Paralympic games in 2012, Brands is a gift that keeps on giving ;-)

Loved the video Alex, definitely cannot wait for more. My only complaint would be that you should add some engine noise to the gameplay portion of it in the background.

A stunning track all around! Went for the BTCC finale last year and if you sit in Hailwoods grandstand you can see a lot of the circuit. However soon the GP loop will not be publicly assesible due to safety bs or something like that :(

@lucatownsendracing 6 жыл бұрын

Mark Horner Yeah it's because the DTM is coming back to brands Hatch. Between 2006 and 2013 it was held on the Indy circuit, but this year it is going to be on the GP. The cars are going to be hitting crazy speeds, especially down Pilgrims drop. So MSV are having to cut off some viewing areas for safety ( the areas with no catchfencing ) and are putting more fencing around the circuit.

@MDHGames 6 жыл бұрын

Luca Townsend That is fair enoufg for the DTM however I can't see why the BTCC folks would have to be affected though. It's massively annoying. I would only block the GP loop off for the DTM and all the high speed cars

@lucatownsendracing 6 жыл бұрын

Mark Horner Agreed. I always watch the BTCC at Sheene curve as the cars are very quick through there. I will be very angry if that section gets closed off

@MDHGames 6 жыл бұрын

Luca Townsend Although I don't tend to go on the GP loop, I would like to keep it open for the other fans who do and like going down there! It looks super fun to be down there :)

They at first were going to run it anti-clockwise to be more in sync with the primarily oval racers but the decision was made to go with usual direction

@christofinb 6 жыл бұрын

This is really good although I didn't have much particular interest in knowing about the Brands Hatch circuit per say, it kept my interest, I think because it was presented so well in such a professional manner.

When you do your next documentary you should talk about some of the best races around the circuit from each series what race round the track. For example British Superbikes Brands Hatch 2011 final race Tommy HIll vs John Hopkins an absolute stunning last race

Great stuff! The only thing I'd say is to leave photos and video clips up longer instead of cutting back to you. I'd love to look at some of those old pics longer without having to pause or go back. Cheers!

Pacific Raceways in Seattle.... I know it isn't used much (outside of drag racing), and the road course isn't really that popular, but it has much of the same vibe as Brands Hatch. Fast, flowing, undulating- and it's based around a drag strip.

They don't have big motorcycling events at Brands Hatch because of how dangerous it is, especially at Hawthorns where the British Superbikes get to 170mph down Pilgrims and hit the wall at about 120mph. Watch Leon Haslam's crash there from the 2017 BSB season, probably the most horrific non-fatal crash I've ever seen.

Yes, I know how expensive it can be. I have priced tickets to the U.K. to visit family. Anyways, I hope you can make it out, Mosport is an awesome track, and even though it is pretty 'rustic', it is a great place to camp and enjoy some racing action!
